Hey, I’m @Seirdy@pleroma.envs.net. Please read the “Follow requests” section before following me on the Fediverse (Fedi). 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 before checking again. If you're on mastodon.social or mastodon.online, I'm less likely to accept and you might have to wait a while. If you're really close to hateful/hostile instances, I'll reject.
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 (CWs) 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 and syndicate it to Fedi with the “#POSSE” (Publish on Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere) 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.
