You can't say "we" on a fediverse system, because the post is gonna be seen by everyone everywhere. I'm not on sh.itjust.works, I'm viewing your post on kbin, and it's also gonna be seen on all the other lemmy servers that are federated with yours.

This is more of a problem about English making no distinction between "we" (us including you) and "we" (us excluding you)

The same mistake could be made, since OP assumed the audience is the SIJW instance, thus using inclusive we, when actually its the whole federation, the exclusive we could have been used.

Stop using garbage ass kbin and you'll be able to see what instance the people are using. No one should have to cater to kbin users.
