They could, but zealotry makes some possibly well-meaning people behave like jerks, I guess!
And thanks so much for that - I'm glad I stayed as well, it feels like I have found more of "my people" here over time, and the conversations and connections I have here tend to be more genuine, for want of a better word.
@imalcolm 'the conversations and connections I have here tend to be more genuine, for want of a better word' - that reflects my experience here too

@CarstenBoll As long as they're giving out to me in a Scottish accent, they're welcome to be cross with me. I will listen happily to anything if it's said in Officially The Best Accent In The World
@CiaraNi
"Officially The Best Accent In The World"I would agree with that.

@CarstenBoll Oh yes, a nice bit of Scouse, always lovely to hear too

The fact that the thread under this Serious Toot has ascended into a pleasant war about the correct way to pronounce Scone is why I love the Fediverse
@CiaraNi The pronounciation is a matter of geography. The more interesting question is: Do you put the clotted cream on first, or do you put it on top of the jam?

I really, really, hate this, and to be honest telling people they need to get off mastodon.social is a big red flag for me.

There's only one way to drink coffee - black!@Sarahw @CiaraNi @bleistifterin @rgarner True. Black, no sugar except maybe a little for the last cup in the pot or the espresso you made too strong to help the taste buds swallow the bitterness.

@bleistifterin @m3t00 @rgarner @CiaraNi @Sarahw I make cold brew from Peets Big Bang. It's the one that passed taste tests of about a dozen coffee. A barista at Starbucks told me their recipe for sweet vanilla cream for their cold brew. It's 4 ingredients found in grocery stores. The taste depends on the vanilla syrup you use.

@CiaraNi I recently went into a cafe and had a brief internal battle over whether I wanted to sound like a colonialist or a culchie. Regrettably my mouth decided not to commit either way and it asked for a skun.
