I checked my Pixelfed messages today and see this. I’ve literally no idea what the first half means, so I asked my daughter to translate the acronyms. No idea what “no disrespect” is conveying.

I never really thought of pixelfed as a place for spam or scammers. If the intent is genuine, then I’m even more perplexed by how they are choosing communicating. I’m not going to respond because it feels off, so yeah…

Perhaps I’m just showing my age?

    Statements followed by question marks hurt my brain, and I will perceive them as disrespectful.

      It’s not proper grammar but it’s pretty common in other languages like Spanish (in fact that’s pretty much the only way to ask a lot of questions). I think it’s only disrespectful if it’s used in a situation that demands formality.
