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?
Yes. And it’s not even hard to understand what’s being said.
Well, to be honest, language is always hard to understand if you’ve never heard the words ( or acronyms) used in the first place. That’s the nature the ignorance.
Out of genuine curiosity, if you were to translate the original message into plain grammatically correct English, how would you translate it?
“Hey, what’s going on? I don’t mean to bother you, but could you call me real quick? I got a question for you.”
It’s a cold message from a stranger on a platform that doesn’t have call support.
The first half is sort of what I got out of it, though.
Thanks.
