#fediquette — Public Fediverse posts

OK, so, not to dunk on anybody, but for Pete's sake, if you're going to post a heartrending sob story about a beloved pet who needs a new home, SAY WHERE.
(Ditto for any other situation where the location is actually relevant. Sheesh. People fail at this ALL THE TIME. It's ridiculous.)

@egghat Ich bin nicht an Fußball interessiert und filtere entsprechende Hashtags. Also danke für’s taggen!
#fediquette #hashtag #filter

Finde schon ganz schön frech, Top-10 Hashtags von einem Bot zu holen und diese dann in einen Beitrag zu kopieren, der nur aus einem Spendenaufruf besteht.

Nichts gegen Spendenaufrufe im Fediverse, innerhalb der eigenen Blase finde ich’s legitim, sich zu unterstützen.

Aber dieses Vorgehen empfinde ich als aggressiv und belästigend.

Ganz egal ob Spendenaufruf oder etwas anderes, man nötigt damit den Beitrag in die Timeline von Leuten, die gerade ganz anderen Inhalt sehen wollen 😠

@pixelcats

Not at all! I love @FediTips, I boost their posts and send links to their work often. Our Help Centre is specifically geared towards Mastodon.social users, and the #fediquette guide is intended as a quick primer to help people get up to speed on our cultural norms.

When it comes to getting the word out about the #Fediverse, and educating people about how to have a good time here, I generally take the attitude more better!

@Mastodon

I'm equally—maybe even more—excited about another resource in our Help Centre.

#Fediquette: A Community Etiquette Guide

Our community is full of passionate people who care deeply about improving accessibility and respecting consent. This resource will help newcomers to understand our cultural norms here in the #fediverse and #SocialWeb.

@heri

Naja, die #Fediquette(Fediverse-Etikette) bezeichnet die (ungeschriebenen) Verhaltensregeln in unserem dezentralen sozialen Netzwerk :fediverse:, indem n verschiedene Applikationen über ein gemeinsames (ActivityPub-) Protokoll miteinander sprechen.

[Die Fediquette ist insofern das soziale Pendant zum techn. AP-Protokoll.]

Zentrale Aspekte sind die Nutzung von Inhaltswarnungen (Content Warnings/CW) für sensible Themen (oder *hust* Spoiler 😏), das Beschreiben von Bildern für Barrierefreiheit, das Verwenden von CamelCase-Hashtags bevorzugt #AmEndeDesBeitrags (nicht wie hier im Fließtext), und generell der respektvolle Umgang, um eine inklusive und positive Kultur auf unserm Plattformen (wie u.a. Mastodon) zu fördern.
--
In diesem Kontext gibt es gerade etwas Unruhe, weil alte weiße Männer mit importierter Reichweite und Unionshintergrund meinen das Fediverse müsse sich ihren Gewohnheiten und Standpunkten anpassen anstatt andersherum.

Dazu habe ich relativ eindeutig Stellung bezogen, zu und freue mich über jeden Silberrücken, der das ähnlch sieht.

Als alter weißer Mann finde ich nicht, dass sich progressive Räume wie das :fediverse: an die Gewohnheiten und Standpunkte alter weißer Männer anpassen müssen, um einen adäquaten Diskursraum abzubilden.

Alte weiße Männer müssen viel mehr mit entsprechender Einschränkung ihrer Reichweite leben lernen, wenn sie die #Fediquette in ihrem Sinne auslegen.

[Wenn ich das kann, können andere das auch, also lasst euch nix einreden.]

"I can post tepid takes abt the horrible things happening in the world five million times a day but I don't have time to use a CW or approp tags" and other lies aholes on the fedi tell themselves.

#cw #contentwarning #contentwarnings #PSA #fediquette

If #fedi instances, or accounts on instances, come and go frequently in alpha software, would that kind of churn cause problems with other instances on the #Fediverse? What is the #fediquette for #fediDev?

Hey. You.

I know that there's serious stuffs going on. TBH, I bet I know a lot more and in a lot more deets than you think.

But...

Can you fking PLEASE use the content warning feature when you post about things that you know are traumatic for ppl? And tag it too?

"This is something they need to see!"

That's not your choice to make. It is thiers.
Respect their choice.

"I want to talk abt it! I need to!"

So content warn it and ppl who can, will. But it helps if you're not just blindly boosting.

"Fk u I'll do what I want."

Okie. I'll just block you, tbh. Or mute you if I'm feeling nice.

I'm not usually feeling nice.

#cw #contentwarning #fediquette #fediverse

Look, I don't want to tell other people how to do the fediverse, but here's a tip some of you may find useful: you really don't need to boost every single post in a long thread. If you do, then anyone who doesn't care about the thread is going to be really annoyed, and they may decide to hide all your boosts or unfollow you completely. Be considerate.
Similarly, if you're posting a long thread it's good #fediquette to make posts after the first "quiet" visibility.
#feditips

I hope this thread helps members understand community needs and costs, and helps people stay mindful and intentional on instances

Many admins and mods run at little to no profit — we’re just people with all sorts of life events and struggles, managing instances with little to no help from Mastadon

It’s not just your report or feedback — it’s hundreds to thousands each week or day

We’re happy to have you! Please keep in mind community needs while you’re here

10/ 🧵 #FediGuide #Fediquette

The above activities can lead to instances:

shutting down due to legal issues (why defederating from instances is vital, given different international laws)

running out of money to run the instance (especially if donating members quit due to safety issues)

admin/mod burnout and difficulty recruiting volunteers (most instances aren’t big enough to generate profit to financially pay off as a job; those that are, only some are paid, others volunteer)

8/ 🧵#FediGuide #Fediquette

If you don’t want rules, moderation, defederation (protecting everyone and the instance itself) and don’t realize you’re joining communities that run higher costs because of your presence

