Hey Fedi, I know there are a good lot of you want actionable ways to fight fascism. You know how one of the strategies that fascists use is to overwhelm people and make them freeze up, unable to fight back? I know many of you might not be used to this because it doesn't really exist on major social media platforms, but we have a thing here called a content warning (CW) that collapsed a post with little custom tags on it. Think of it as consent. Instead of forcibly pouring Scottish breakfast tea down a stranger's throat, you can ask them if they want it and warm them it's a smidge hot to chug This is especially appreciated by those of us that are marginalised because we have to deal with trauma, horrid news, and the like on a nearly daily basis as it is, and CWs allow us to decide whether we have enough energy and emotional capacity at that moment to deal with more of it which can literally save some of our days. (To use myself as an example, I'm mostly bedridden and spare emotional energy can decide whether I'm able to physically take care of myself that day or not.)It's a small thing, and it may feel awkward or uncomfortable at first, but I promise once you get used to them, other social media sites will feel like needless barrages on your sanity and you'll feel oddly naked trying to make posts then realising they don't have that feature #Antifascim #SocialJustice #Fedi #Mastodonp.s. if you need ideas for terms to put as part of the cw, I'm happy to help share some common ones I see~

Hello, hachyderm.io! I'm Artur Manuel, better known as @amadaluzia across other platforms.I've been on Mastodon in the past under @amadaluzia@bsd.cafe, and recently moved in because I was self-consious about my status as a *BSD user. If you aren't sure who I am from that tag alone, I have a webpage that describes who I am that can be found in the following URL.https://amadaluzia.is-a.devYou should expect long posts from me, as I generally like to write long posts for the sake of detail. If you want short form posts, wait for a while until I have a reason to make a short post, which can be pretty hard to find. Otherwise, you'll at least have something to read. :DAside from the basic Mastodon tags, I'll add my interests as well. I hope we can get along!#introduction #mastodon #linux #cybersecurity #programming #tech #foss #privacy

I just need to tell you folks... That I _LOVE_ #Mastodon and the #Fediverse.I know it's not perfect. I know it needs to be better and it needs to provide _much_ better safety mechanisms for vulnerable folks.But this platform, more than any other, give _us_ the opportunity to affect change in those areas for the better.Donate to your instance owner/runner if you can. <3
