Title: SOME GRAMMATICAL VOICES FOR USE IN SCIENTIFIC WRITING ACTIVE VOICE e.g. Our team collected samples and then we tested them. CLICKBAIT VOICE e.g. We collected some samples... You won't believe what happened next! PASSIVE VOICE e.g. Samples were collected and tested. HAIKU VOICE e.g. Quiet science lab. Workers arrive with samples. The testing begins. PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE VOICE e.g. We did all the collecting and testing. No need to thank us. Just doing our job. CONSPIRACY VOICE e.g. Mysterious "Samples" were harvested and covertly "tested" by so-called scientists.

Convincing people and organizations to join the #fediverse can be a frustrating undertaking.
A variation of the XKCD "standards" comic (https://xkcd.com/927/): Title: "Digital sovereignty—How it's going?" Panel 1: "Situation: The Fediverse exists" Panel 2: "The US platforms have too much power! We need a European social media plattform!" "Yeah!" Panel 3: "Situation: Follow us on Bluesky! (In addition to X, FB and Instagram)"
