What's the etiquette on topic relevance for an instance like hci.social? Are people going to, like, live-toot Andor tomorrow? What about games-y stuff?
@drewww I can't speak to your server in particular, but usually if I'm livetweeting stuff I will post maybe one "listed" post under a hashtag, and then follow up with threaded (or unthreaded) "unlisted" posts which do not show up on the local timeline. so your followers will see them but not people trying to read the local timeline (except for your initial post!)
@darius oh that’s a nice model! I haven’t yet internalized the visibility options or how others use the service. IE is local timeline drawing much attention? I personally glance at it but mostly use following. Hmm.
@drewww depends on the culture of your server for sure!
@drewww great question. In theory I’m thinking any topic is fine, but in practice I’ll probably be mostly hci/social media focused?

@drewww I polled the early-summer members of hci.social about this if you can get to the beginning of my timeline.

tl;ds: Most people were ok with talking about personal/off-topic stuff, maybe use content warnings/subjects. I have been for months and haven’t received negative feedback.

@bkeegan that's useful feedback, thanks.

@drewww I’ve been tooting about #ForAllMankind, #SheHulk, #Andor. Use the hashtags to broadcast to/connect with others. I’m especially looking forward to revisiting #WorldCup social media behavior!
