I really hate the word “folks” tbh

genuinely, could you elaborate?

Oh it’s just that like “y'all” and “folks” feel like really fake and hollow, overly friendly, like trying to create a community by calling it a community before doing any of the social work necessary to build a community. After typing all that maybe I’m overthinking it.

I had been using “y'all” just cause I like having a second person plural but after recent years I’m switching to the Philadelphia “youse”
