This is actually very interesting and I had no idea. Thanks!

I see a lot of folks referencing topology, but clearly topology is not a particularly good go-to for how to talk about holes.

• From a topological perspective, a hole in the ground isn’t a hole… But you can still fall into it.

• From a topological perspective, a hole in your logic isn’t a hole – but you can still have one.

Clearly we’re talking linguistically, not topologically.

Oh I’m blocking 196 for sure

Sort of a meta-account / fedacount that tells all Lemmy instances that accounts a, b, c, and d are all the same user.
