There are people on this platform who want no politics.
We didn’t move over from Twitter to talk about kittens everyday.
We needed a place to carry on our work. To carry on fighting injustice, racism, misogyny, antisemitism and anti-LGBTQ hate. Because these things are important no matter what platform we are using. That was the whole point of our #twittermigration
We don’t have the privilege to be quiet.
@SpockResists I keep trying with Mastodon. But I can't get any traction here :(
Might seem silly, but you might want to get a profile picture. Doesn't have to be your face, of course! But I think a lot of people will, consciously or unconsciously, assume that someone with the default AV/pfp isn't really serious.
Turns out my comment was silly, eh? :) Apparently it's entirely possible that one's local server can show you a post from someone, and even let you reply to it, without having fetched and displayed their profile picture (and/or, as I've also discovered, their current display name).
Apologies; your picture is very nice. :)
@ceoln @SpockResists I was confused, and you just explained it! So, not silly at all! It's a learning experience and we're all still students here!
