@JordiGH@mathstodon.xyz I think every niche interest known to man eventually has to do this kind of forking, in the interest of easily conveying stuff to other people who are just as deeply in the rabbit hole as you are. Sometimes, we call it "jargon".

@JordiGH@mathstodon.xyz I have a similar feelings when I happen to remain in a group call and my friends start playing Dota 2.
