Please state in which country your phrase tends to be used, what the phrase is, and what it should be.

Example:

In America, recently came across “back-petal”, instead of back-pedal. Also, still hearing “for all intensive purposes” instead of “for all intents and purposes”.

    I don’t know anything about loops but I use mastodon fairly regularly. Mastodon only has like two basic algorithms: your main feed shows the individual posts of everyone you follow or which contain hashtags you follow. Then there’s another page that will also show you the top posts of the day - I believe that goes by the posts which received the most “boosts” although I’ve seen some people say that it may take into account the number of “favorites” the post receives. It’s a fairly different concept from Lemmy.

    I’m hoping that the Fediverse thrives, even at a smaller scale. I’m so done with major corporate social media. Speaking of which, tomorrow is being called a day to switch from the corporate ones to the independent ones, like Reddit -> Lemmy, Twitter -> Mastodon, Instagram -> Pixelfed, etc.
