    This is one of my constant frustrations on Lemmy too. People constantly dropping abbreviations with no explanation, assuming their cultural background is universal.

      AMV has been around for years now. Plus, this was likely posted to a community that knows what an amv is and never intended for here

        The guy who posted it here should have expanded the initialism

      Yeah, it’s like these foreign language posts. Don’t they know not everyone speaks German?

      It is wild that this post about a harmless abbreviation that refers to cringey (but endearing to me) narrow slice of early-mid 2000s internet culture got this reaction out of you. Something that could be ignored or looked up.

      Be it Lemmy or the communities you stumble upon, but perhaps some introspection about how you respond and interact with the internet could use a revisit.
