    Oh well. Guess I gotta be patient. Thanks for the heads up!

    We wanted to make sure there was lots of time to accumulate questions, but the Fediverse is unsurprisingly rising to the occasion.

    Is that the UTC-0500 one?

    I wish more people would use that format. It's much easier to relate to your own time zone.

    Depends… I grew up with TV stations advertising shows in Eastern/Pacific time zones while I lived in neither.

    I’ve also driven to both of those time zones and can picture how many time zones away they are in my head.

    Either one of those is easier for me.

    There's an entire world of timezones that aren't the US.

    It's easier for you to remember your timezone in +- utc than making everyone else on the planet look up whatever the fuck est is every time we need to.

    Well I don’t live in the US, so yeah I know. Anyway, my point is that “easier” is subjective and very much based on a person’s experience.

    I’ve looked up UTC compared to my time many times and it just doesn’t stick. I don’t know what the current UTC time is but I could tell you what time it is in Newfoundland no problem. 🤷‍♂️

    Over a million upvotes on this post!

    Incredible engagement all.

    Certainly an instance record but is that a Lemmy record? Are many of those upvotes coming via other APIs or is it just Lemmy’s

    I have no idea where you're seeing a million, I'm seeing 1,300. But that's still very high for the fediverse! And it's definitely the highest we've ever had in one of our local communities.
