It was common in the States when I was in school. How well someone learned to extract those lessons and apply them is a different matter. Is it more important for someone to learn how to use active voice over passive, or remember the lecture where they were told what that means? Even if you were an A student how long would you remember if you weren’t constantly applying that knowledge?

Does that go in reverse too? Subscribing to a Lemmy instance, do I have a Mastodon account by extension? I thought they were different federated services, but being able to authenticate and authorize through one (or more) accredited account(s) would make sense for both services.
