This is your reminder that the "Fediverse" is NOT a single service. It is a collection of services.

While able to communicate with each other, each service has it's own distinct culture.

Sometimes, I may want to address the people on Mastodon singularly because I want to speak to it's specific culture.

If you feel excluded because I refer to a specific service, please remain calm and understand that just because I'm in a crowded room doesn't mean I have to address everyone in it.

Thank you.
