Had a co-worker whose last name was Maciejewska, everyone just called her 'Mac.'
But almost everyone mispronounced her first name as well, 'Lara' - most people called her 'Laura.'
She asked me why I didn't have a problem with it, and I said, "It's easy. Same name as Superman's Mom." She got a laugh out of that.
An acceptable answer to 'Merry Christmas!' OR 'Happy Holidays!' is always, 'Thank you! The same to you!'

I think a simple change in nomenclature could help Mastodon incredibly. Servers is an inaccurate term and instance is unfamiliar and vague. Both create tension for new users.
Why not simply call Mastodon instances what they are: Communities.
Ask users which Mastodon community they'd like to join. Have community rules, community policy, and community leaders. Not server rules, instance moderators and administrators.
Let me start. Everyone is welcome at our community, thecanadian.social
TheCanadian.Social
Politics,sports,current events and laughs from Canada and across the fediverse.Mastodon hosted on thecanadian.social
Usually the value is in both the moderation style and the interaction of users with each other and the admins, to form, you guessed it... a community.
I'd like to think people that run instances aren't simply volunteer load balancers.
#SocialMedia provider or #socialmedia instance.
#Mastodon and #threads, and #bsky and others are brands. And brands carry baggage.
Just like we host #email. We also host #social
Very few care what is under the hood of our email servers. And it should be the same for social.

✨ Oh my! 🥰 A very kind & talented artist who noticed I’m a Ghibli fan mailed this wonderful little watercolor #art for the holidays! I absolutely love it!✨

That's insanely cool! I love the idea of making the terminal feel more integrated with the rest of the OS.
But, perhaps contradicting the above: Can the terminal drop the menu bar? I use Black Box just for that.
