But even though they might seem unfamiliar or perhaps a bit peculiar, these social norms are important. They helped make the Fediverse the cozy, blooming garden in the first place.
I think, and I hope you agree, that it's worth keeping it that way.
So please, don't take it the bad way when someone asks you to put a CW on something, or add an alt-text to an image. These are small asks. And with the post (hah!) edit function you can even fix it afterwards.
Let's be excellent to each other. 💜
To help #NewHere folk find their way around here, over the last few days I was boosting people liberally.
I will now be a bit more picky.
I will look for posts with a Content Warning when that's appropriate. I will avoid boosting posts with images but without an alt-text or image description in the post.
Again, it's nothing personal. I had to go through this myself: learn when to use CW, get used to writing alt-text. I am still not perfect in this, nobody is.
But we need to get a bit better.
