"You're such a {state demonym}."
Would you take that as a compliment or not? I suppose it might depend on the state, but even more on the intention. "You're such a Minnesotan!" (Probably a great compliment.) "You're such a New Yorker." (They just accused you of being insufferable.)
I can see how new users can find the Fediverse confusing. "I made an account but when I go to Mastodon.social / join-lemmy.org I'm not there!"
I still get turned around trying to follow Mastodon accounts that I find outside of my feed. A click takes me to their instance, and I am not considered "logged in" there.

As a lifelong procrastinator, I finally understand that it doesn't help to treat any time or day as special. It's probably one of the primary enablers of putting things off: "I'll do that on a weekday," "I'll save that for a Sunday," and so on. Days of the week are meaningless, time is time.

Any thoughts on #Zoho ?
Overtly racist statements go without any finding of necessary action on Meta's part. I was about to post some of the examples here, but suffice it to say they are ugly comments regarding indigenous people, non-white people, and even celebrations of violence.
Hypocrisy or just incompetence in action?
