Hey, I'm [@Seirdy@pleroma.envs.net](https://pleroma.envs.net/Seirdy). Please read the "Follow requests" section before following me on the Fediverse (<abbrtitle="Fediverse">Fedi</abbr>). The rest is optional.
Follow requests
---------------
If you want me to consider accepting your follow request, you need to have made multiple posts. Your profile should also contain at least three of the following:
If you send a follow request and you haven't done the above, I'll wait a day or two before checking again. If you still haven't done the above, I'll reject it.
If you frequently and knowingly interact with hateful instances, I will respond to your follow request by blocking you. And possibly muting your instance.
Moving
------
I'll eventually move from Pleroma to my own Gotosocial instance, for many reasons. I'm first waiting for Misskey to fix its HTTP signatures so that it can federate with Gotosocial.
If I say something insensitive or interact with someone I shouldn’t, please let me know so I can be better. My DMs are open (i.e., you can always send me a direct message), and I have other forms of contact on my [About page](../)
I try to always always add content-warnings (<abbrtitle="content-warn or content-warning">CWs</abbr>) to sensitive topics. Sometimes, I CW "regular" topics; common examples include "TechPost", "accessibility", and "shitpost". The latter type of CW allows you to reduce the prevalence of some of my interests in your timeline.
I am okay with you using whichever post-visibility you wish when replying to me, but I speak only for myself. If I want to talk to you privately I will use an alternate means of communication.
If I want to make a well-thought-out post that could benefit others, I'll post it to [my website's "notes" section](../../notes/) and syndicate it to Fedi with the "#POSSE" ([Publish on Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere](https://indieweb.org/POSSE)) hashtag. My notes also have a dedicated Atom and RSS feed. This is much lower-volume and "cleaner" than my Fediverse profile, if that's what you prefer.
I will probably not boost pictures lacking alt-text, descriptions in the post body, or captions in comments. If I see a nice un-captioned picture, I’ll comment with my own caption instead. I often use a screen reader to reduce overstimulation and eye strain, and I sometimes use textual clients that can't display images; alt-text is really important to me!
I restricted my followers after I already had a few hundred so be aware that I didn't approve them all.
