A piece of advice for Twitter exiles, ignore the Mastodon HOA and just have fun.

@samhainnight
The only rule for is to keep it a social media platform by keeping the antisocial shit off of it.

@samhainnight Homeowners' Association?

slang for busybodies who really REALLY want to tell you about the rules, and how Mastodon culture *is supposed to be* and how you’re doing it wrong and that you need to be more inclusive or else they’ll exclude you from their open network that’s free for everyone to join unless you don’t keep you grass mowed exactly 1.5 inches… @mneko @samhainnight @mneko @samhainnight

@benpate @samhainnight Oh, gatekeepers! I'm in furry, so I'm quite familiar with their kind. I'm sure the Mastodon types are just as anal-retentive and smugly convinced of their self-granted authority.

@mneko @benpate @samhainnight I think there’s a lot of overlap between the Mastodon admin gatekeepers and the furry gatekeepers

@mneko @samhainnight Also known as the Tone and Content Police.

@samhainnight This is the best description of the gatekeepers I’ve heard yet. So accurate.

Föderation EN So 02.07.2023 04:11:52

@samhainnight do consider our sight impaired neighbors and put alt-text on images, though.

Föderation EN So 02.07.2023 04:14:20

@jerpirate Oh absolutely. That’s just common courtesy.

Föderation EN So 02.07.2023 07:55:00

@jerpirate Do consider your tech impaired neighbors and tell us how.

Föderation EN So 02.07.2023 08:04:40

@pinata1138 Absolutely!
After you use the paperclip to upload an image, you get a thumbnail of it with a No description added link on it.

Click that link and it will bring up a modal where you can enter alt text. A brief description of the picture is fine.

After you click apply, it will no longer have the No description added link on the thumbnail, and you can publish.

@samhainnight home owner association?

Föderation EN So 02.07.2023 05:06:50

Föderation EN So 02.07.2023 05:43:25

@samhainnight nice to have some relief from the heat

Föderation EN So 02.07.2023 07:31:15

@samhainnight
What is HOA?

Föderation EN So 02.07.2023 10:08:21

@pinata1138
Ah, thank you :-) As a non-native speaker, it is sometimes difficult to understand abbreviations. Thank you for explaining!

Föderation EN So 02.07.2023 10:14:28

@suvidu No worries. But for what it’s worth I think your English is really good.

@pinata1138
Thank you 🥰

@samhainnight is it ok to drop the f word? I like the f word

Föderation EN So 02.07.2023 17:24:43

@olivewhippet Of fucking course!

Föderation EN So 02.07.2023 18:26:25

@samhainnight I'm so soooooo turning my speakers up to 11.

Föderation EN Mo 03.07.2023 00:23:10

@samhainnight Don't forget the alt text tho.

Föderation EN Mo 03.07.2023 01:45:14

@mdiediker Alt text is common courtesy and if someone doesn't have the spoons to do it, the rest of us can step up and write something for them.
