@4censord "One of the" includes India too, and China. Sure "if you don't count china" you're correct, but "one of the biggest holidays per capita in the world" still includes China, still includes India.

I mean I'm not sure if you were trying to be nitpicky? The grammar holds up.

I'm happy to say Oktoberfest is also one of the biggest holidays per capita, and far less people celebrate that. But I don't want a patch on Oktoberfest either, for obvious reasons.

@shanie see, my confusion comes from the fact that i'd not have put "Independence Day in the USA" as one of the biggest holidays at all. We could argue that "Independence Day in general" is one of the biggest holidays, but every country seems to have it on different dates. Mostly, on the dates of their revolution.

And about Oktoberfest: might be important for many people, but i would not have seen it as "one of the biggest" holidays either.

@4censord Got it, that's understandable. Perhaps "One of the biggest holidays in the country that holds the most Mastodon instances" might have worked out better.

4censord :neocat_flag_pan:

@shanie fair. Though AFAIK all/most of the mastodon core devs are European, so i'd guess it wasn't actually on purpose.
Also, it seems that they commonly release on a Thursday, so i'D say coincidence

@4censord That would make a lot of sense. Maybe I'll change my OP to make it feedback: to check holidays and adjust their policy to check for holidays in the top 5 deployed countries!
