Probably not a lot of people know this now, but Mastodon's web app started out with "Publish". In 2016 a famous YouTuber jokingly offered to support Mastodon's Patreon forever if I changed the button to say "Toot" instead. Needless to say, this was a really early, and not very informed decision. The first glimpse of attention and financial support. As a non-native speaker I had no idea there was another meaning.
I work for a US company and also manage/hire people in Canada. Getting very confused about whether I’m looking at USD or CAD when I see $salary and really wishing we had different $ symbols for all the various countries that use “dollars” as their monetary unit.
I have strong feelings about local school board election candidates. Is this the most middle aged thing ever, or just the current state of local politics? 😬
I have a bunch of friends from Twitter joining Mastodon tonight so I made a quick guide to how the site works. Making it public so anyone can see/boost it if it's helpful. If you have any questions feel free to ask!
