Mastodon is one of many applications that can run servers in the Fediverse. This is not Mastodon. This is the Fediverse.</p>
ikuo<p>My all-time biggest pet peeve: Someone who lives far away calls me out of the blue and says they are in town and can we get together tonight or tomorrow?</p><p>I know I'm a hermit but that doesn't mean I don't ever have plans. And if you REALLY wanted to see me, you'd have told me you were coming in advance so we could make sure to find time to see each other. </p><p>Expecting me to drop everything at a moment's notice (not for an emergency) makes me NOT want to do that for you. 🤷🏻‍♀️</p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/PetPeeve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PetPeeve</span></a></p>
Sally Mack<p>Pet peeve: Sexism and Ageism in a single word</p><p>Because I am an older woman strangers often address me with insincere, saccharine terms of endearment. "Dear" seems to be a favorite. A man riding past me on his bike said, "Hello, dear" when there was no reason for him to speak. A woman I encountered on a nature preserve greeted me with "sweetheart," which she included in every statement she made to me. I'd never seen her before. On a walk another man wished me good morning, "young lady." I am not young and don't claim to be a lady. (Also, please don't refer to older people as "xxx years young," we know we're old).</p><p>Okay, people wishing me well (sort of) but I am not a "sweet, little old lady," a cultural term repeated over and over. If you have something to say to me, you're welcome to say it, thank you. But don't patronize me.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/ageism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ageism</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/sexism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sexism</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/PetPeeve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PetPeeve</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/patronization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>patronization</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/SweetLittleOldLady" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SweetLittleOldLady</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Gender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gender</span></a></p>
Darth Osler<p>Received news today that I can close on my house and move 2 days earlier than expected. </p><p>It will be a good feeling to move back to a state where male cowboy boots are worn inside the pant legs, not outside.</p><p><a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/PetPeeve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PetPeeve</span></a></p>
Jonathan Kamens 86 47<p>FD: This is a whiny post about a <a href="https://federate.social/tags/petPeeve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>petPeeve</span></a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/firstWorldProblem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>firstWorldProblem</span></a>.<br>We like to read Carolyn Hax's live chats, but we don't like to give the Washington Post money, so we read the chats via archive.today.<br>Except archive.today only allows archives to be refreshed every 5–6 hours or something, and most weeks some a*hole with no patience tells it to archive the chat before it's finished, so often we can't read the whole thing until long after it's finished.<br>I told you it was whiny, you were warned.</p>

Eric G.<p>OK, <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PetPeeve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PetPeeve</span></a> time: 'Ethnic Cleansing' is a horrififying euphemism that implies that genocide somehow makes things *cleaner*. Anyone who wants to speak to the horror should use 'genocide'. Anyone who thinks the world will be improved by it should use 'ethnic cleansing'</p>
