       pet peeve: when local organizations, events, businesses etc forget that the internet is worldwide and stuff gets boosted to people all around the world both manually by humans and (on most platforms) algorithmically.but yes i would love to go to your event on main street.... if i had ANY CONCEPT of what city you were in!?please please please if you are advertising for an in person thing, include location data with enough detail to disambiguate globally!!(even city+state/province/whatever or just city if it's someplace big enough to have a mononym (i know where nyc is. or Paris. or Berlin. unless it's, like, Paris, KY or something in which case DISAMBIGUATE))

       @tarajdactyl always add the country. KY is Cayman Islands, for example.

       @tarajdactyl generally, just always include a top-level “country on earth” code or I will assume something possibly not intended.Georgia? Country in Europe.CA? Canada.SF? Finland.LA? Laos.NY?either Niesky, SN, DEor an aeroport in Iceland

       @tarajdactyl @mirabilos This, and to add to that, sites that close to force a language on you just because your IP is from that country, or sites/apps that assume the US way of doing this is the only way of doing things, like for instance, nobody ever would speak more than one language, right?

       @ainmosni @tarajdactyl yes, that is awful, especially since my IPv6 comes from a neighbouring country (which is closer than 80% of my own, but still)also, sites that e.g. offer a choice between DE and EN, but choose EN by default due to my browser’s UI being EN (because I hate internationalised = badly translated computer software) and then use that to override the choice from the menu!

       @tarajdactyl @mirabilos Yeah.... One of my favorites just in the US is people referring to the "Tri-state area," as if everybody would know which of the dozens of US places that are called that by the locals.

       @tarajdactyl related: include enough information to tell what the event even *is* if I don't know anything about the group running itthis post inspired by the "improv jam" I recently saw a poster for, with no details about what they are improvising (answer: standup comedy)
