You're not a refugee for leaving Twitter/Reddit/whatever
You're not fleeing from war, your livelihood rooted up. You're not fleeing from violent genocide or nature disasters destroying your entire community.
You're leaving a goddamn website. Like you're not even in the ballpark of the pain and hardships that people having to flee and seek refugee is going through.
Don't joke about being a "Twitter refugee" or "Reddit refugee". It's beyond insulting...
Hello everyone🦈 #introduction
My name is Steven Shork but i go by Shork
I'm a Blåhaj who likes vegan meatballs and cuddling. I have cute teef to bite and I sometimes talk shit about shark representation in movies
Gonna toot and post pics of my life from time to time because I mostly like to chill on the couch and swim around
Come say Hi 👋
Seriously though, fedi was *built* by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.
This is *the reason* the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable — and used.
If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kinda… nice?" — that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".
So #KeepFediWeird.
ayé j'ai changé d'instance donc petite présentation : Pile00, Pile AAA qui fait du #PixelArt une fois tous les 1000 ans
For #astrodon people who are new to the fediverse and Mastodon, one of the big differences with other social media platforms is allowing others to engage with your content on the basis of informed consent.
The "informed" part means you need to tell people if there's content in your post that they might not want to read. We use the sensitive marker (content warnings) for this.
For astrodon.social, consider marking offtopic posts with a CW. Anything stressful or triggering must be behind a CW.
Enlightening fedi tip: if you see someone tooting about crimes on the TL, no you did not, but also remind them of the importance of properly setting their toot visibility 😉
