CHECK PINNED IF YOU FOLLOW MENov 9, 2022

hey guys from Twitter.

we are glad to see you here but please understand that the fact that fediverse is anti-viral, anti-hierarchy and anti-capitalist is the point of it

please also understand that CWs, alt text and other stuff here is not there to "silence you" — it is to allow users greater agency over their feeds for their mental benefit, and to support disabled people.

this network was built by marginalized people. who disliked Twitter for the same reasons you do.

don't bring it back.

@rhyn @tillianisafox @LauraKT @RDHale Curious you've tagged me in this post, are you implying I'm part of the toxicity of twitter along with the others you've tagged in this? Otherwise I'm not sure why you feel we'd need to be told this.

@KernowDamo We're all new on here and there's been a number of posts today about using CW when posting politics - if you are I apologise if you feel you don't need to know this info if you already know it - I was merely being kind to existing users who don't want Mastodon to go the way of Twitter and I know you only post politics .. ok

@rhyn OK thanks Rin. I'm not especially inclined to put warnings in my posts, it's what my bio is for isn't it?
