• Tilde abbrievations.

    From m256@m256@tilde.institute to tilde.meta on Sun Dec 10 07:50:06 2023
    What is the proper terminology to refer to my home pubnix?
    I have been just I am on "the institute" for now. Is it more proper to
    say tilde.institute? I have seen people also abbrieviating "tilde." to "~."
    I find calling it "the institute" sounds really cool but ~institute is
    probably shorter.

    I use ~inst, ~institute in the Tildeverse or other contexts where I'm
    certain that they'll understand it.

    In other contexts it depends. Often just mentioning the Tildeverse
    without naming a certain node is enough, sometimes it just needs some
    more words.

    I like referring to it as "The Institute" due to the Fallout reference.

    I always call it ~.institute, but then again, I *only* talk about it
    from within the tildeverse. I suppose in other contexts I wouldn't call
    it that, but I don't think I'd even say tilde.institute, I think I'd
    just refer to it as ``The public Unix server I go to.'' If anyone ever
    cared about that statement, then I'd explain the tildeverse and what
    The Institute is.
