Two things that are really important on here:

♿ Add text descriptions to your images/videos/audio. Accessibility is fundamental. More info: fedi.tips/mastodon-and-fediver

⚠️ Use Content Warnings on anything that people may not want to read right now. It could be upsetting like violence or politics, mild like movie spoilers, but either way it shows empathy and consideration for strangers. More info: fedi.tips/staying-safe-on-mast

These features are key to keeping this place friendly. Please use them. 🙏 ❤️

@feditips And capitalize every word in a hashtag so that it's accessible for people with a screen reader, are dyslexic or just have a hard time distinguishing multiple words in a hashtag that is all lowercase!

@feditips A feature to display a warning before sending media without descriptions could be useful. Maybe based on per-instance admin settings.

@feditips lieve allemaal, willen jullie CW ook gebruiken bij de antwoorden op de vragen bij #2voor12? Ik neem het namelijk altijd op en kijk het later met J. Is zo sneu als ik alle antwoorden al weet.

@feditips as a European who's not that interested in American politics, I really appreciate it when people use CWs for that.

@feditips I used alt text for some photos I posted today, and I wondered if #AltText was part of the #CharacterCount or separate?

@feditips
Thank you! I hadn't figured out how to caption, and now I know. Screen reader tips are also great.

@feditips Using this on my iPhone—and not savvy yet, so going to ask forgiveness now—haven’t seen CW options—but will look before posting.

@feditips I am a musician. I’m trying not to annoy people with bombarding them with my content. Bear 🐻 with me as I flounder around in the darkness……

As one of the newbies leaving Twitt... sorry - the 'Bird Site' - I recognise that there is an anti-conflict culture here on Mastodon.
And - as a linguist who has lived and worked in many other European countries - I *totally* understand how inappropriate it is to criticize the culture of your host.
But - for many of us - our timelines consist of nothing BUT 'Political Content'!
Which - if Content Warnings are strictly applied - means only about two tweets are displayed per page. 🤔

@feditips is there a way to add the CW after the fact if we post something and them realize we should have used it?

@feditips Can add that after you posted?

@feditips "violence or politics" ?
A description of a beheading or discussing what your representative is saying in parliament, they don't seem equivalent to me.

@feditips if we put CW on a post or reply can we swear?

@feditips Is it appropriate or necessary to CW when commenting on someone else's post?

@feditips I am new here so soaking up the tips. Content warnings are great but I can’t see how to add them to a post.

@feditips One of the things that keep surprising me (shame on me) is realising how difficult are some interactions with technology for many people. For me, it was sad to find out too late how descriptions could improve the user experience of blind people, how UI need to add additional visual feedback rather than only using colours as green or red (for color-blind people) and why optional subtitles need to be integrated in multimedia for the sake of comprehension.

Thanks for the reminder!

Trying to be a good community member.

@feditips thanks!
I tried to post a video but was unable to today? Unsure what the issue was…is there a time/size limit?
