Wondering if Mastodon is really the right space for me. Even with 10,000 characters, my last post still felt cramped. I have so much to say, and trying to pour that into any fixed container is a challenge. Perhaps Substack suits my long-form tendencies better. Is lengthy content considered poor etiquette here? Genuinely curious what others think.

CW: Polite request for any trans+ folks on fedi who post about planning for, getting, or recovering from any gender-affirming surgeries, or thoughts about getting them thereafter, in light of the effect it can have on those who cannot get them
Hey all :TransHeart: :NonBinaryHeart:
Firstly, apologies for writing this post 😔
We're glad that you are getting or were able to get the gender-affirming surgeries that you need(ed). Everybody should have access to the healthcare that they need.
Nonetheless, please may we kindly ask you to remember to add content warnings to your posts? 🥺
We're not asking you to hide your joy, your excitement, your gender euphoria, your experiences, or anything like that: we're asking you to please remember that many of us cannot get the gender-affirming surgeries that they need and may have no realistic prospects of ever being able to do so 😞
Adding a CW and using standard phrases, just like you would for other topics like politics, gives folks the option of viewing or not viewing your posts.
And no: using a euphemistic way to describe it (e.g., "Taco Tuesday") instead of adding a CW doesn't make it any less potentially-triggering to some of us who know what the euphemism means.
We're SO sorry for asking this.
We've added SO many bleeping filters to try to block everything out, but posts are still finding their way through 😭
We're genuinely SO sorry that we cannot celebrate your happiness and joy right now.
We're genuinely SO sorry that it hurts us to see others getting what they need, when we cannot even get the most basic surgical options.
We're sorry again that we've had to write this post, because we don't want to bring down anybody else's joy.
And we're sorry that we cannot be there for you if you are asking for help in relation to anything related to such matters.
Thank you :PleadingFace: :BlobCatSadSob:

One thing I wish was a part of etiquette on my federated servers:
News items that are "powerful person says stupid thing" can still be tagged as politics or put under CW.
People are good about tagging "powerful person says scary thing" - and I'm asking for the same treatment regardless of how Thing makes you feel.
Your schadenfreude is my letsnotrightnow.
