Ditto:

'Why are you still on Bluesky too?'

'But did you *delete* your Twitter account?'

’You said you switched to Proton mail too, oh that’s bad, once someone at Proton said something’

It’s nice to see new neighbours move into the Fediverse. It feels unwelcoming to see people immediately interview them about the purity of their intentions. Or telling them You’re Doing It Wrong. They've just arrived on a journey away from Big Tech. Maybe they'd prefer to be offered a seat and a cup of tea.

@Wifiwits @DavidBridger This has happily reminded me of one of the happiest moments of my life, the moment when I learnt that the Scone of Stone in the Discworld is based on an actual real Stone of Scone in Scotland.

Ahem…

SKWON

*runs, hides*

@mdreid Skwon! Well maybe if you're in the process of eating one, then with your mouth full that's what Scone sounds like

@jbenjamint @Wifiwits @DavidBridger

@CiaraNi @mdreid @jbenjamint @Wifiwits @DavidBridger Scone rhymes exactly with Doune (another very historic town just down the road).

Hope that helps.

@jbenjamint Doune. Skoon. Rhymes with loon.

@CiaraNi @jbenjamint @mdreid @Wifiwits @DavidBridger When I was a wee boy my dad told me we were going to Doune Castle*. I misheard it as Doom Castle and was very disappointed when he put me straight.

*They filmed some of Monty Python and the Holy Grail there.

PS. Scone is a Scots word and we say it skon, but if you guys want to sound silly that's absolutely fine 🙂
