Hello,

First of all I don’t really get the actual meaning of “please”. I understand it as it used to make a polite request. However I have rarely seen any westerner saying “please” on either Lemmy, Mastodon or IRC. where I live using “please” (मेहरबानी) is used often.

    There’s rarely a use for it online. It’s used to make a request, and a lot of online discourse is making statements.

    Irl, it’s a lot more common
