seems we've got an influx of new users inbound from ACX; hey y'all, welcome to the Point! hope you enjoy your stay, pls @ me with any questions/concerns!
also check out the guide in the announcements and the federated timeline to find interesting people to follow!
@pee_zombie Hmm so when I paste a link to a toot, it does not expand the toot inline. Sad!
@pee_zombie From https://github.com/joyeusenoelle/GuideToMastodon:
Food and spiders? Holy crap, is this why so much stuff that looks innocuous to me is blurred out?
There's no chance I would have thought "oh it has spiders, better mark sensitive!" without reading that.
And if all "politics" is sensitive, auto xpost from Twitter must make everything sensitive by default? That gives a very "yikes" UX.
@dpiepgrass yeah all this stuff is very much a matter of opinion; some tribes on here skew very conservative with CWs; it very much depends on who your audience is and what your attitude is towards potential upset. my policy on this instance is that CWs are never required besides for explicit content, users are encouraged t decide their own CW policies. other instances can do as they like towards us as a consequence
@pee_zombie Crossposting with https://moa.party seems pretty painless, thanks!
@dpiepgrass unfortunately so, yeah. QTs are a major area of controversy amongst Masto users. we may be able to change this eventually by switching to a different frontend, but for now it is what it is
and for crossposting, check out the announcements! the little megaphone icon on the top of home timeline, if you're on web
