      This is what I like about the fediverse. I asked a similar question on Reddit a long time ago. Got a snarky comment “it is what it sounds like” and nothing else.

      Thanks for answering.

        Glad I could help. Not too long ago I was thinking about the same question myself, so looking up the answer a second time was fairly easy.
