#ettiquette — Public Fediverse posts

A friend of an aunt interviewed my kid for a job. She then said she'd pass it on to her boss for a potential hire and also her (the friend's) husband for resume advice.

Since then, radio silence

In our house there is disagreement as to next step.

Opinion #1: Just wait. This is a family friend situation--they aren't going to just forget about you. You'll hear back. (Sub-opinion: If you can think of a reason to contact them about something else to remind them you exist, do that.)

Opinion #2: The friend was previously unknown to us and had no particular connection other than the aunt. The boss and husband even less so. If something came up or the email scrolled down their inboxes a ways, it is effectively gone. Send a polite "have you heard anything?" followup ping to the friend.

For the love of all that is holy, do not reply all to mass emails, especially after the original sender says to stop. There are rare cases reply all is okay. Rare. #email #ettiquette #courtesy #communication

Sometimes it's important to omit the use of CWs when speaking about important social and culture issues or spreading critical information

This is not that time.

Please use CWs generously. There are many, many things about this situation that are triggering or traumatizing to people. This is what CWs are made for

@dcbuchan I try to talk to the image in the post and expand and compliment with the alt description. I usually put more effort into the alt and want reading it to be its own reward. Plus you get way more characters to use. #AltText #ettiquette

How come we don’t say ‘bless you’ when people fart? Same thing like a sneeze right?

I mean irl, I don’t even say bless you - because as an atheist I gotta put my foot down somewhere 😂

But we should start saying bless you when someone farts.

My fav* "helpful" replies...

Oh you have a question about a minor adjustment or quirk of an application you're using? Table-flip everything you're doing and switch to this totally different competing product/service. 😑

What have these people suffered such that they think the solution to a small problem is to throw all your familiarity & experience into the garbage and restart from scratch? Do they place no value on one's time? Bizarre.

* Stop it.

Lessons from today's #AppleEvent:

1. #Apple talks aloud in #trains and #libraries. (Repent and sin no more.)

2. Workstations at Apple look poorly designed for #work.

3. The wood-cased gizmos in Apple’s chip suite merit their own event.

4. Webcams on #iPads Air and Pro are now where God intended.

@benroyce

The Sixties trope of "Letting it all hang out", seems to have extended even further in American culture.

"Better out than in" was never meant to cover the behaviour of #VonShitsInPants.

I'm wondering about hashtag etiquette.

I usually put hashtags at the end of posts.

Sometimes, like right now, I have one main one at the beginning, sort of like a headline.

Occasionally, I'll include them online in the body of the post if it works naturally and saves space.

I don't use the same one more than once per post.

In a list at the end, I usually put one per line. Should they be alphabetized? In order of importance?

How do you do it?

Besides #aging, what else can we do to appear old enough to work at a #university?

Before we talk, people on campus often say (or act as if they believe), "You look like a student".

I always wear a collared shirt and non-denim, non-athletic bottoms (e.g., dark grey slacks). However, I rarely wear dress shoes (because the campus gym does not allow them and I can't fit extra shoes in the backpack I wear while riding to work).

Friendly reminder to help our visually impaired community: avoid hashtags in the middle of your posts

Many people use screen-readers. It can be annoyingly difficult to parse things like "I went to the hashtag store to buy some hashtag bread but I got hashtag screwed when the last loaf was hashtag sole doubt ha ha ha ha"

Please remember to put your hashtags at the end, and make sure to capitalize within the hashtag where appropriate!

Does anyone else just automatically bold *keywords/actions* in emails or messages they send or just me?

I try to make it as reader-friendly as possible but don't notice anyone else doing it.

*Would you find it helpful?*

Sure, sure, don't talk about politics or religion at the Christmas dinner table, that's the advice.

But if you really want to watch the world burn, the most controversial thing to raise, is whether one should wipe your ass sitting down or standing up.

It's Christmas so spare a thought for the people who keep this server operating so smoothly.

And if you feel inclined, maybe chuck some coins in the hat because that's how Mastodon is funded.

Karma will accrue.

@lisagoblue Absolutely you can do this! I think also a part of the #fediverse #ettiquette is not being a #clout chaser. Follow people back who follow you, unless of course they run completely antithetical to your own system of beliefs. If that is the case then soft block them.

What is the etiquette on having two separate mastodon accounts in different instances? If I am posting about two very different topics regularly, probably better to do it separately in instances where the specific topic is a main area of interest? #ettiquette #mastodon
