My own two cents, I spent a good chunk of my childhood in the middle of nowhere Georgia, and have actively suppressed Southern-isms in my vernacular. I associate it with a time in my life where I was at the whims of people whom had neither my best interests or even their own at heart; trapped within a culture that promoted ignorance and blind fanatical devotion to evangelical hucksters. I can appreciate that this experience may not ring true for everyone from the south, and that there are plenty of southerners that don't conform to outdated values.

Nonetheless, I can't say I'll be sad to see it go.

"where is what sourced from?"

My money says you're right.

Time to learn how to host your own instance everybody.

Presumably it's only going to get better over time. I was afraid I'd lose this part of the internet when Reddit went full corpo, but to be honest the quality of discussion on Lemmy makes up for the diminished content.
