Hello @support @helpers !

I've just realised something, which I assume is down to imperfect federation between Friendica and Mastodon: When I reply to someone on Mastodon, it automatically includes a mention of them @name.whatever - but I don't see that mention. If it's a nested comment, multiple mentions might be included. I only realised this when someone asked to stop mentioning them in a thread, and didn't realise I had.

Is this intentional? Is there a way to not mention someone in a comment on their post (or a reply to a comment)? Thanks.

I've lived in #Britain for 25 years. Sometimes I wonder about my adopted homeland, and if I belong here. And then something like this comes along, and everything is right with the world. 🇬🇧

@liztai The US isn't the only country bordering the Gulf of Mexico, so it's a bit strange to change it. What if he wants to change the Atlantic to Fart's Ocean?

I actually wasn't aware of the dispute over McKinley until now.

@steffen @support Do you have any updates? We're now at 4 to 5 days delay with Mastodon, so can't really have conversations.

I've noticed Diaspora posts seem to show up straight away, but my Friendica posts have several days' delay reaching Diaspora.

@liztai Any recommendations for Kdramas or Cdramas on Netflix for a complete beginner?

I'm fine with drama, romance, adventure, fantasy. But not too much violence, it just reminds me of the real world.

@liztai I lived in a haunted house for a couple of years. But the ghost, or whatever it was, wasn't evil. It actually helped me out once.

I remember a month or two after moving in, asking my housemates if they thought there was a presence in the house. I was afraid if sounding silly. But they said definitely yes. They'd even considered investigating if anyone had died there.

@liztai @jfslicer es Same here. Liberal didn't used to mean left at all in Europe, although now it's used to mean that sometimes. It's imported from the US.

To me left is tied to people power, socialism, democracy - something like the origin of the phrase from France. Much of the current progressive politics isn't 'left' by these standards.

@liztai I agree with one of the links in your blog: an artist doesn't control what the audience sees in their art. So even if the intention was referencing a different painting, millions of people saw this as the Last Supper, simply because it's the most famous painting of that type.

Something else puzzles me: May I ask why you take referencing the painting of the Last Supper as blasphemous?
