  • Only 1 person I’ve ever tagged, who posts content I’m not interested in seeing, but I don’t feel like they deserved a straight-up block since they’re still active in discussions elsewhere. My app allows me to filter them without blocking them so I don’t see their posts but I still see their (default hidden) comments that I can open, so I just have a tag to remind me why.

    Recurring trolls I just block, so I don’t even see them to necessitate tags to begin with.



  • Well, depending on which hemisphere you’re standing in, at least. We arbitrarily set this idea that north = up in most depictions of the globe, but we could just as easily make Antarctica the top of the world and everything rotates the other way.

    The reason why clockwise is what it is, is because sundials were first used to tell time in the northern hemisphere, where the shadows move clockwise. If it was in the southern hemisphere, they’d have moved counterclockwise (which would be clockwise).
