Friendly reminder to use https://radicle.xyz!




Friendly reminder to stop saying friendly reminder when what you're saying isn't a reminder.

For any ESL folks here -

"Friendly reminder" is typically used for reminding people of common knowledge. Especially for beneficial but inconvenient things that some or most people neglect to do, either because they're annoying, inconvenient, or time consuming. Things for which busy people might need a "wink wink, nudge nudge".

Friendly reminder to floss. Friendly reminder to have your cancer screening. Friendly reminder to check your tires. Friendly reminder to file your taxes early. Friendly reminder to drink more water, eat fiber, etc.


You’re assuming that no native speaker is unfamiliar with the idiom and also that no ESL speaker is familiar with it.

Alright, I will behave from now on. Excuse my harsh comments

Keep getting fucked, couldn't care less. The future is decentralized and p2p

This quickly became much less friendly

> Keep getting fucked

By what?

> The future is decentralized and p2p

I wish it was but that isn't how things are going to turn out, especially if it's only people like you pushing it.
