Enjoying it for the most part. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some tips I posted recently to a friend, gathered from various other posts on the Mastodon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Star\/favorite <\/strong>goes back to the original poster but isn&#8217;t otherwise visible. Nice way to say hey, I liked this!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Boost<\/strong>=share to spread the post.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use <strong>hashtags<\/strong> on your posts. You can also follow hashtags, depending on the client.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Speaking of clients&#8211; <strong>Tusky<\/strong> is really good on mobile. The official mobile apps are not terrific yet&#8211; the devs started on them late in the game.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The globe or lock icon helps you set <strong>visibility.<\/strong> A good guideline is global for top level posts, and then unlisted for comments and threads.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>CW<\/strong> stands for &#8220;content wrapper.&#8221; Folks are more aggressive about using them for a lot of things, even stuff that doesn&#8217;t usually get cws else net.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always add <strong>alt text <\/strong>to all your pics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot of thought and discussion about policing content wrappers and POC experiences, so I&#8217;ll make my personal thoughts clear on this. While it&#8217;s nice to use CWs liberally, we&#8217;re all over 13, here. We can handle some stuff. And more importantly, someone&#8217;s lived experiences of being targeted with bigotry are not up for debate or policing about whether it should be hidden away. Sorry, fellow white people&#8211; we can suck it up and read what Black Mastodon has to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And besides. You might learn something useful. A huge thing I will miss about Twitter is Black Twitter, which has been a very valuable part of me learning and doing better. Am I free of racism? It would be ridiculous for me to say so. Am I a better person for having read what Black people on Twitter and elsewhere have to say about their experiences? Oh, yes. Oh, 100% yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a rel=\"me\" href=\"https:\/\/dice.camp\/@mortaine\">Mastodon<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I joined dice.camp about 5 years ago when Google+ shut down.
