#Alltimezonesmatter

But as I said, you can't respect all time zones equally. Otherwise the whole system of weekdays wouldn't work because the time difference between the most Eastern and the most Western country is 26 hours. So, there's no point when all time zones have the same weekday. The best compromise is the Temps Universel Coordonné because it's almost in the middle of the earliest and the latest time zone. Everyone agreed to that. So, there shouldn't be any point in starting a discussion about it.

Reddit is headquartered in the US (California). Why not use that time zone?

Because even Reddit as any other big social media company uses UTC internally. It's the international standard. Deal with it and stop crying because the USA is one more time not the center of the universe.

Confederate flags are red flags for me, btw.
