I’ve always assumed that meant you incremented the month (i.e next month on this date) but it turns out some people use an arbitrary day increase and you only find out when it fails.
“A month from now” means look at dates/times that work for you and get back to me. Telling someone “lets meet tomorrow afternoon” doesnt imply a specific time and more than “a month from now” implies a specific day. Your schedules are failing because you haven’t been following up so people think you aren’t interested.
It’s jarring seeing reddit style inane debatelording/condescending smug posting like the above here since federation. The evolution of Hexbear post severance from the reddit liberal hivemind has made these kind of people stand out more than any instance tag ever could.
I know, I really hate to see it here. Hexbear has always been such a warm, welcoming place, and some newcomers from other corners of the Internet have no understanding or respect for that & it hurts me. I don’t want this place to turn into just anywhere else, I’ll stop bearing if it just turns into another place where people argue
(That said it is kinda funny from time to time to see a smug lib get absolutely bandsawed, which admittedly was a large appeal of the original subreddit for me)
lol I agree and I still like federation because it does bring us new comrades and very very funny site taglines. I think it’s worth the occasional headache.
also when you say “a month from now” that would be a defined amount of time

bit presumptuous, don’t you think?

I follow up compulsively when there is ambiguity, it was just a general observation from past experience.
