#eternalnovember — Public Fediverse posts

3/

I have seen some (non-aggressive) alt-text advocates write the alt-text themselves, and offer it to the users (who didn't add alt-text).

That is much, much better than yelling at someone (for not including alt-text)!

No nagging. No aggressiveness. No hostility.

But — the aggressiveness of those alt-text and CW advocates was (and probably still is) causing people who newly joined the Fediverse to leave —

Because one of these new users' early experiences on the Fediverse feels like they are being yelled at by these alt-text and content-warning advocates. And, don't feel welcomed. And leave.

There is a better way —

The Fediverse's Eternal November (which technically started in late October 2022) did happen.

I think one good thing about it is that — it feels like the very aggressive alt-text and content-warning advocates seem less common.

That doesn't mean that alt-text and CWs don't have value. (I often add alt-text, for example.)

Hi @philipcball and welcome to the free [1] world!

Here's something back-of-the-envelope sciencey about the #ThirdWave of #RIPTwitter, aka #EternalNovember , slightly updated from a few hours earlier.

#CanFediverseScale ? The exponentially decaying rates of new #Fediverse accounts/day and instances/day (per instances.social [2]) from 8–17 Nov were nearly the same (dlog10(N)/dt = -0.059 vs -0.055): we seem to be scaling [3]. :)

But #ThirdWave just started [1] (crude estimate for 18 Nov = circle)!

help your friends to phase into the #fediverse

they are trapped in their #socialmedia patterns. confused about #mastodon

...it is too hard for them to grasp. seriously;

"mastodon is wired and complicated"
"am i now an instance?"
"is this a cult of some kind?"
"i will join #elonmusk on mars"

help them, as this pic has helped so many middle schoolers.
