@Fragglemuppet I believe it although I think the peripheral thing people are saying is true. I ride a bike and I will stare at a driver until they look at me. It can take a while but eventually they do.

@zlatko @virtuous_sloth It became convention in the early days when Twitter was good and had a very small character limit to shorten Canadian cities to their airport codes. There was a big cohort of Westjet employees in the very beginning and I think they are to blame. #yyc is Calgary #yeg is Edmonton #yvr is Vancouver etc etc.

@virtuous_sloth It’s true. Very few of us from #yyc are here. The #yycbike crowd were very slow to get off Xitter because our city government is still there. Lots set up accounts here but then ended up on bluesky. I’m dug in and staying here but using the stupid bridge to those people. I should post more too.
