@Siph a couple of the replies to that say "NGMI"; what does that stand for?

@Felthry "not gonna make it" originally a /fit/ (4chan's fitness board) slang, now popular among cryptocurrency crowd. means "this is a dud" and would usually be used to weigh in on investment opportunities. note that it if the needs be to "ratio", it ultimately can just be used as a shorthand for "they are bad". whether the people saying this are for or against the crypto donation is not immediately intelligible.

@curls okay 1) you can't unlike? what if you misclick? and 2) I still can't make any sense of that phrase though, "note that it if the needs be to ratio" just... i can't seem to parse that into anything that makes sense?

re: unknown acronym, may be rude or something i don't know
@Felthry 1)sorry i meant "dislike" 2) if they want to just post a reply and flood the replies with something vaguely negative (therefore generating a greater reply to likes ratio, which is easily seen on the tweet itself and is generally considered a bad thing), they can just reply with a vaguely negative phrase. "NGMI", while not directly relevant in its meaning, is a popular meme for them and conveys disrespect so they just say it.
re: unknown acronym, may be rude or something i don't know
@curls okay i understand what you were trying to say now, but the words you said initially still don't make much sense
though it doesn't particularly matter, if i understand what you're saying anyway

@Felthry yeah np! sorry if i overcomplicated it, i get very analytical with these sort of things.
re: unknown acronym, may be rude or something i don't know
@Felthry "ratio'd" rather. a term used to mean that, from the ratio of replies/quote retweet to actual likes you can tell people hate it (since you can't unlike). it's a modern equivalent of making a lot of noise about something I guess.
