Yesterday, the big Framasoft AMA was happening over on !opensource@lemmy.ml and I was promoting it on mastodon, because Framasoft and PeerTube are awesome.
They announced, that they would start answering questions at 5pm CET. When that time came around, a few minutes in, there were no answers yet. I got so uncertain about it all, that I was sure, I had to have gotten something wrong in my own mastodon post, leading to me editing it twice, once assuming I must have gotten CET and CEST mixed up, and then editing it back, because of course I was just overwhelmed by the idea, that it may take a few minutes to actually start answering.
You sound like me....
