A gentle reminder to folks who are new to Mastodon. In solidarity with those in the disabled community who rely on screen readers, we ask that you:

* Add alt text/image descriptions when you post media
* Capitalize the first letter of every word in a hashtag #LikeThis
* Avoid emojis in your display name

UPDATE: So many great questions! Please check the replies to see if your question has been asked and answered ❤️

@Roxyorz I would recomend it. :) I really enjoy working here and I believe the benefits for the US employees are excellent. I’m in NZ so things like healthcare just aren’t a problem.

I finally read the Code of Conduct for mastodon.gamedev.place. I’m happy. I’m on the right instance with the right policies in place. Thank you @aras!

@TomF haha, omg, I remember updating my status via sms. Fully agree with you. Part of it is us learning how to use this new tool and part of it is going to be how this tool grows and adapts.

@planettimmy it is highly likely yeah. I actually couldn’t even get to the site to start with. Whatever server it’s on must be getting *hammered*.

@planettimmy I think debirdify had its token revoked by a stroppy Elon. Apart from that, your thread worked perfectly for me. Thanks again. :)
