well this comment in specific was in relation to Manitka's account only being around since mid '21 when it felt like I'd seen her around at least a bit longer than that.

I don't feel like I can really expand on this much more than that without, kinda like, playing favorites.

Nah I feel that. I think for me I recognize a lot of people from even before I had an account. Like I think the first time I ever came onto here (not with an account) was like 12-13 years ago based on one of the images in my favorites. I didn’t make an account until stuff of mine was on here. And now I just lurk here like 24/7 because my adhd loves tagging projects.

Talking of tagging projects, as an Easterner I feel many defects on how they tag here.
For example:

• They seldom distinguish between kimono and hanfu (ancient Chinese clothing).
• They misunderstand Qilin (Kirin) as a kind of dragons.
• Some of mythical creatures of Chinese origin are called in Japanese (麒麟 Qilin -> Kirin, 白澤 Baize ->Hakutaku).
• Xiezhi implies Korean Mythology in spite of being a Chinese spelling.
• What is Mythological Fenghuang? The word "Fenghuang" doesn't have any modern another meanings as non-proper noun, unlike Chimera (biology) and Sphinx (cat).
• Many mythical beasts could have their own species tags, especially those which from Fabulous Beasts, many of them are commonly featured in some of Eastern franchises.

Could we get East Asian users together and set up a project to fix these kind of stuff?
