welcome to mastodon, newbies. here's an inscrutable list of things you can't talk about here, like "search" or "defederation is a nuclear option". there's also countless other social norms and no we won't tell you about them, people will just get really mad and harass you in the DMs if you don't put a CW on your food or if you have the audacity to complain the UX isn't flawless.
enjoy your stay
just kidding, its not all bad. we've got tankies who like to namesearch "tankie", all kinds of new guys to make up and get mad at, smug dillweeds who want you to believe it is immoral to be popular, witch hunts against instance admins who didn't defederate from a troll after 0.0001 seconds, *and* it costs money to run your own community here.
its great!!

Apparently it’s rude to recommend in a personal post that it’s helpful to use alt text
But you may also be rudely told to use alt text when you don’t 🤨
Mastodon is apparently one of the more accessible spaces for #blind readers because so many people take a minute to use #AltTest and to #CamelCase hashtags
It’s kind of awesome. Good job
Let’s not be rude about it
