Here's our advice in the context of the fediverse as an imperfect social network: *) Always boost aid requests. - Someone will meet their need - the spot on your feed may make that connection = even if you or your immediate friends cannot. *) Use unfollow, mute, and filters for mental health. - does it spark joy? - prune your follow feed for your own needs - remember you can mute people - you can also unfollow someone's boosts *) Remember to play nice when among friends. - conflicting access needs run rampant among those who have experienced trauma - kindness is distinct from lack of consequences for being a consistently shitty person - be gentle with callouts - be honest about your own actions = be mindful of the spoon-cost and fork-inducement of your asks. Be yourself. Be willing to change. Be willing to apologize. Be careful, this network is unencrypted, and the admin sees everything.
