With the new year soon approaching, I highly recommend that *everybody* take this reminder, this opportunity, and backup your fedi account(s).
Do it today.
Do it right now if you can.
Don't put it off.
And if you just did it... maybe do it again anyway, because doing it regularly is a good habit to get into.
"You can't just make up words."
All words are made up. That's literally how language works.
Words are just sounds with agreed-upon meanings to allow us to exchange or record ideas. And sometimes there's a dispute on what the words mean, should mean, ought to mean, and maybe the meaning changes as a result.
But 100% of them were made up, or built on top of other words that were made up. It's made up words all the way down. π’
