Why YSK: Beehaw defederated from Lemmy.World and Sh.itjust.works effectively shadowbanning anyone from those instances. You will not be able to interact with their users or posts.
Edit: A lot of people are asking why Beehaw did this. I want to keep this post informational and not color it with my personal opinion. I am adding a link to the Beehaw announcement if you are interested in reading it, you can form your own views. https://beehaw.org/post/567170
Doesn’t ‘gaslit’ mean convincing someone they’re making things up? Or is that all in my head?
Gaslighting doesn’t exist, you made it up
Oh it definitely exists. Ask anyone who has experienced living/working/dealing with a narcissist.
I think they were joking…
Lmao. Well, woosh!
I guess I’ve just had too many real arguments with people on reddit about this and this comment flew right past me. :D
Gaslighting is convincing someone that they perceived or remembered things incorrectly. That’s a very specific kind of manipulation.
Why do people use it to mean bullshitting in general?
Like most buzzwords, gaslight has lost its meaning.
Gone the way of ‘reboot’ huh? I blame the media trying to cram the trendy terms in wherever they can.
