being a system thats roughly 1/4 syskids is really odd, because its incredibly common for them to be excluded from serious conversations or even entire spaces.

it entirely just leads to them obscuring or lying about their internal ages. this is fine, but i know that they wish they could talk more about their specific experiences without being talked down to. thankfully, it seems that community thought on this sort of thing is slowly shifting.

the plural community (especially syscord) has an INTENSE ableism problem, and this is just one of the much smaller examples.

#plurality #plural #pluralgang how do you do tags on this.... idk how they work

@frith no, you've done tags right (thought i would also maybe add #pluralgang )

@GroupNebula563 thank you ! do you know if the number that shows up under the tags when i type them accurate just to my local instance or to all instances? im guessing only my local instance. do my tagged posts only show up to users on my instance, or all fediverse users looking up "#plural" ?

@frith the number shown is all posts your instance is *aware* of. when you look up a tag, some instances will query their peers and some won't and only go off posts they're aware of. if you want to follow a hashtag and get it in your timeline, i suggest the fedibuzz relay (which pulls posts in from other instances too, so you get more posts https://relay.fedi.buzz)

veryyyy i made my account yesterday LOLL. im super not technology brained so its been a bittt hard to navigate but i think i've kinda got it ?

mostly im just trying to get off of most social media. i love tumblr still, but everything else sucks. i wanted to try posting to fedi as a way to communicate more meaningfully online. i also wanted to find somewhere online where i could share my art. i have a lot of projects that i want to share online eventually too :)

@frith well, you’ve come to the right place. I would make an intro post tagging #introduction, that’ll get more eyes on your stuff! :)

thanks a ton for the follow, if all the stuff I reblog gets to be too much there is a “hide boosts” button on my profile so you only see posts that I *make*.

i also suggest following my other account at @[email protected] if you’re following this one, that one has dedicated videos and things that you can interact with like any other post!

@frith @[email protected] and heads up if you want to register multiple accounts here (or anywhere else) for each system member:

if you have an email, say “[email protected]”, setting your email as “[email protected]” will go to the same mailbox! everything after the + is ignored when deciding the recipient, but most software still considers it a separate email! it’s super handy! :)
