Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Has 'zoom' become a generic term for video calling/conferencing? For example are people saying "let's zoom later on Skype" ?
Might be a thing with zoomers
I'm perhaps the worst zoomer to ask about zoomer stereotypes, but I haven't noticed my generation doing that. I have noticed my parents doing it though, after the pandemic any app that can do video calls is either "zoom" or "teams" depending on who you ask
Idk. I’m technically a zoomer as well and all video calling services are Skype to me
I hear FaceTime used more generically than Zoom (for mobile video chat)
I always hear people say “meets”, “FaceTime”, etc.. Zoom is definitely the most popular but I wouldn’t consider a generic term.
I've heard people say Google zoom call. 🤪
Sometimes my boss will use mention "zoom" when scheduling a virtual meeting between us and clients, but we choose which platform we use and most of us don't use zoom. So its sorta being used like that.
Bo Burnham's "Welcome To The Internet" already suggested "start a rumor / do a Zoom or / send a death threat to a boomer."
