Discussion How come this forum relies so heavily on acronyms?

Considering how unfiltered this place is, ig I'm just confused why we use acronyms like ctb sn n when we could use the actual terms?

They know the acronyms there is a post somewhere with a list of them.

I only use them because its faster.

Same reason anyone uses acronyms, it's easier although sometimes the names of SN markets and such have to be acronymized as it's against the rules to name them directly

Me too, I forgot about the post list with the acronyms.

I think for some of the acronyms it's just faster to use them instead of the actual words. Others are for sources that can't be named outright.
