@jameslivesinbuffalo i'm more of a shitpost appreciator than a shitposter
Graham Williams@chadloder @jameslivesinbuffalo and soon you will be told to do a cw because this is a different land. Personally, I’m all for native customs but I’m very confused, which takes energy and reduces investment.
@grahamcfwilliams Did you get told that by someone random in the Fediverse? Your instance? A moderator of your instance?
@grahamcfwilliams Just checked in and the rules on my instance are that you only need a CW for certain topics. Nudity, bodily injury, drugs, detailed sexual descriptions, mentions of self-harm, and, funnily enough, spoilers.
@grahamcfwilliams I don't have an issue with CWing on any of those. If someone from another instance has a problem with what I post they can block me and vice versa.
DrSnit@jameslivesinbuffalo @grahamcfwilliams I don’t boost people who don’t CW a really great topic bc it doesn’t follow the custom.
@DrSnit Fair enough. Whether or not certain posts will flourish on this platform is another question (customs change; time will tell!), I just wanted to say that people shouldn't feel so constrained. And an easy way is to read the rules on your server rather than worrying about what they might be!
@jameslivesinbuffalo thanks for the heads up! It helps a lot in learning.
@grahamcfwilliams oh, you need to look up the rules for your instance. I was just hiding mine to make sure I don't get banned while doing an example. But yeah. Some random on the internet being a scold isn't something to worry about as long as you know your terms of service.
@jameslivesinbuffalo thank you. The learning curve is steep.
Upside@jameslivesinbuffalo @grahamcfwilliams can ‘drugs’ be clarified? It’s so hard not to be an advocate voice for the green plants that saved my life and the lives of so many have been improved.
@Upside420 Definitely check the rules on your server (sometimes behind a link on the front page labeled "about"). I might double-check that one before talking about how I recover from snow shoveling today.

@Upside420 lol just saw your username. Yeah, Iooking at rules for your instance I think you're fine.
@jameslivesinbuffalo someone random in another instance driving massive confusion.
