Resources

At Scans Daily we recognize that not everyone starts from the same place in discussions about privilege and discrimination. We have put together a list of resources to help us navigate this difficult area. Additionally, we've included some netiquette and slang guides, and other helpful links.

So I checked the Internet Slang Dictionary and I still have no idea what "motto" means. Is that just a funky in-joke way of saying "ditto"?

[angelophile.insanejournal.com]

That's more specific to Scans_Daily.

The Scans_Daily motto is - "It's never just you."

[box_in_the_box.insanejournal.com]

No, because a shit-ton of comms besides this one use that expression. Trying to credit s_d with "motto" would be like trying to credit Terminator 2 with inventing the phrase "Hasta la vista, baby."

Well, we made it look good.

*sticks out his tongue at you*

Considering how long S_D has been around, and that the use of the term 'motto' was meant to indicate just how often someone said, "Is it just me--?" and someone "You are not the only one!", I'd like to see an older group who had the same giggly, poking fun, female-support dynamic habit.

[angelophile.insanejournal.com]

When people use it here that's what they mean, anyways.

[khamelea.insanejournal.com]

What would be your explanation for the term's etymology, if it wasn't scan daily's motto?

Jesus Christ, FINALLY, that's been bugging me forever.
