good cw etiquette 101:
-content warnings can totally be used to shorten/title posts! they don’t have to be for sensitive content
-plz use CWs for posts with possible triggers like alcohol, food, self harm, mental health, drug use, etc- we also cw for eye contact in photos here (ec)
-plz cw your lewd/nsfw content! there are kiddos here as well as sex repulsed folks
-cw stuff that can fuck with screenreaders like large blocks of repeating words or emoji spam
thx for makin fedi a safer place!
it’s also cool to use the sensitive photo feature on lewds/imgs and then put a cw in the text of the post without using a content warning, if you prefer that, like this:
💕 lookin cute today (ec, selfie)
(ps: don’t forget image captions! they become second nature after repetition, and you can also tag @OCRbot to caption images with a lot of text!)
@bee this too :3
a few other hot tips for new folks:
-give yourself a bio, profile pic, and write a #introduction before hopping into people’s mentions and follow requests, we want to have context!
-don’t be a reply guy: if you reply to every one of someone’s posts w/o them reciprocating, folks are gonna feel smothered. take it easy.
-try to interact with good faith, assuming good faith.
-blocking/muting folks is not something you should feel guilty for! this is your space, protect your energy!
