keplerI've noticed I have a bit of a subconscious checklist before I respond to people on here now.
Check their littles age.
3a. If smol, check their diaper.
this is a great example of why I can't wait for upstream Mastodon to deploy their changes to display HTML formatting

@robinsyl Heck you Toot! >:(
@kepler I'll check YOUR diaper
a fresh pup of coffee 
Ghosty@kepler That is very sweet
@GhostyCub Nothing is more validating than when someone meets all those for you ;^;
@kepler It really is and it speaks highly for you. A lot of people don't really bother with it.
And it is not only the gender identity (which is the most important thing to establish a base respect for each other, especially is somebody is not Cis. That goes without saying).
But honestly, getting the little age right is such a great bonus.
Personally I'm getting pretty annoyed if people keep calling me 'baby' because that is not what I am in littlespace. Not what pushes the right buttons or what makes me happy.

@GhostyCub I tend to default to "kiddo" when I can because it's more inclusive and harder to accidentally step on someone's toes. Kiddo is like my version of they/them ;p
@kepler I love Kiddo
@GhostyCub me tooo, it makes me blushy >///>
Lil Allan 
@GhostyCub Same its just an awesome word and i love to be called that ^^
@LilAllan It really is an adorable word and it works out so well.
Speaking of which...
@kepler , we got a new adorable kiddo here.
Not new to us crinkly folk, I know him from the birdsite and met him IRL... but this shy little lynx here is completely new to the fediverse and still trying to find his feet here. Or his tail ;)
Kvikk@kepler @GhostyCub Kiddo is the best way to describe me! :D
@kvikk @GhostyCub Awwr, thanks for letting me know, kiddo :3
Pint TiniRu!@kepler working on this mental checklist myself
@CrinkleSqueaks Go put some of that info in your bio then >:3
@kepler it's there!
@CrinkleSqueaks Nuh uh all I see are weird squiggles under your banner.
Oh wait. I forgot. I can't read 
@kepler xD even made me go check that I had put that info up there.
Is ok smol pup, you'll get there
Baby Kase@kepler my little age is [UNDEFINED]
@KaseOtter That's a mood 
That's why I keep mine as a pretty wide range

Adri -💜 Kiki - 💚@kepler *presents self* Do your worst!
@luvstiger aren't you a little too old to be leaking your diapers so much, kiddo? 
@kepler heeey, I don't leak at all! D:
@luvstiger Wow, really? Why not? It's fun 
@kepler Because I'm a big kid and leaking rarely happens! I'm quite responsible. <3
@luvstiger *sitting on a towel* dumb 
@kepler *gently pats you on the head* once you've had your fun make sure to clean up and get dry, don't want skin issues.
@luvstiger I have sensitive skin so it lets me know when I need to clean up before it becomes a problem ^^;;;
Argo@kepler No need to check me! I’m always dry!
@ArgoOtter *skeptipuppy* ...prove it
@ArgoOtter hmm okkie that's pretty good proof
@kepler *big otter grin*
