She/her/yer wan from Tipp.
The term "fediverse" is now deprecated in favour of "United Federation of Posters". All instances must now add the subdomain "uss" to the start of their URL, and the "Toot" button should be changed to "Engage". References to "admin" will become "captain".
Please block all traffic to Romulan servers.
Make it so.
Coming from Twitter?
Let's use the #IrishTwitter hashtag to introduce ourselves and find others who've moved over.
Here’s an idea: let’s call people “people” on the fediverse instead of “users” whenever we can.
Compare:
“There are 42 users on this instance.”
vs
“There are 42 people on this instance.”
Which acknowledges our humanity more?
Language matters. We don’t need to perpetuate mainstream technology’s othering/colonial framing of “us” – designers/developers/other “clever folks” – and “them” – the users (usually one step removed from “dumb user” and usually the ones who get used).
Since #gaeilge is trending right now, if you folks on #irishtwitter know anybody who speaks Gaeilge na hAlbann #gàidhlig please send them my way - I have created a server https://ailbhean.co-shaoghal.net/
- Go raibh maith agaibh 🥰
