        Fwiw, this made it to the front page of All on instances other than yours. Not that it’s in any way OP’s fault, seeing it just might confuse or alarm other who aren’t paying close attention.

          It just gets annoying after a point. Other countries, particularly Canada, the US and the UK get basically the entire internet for themselves. Especially America, where no matter where you are it’s just automatically assumed you’re American and know everything about America. Not specifically directed at the comment above, but it does get really annoying that we can’t have a single place on the internet where people won’t be get confused and complain about how differently we do things and have things on different dates

            I certainly understand the sentiment and I find it annoying when Americans chime in with very little understanding and give their 2c. Luckily we haven’t had any (to my knowledge) in the referendum megathread. The problem with that comment was it was a bit aggressive

              I can’t blame them, that comment annoyed me too. This community is literally called “Australia”, is on the “aussie.zone” instance, and it’s icon is Australia. I don’t see how anyone looks at that and goes “oh they must be talking about British holidays!”
