There's also !possums@possumpat.io .
Or at least I think there is. I still don't know the difference between an opossum and a possum.
Opossums (usually pronounced as ‘possum but the o actually isn’t silent) are the marsupials that live in the Americas, the most familiar of which being the Virginia opossum. Possums live in Australia.
Oh, I can tell ya.
Opossum...possum
Potato...tater
Same thing, just word play. One is official. You wouldn't expect to see a discussion of taters in a science journal, but you could be asked to bring tater salad to the cookout.