Mastadon (or other decentralized platforms like Discord that function similarly) may not be right for you

Even if you donate to instances, you may cost instances more

One bad actor heavily attacking Disabled.Social cost a community fundraiser event — we can’t do it all

9/ 🧵 #FediGuide #Fediquette

This is why it’s a smart business and safety decision to limit or suspend members violating rules and requests from admins/mods on different instances, who try to create instance wars and safety problems:

pitting communities against each other

migrating to new instances to post about ex instances

wanting instances to not use critical moderating tools like rules, strikes systems, admins/mods communicating issues across different instances, suspensions, defederating

7/ 🧵 #FediGuide #Fediquette

Members used to heavily posting on centralized social media platforms may not realize doing so on their Mastadon instances costs admins and mods more money, time and energy via increased demands on storage, bandwidth, and server processing power

That doesn’t mean we don’t want you to be here or post! It just means your admins and mods appreciate intentional posting (focused on community needs or news, not just ourselves) and donations that help the community exist

6/ 🧵#FediGuide #Fediquette

Admins and mods (not Mastadon) make and uphold instance rules and moderation to reduce conflict and maintain safety

This is financially (not just legally) smart

When a member violates rules, that member may generate more engagement responses and resultingly more moderation reports — increasing financial and labor burdens of admins and mods (with less money, time, ability to focus on other tasks)

Intentional community is awareness of costs we bring to communities

5/ 🧵 #FediGuide #Fediquette

No one on any social media platform has a right to an account

It costs every social media platform to host a user and their content

But with centralized social media, the platform eats costs (with ads, selling your data to third parties, etc)

With decentralized social media like Mastadon, your community on your instance may donate to maintain the instance (thanks to those who do!) — if donations are short of costs, admins/mods pay

2/ 🧵 #FediGuide #Fediquette

Mastadon being decentalized means instance admins and moderators bear financial and labor burden of hosting, maintaining, moderation (not Mastadon)

Like you pay for growing phone storage space, admins/mods of instances cover cost increases with each new member’s presence (like Discord)

The cost burden is not fixed, and can be a lot for big and small communities depending on member size, community engagement, if instance owners can afford costs (even if you donate)

#1/ 🧵 #FediGuide #Fediquette

If the ratio of members to admins/mods exceeds a certain threshold (and especially if members post a lot and/or generate a lot of moderation reports) it can take more money, time and labor to maintain and moderate an instance than you may imagine

This is especially the case for members violating rules and not being intentionally mindful of the community costs of their presence and violations

What does this look like in action? Great question, thank you for asking

4/ 🧵 #FediGuide #Fediquette

This is why it’s vital that instances (especially big ones or even small ones with very active members who post a lot) have solid admins and mods willing to upkeep maintenance:

instance upgrades, financial updates and reports, moderation tools, increasingly more difficult new member analysis in the age of AI and increasing scams/bad actors (and bad actors attacking marginalized communities, which alone is a huge burden for smaller instances), and more

Aus gegebenem Anlass, habe ich meine Domain-Registrierung angeschmissen und mal die folgenden Domains registriert

fediquette.de und .org

Was da wohl rauf soll...

Ich dachte an etwas wie foren-regeln.de (sollten zumindest mal da drauf 😇 ) für das Fediverse

John Mastodon was overheard saying:
It's good Fediquette to put hashtags at the end of posts.
Makes it easier for both humans and screen readers to parse your text.
#Fediverse #JohnMastodon #Fediquette

This is your periodic reminder that if something makes your boosting finger itch because it confirms your priors, you should take 30 seconds to check if it's real before tapping that button.
There's disinfo on both sides of the political spectrum, folks. And if you're on the antifa side, you need to do your pay to defend facts and reality against the fascist onslaught of lies and flooding the zone with shit.

Boosting other people's toots is important because it's an excellent way to make them aware of typos without actually telling them.

#Fediverse #netiquette #fediquette #Mastodon

I don't know if this is how things work for other Fediverse apps, but on Mastodon, if you reply to someone's post and remove their tag in your reply they won't be notified about the reply so there's a good chance they won't see it.
Therefore, if you're trying to have a conversation with somebody, leave the tag in.
If you're dunking on them and trying to hide your reply so others will see it and they won't, that's shitty; don't do that.

@atomicpoet "Don't even try to force people to see something they don't want to see" Isn't even *just* good #MastodonEtiquette or #fediquette—it's basic human decency.

(Unless you have a *very* good reason to push something past someone else's established boundaries, which in most cases, you don't.)

When you discover yet another birdsite crossposter on #Mastodon.

#crossposting #fediquette #ettiquette #fediculture

I suppose it's a lost cause, but in recognition of the fact that the US is not alone in the world, I've always tried to use #BostonMA and #BrightonMA rather than #Boston and #Brighton.
I know that our UK friends living in these eponymous towns were indeed on Twitter where I first learned to do this. I can't tell if they're here because on #Mastodon hashtag search only shows you posts they are already federated to your instance, but 🤷 I assume they are. #Fediquette #Netiquette

Aperiodic reminder that on the Fediverse, we are the algorithm. Different people use it for different purposes!

Readers can hide posts based on content, but the content need to be there on the poster's side. Here's what I ask of you:

• Speaking about a contentious or heated topic? Hashtag it.
• Speaking about a specific individual? Mention them if they're here, or use the common name for public figures. Do not exclusively use pet names or derogatories. You can use those too if you want, just make sure you have the actual name somewhere in the post.
• Heck, just always over-hashtag!

Please continue posting what you care about, I'm only asking you keep the options open for me. 😃 I can mute accounts that only post about topics I don't want, but that's unfair for people who mix it up.

Thought about the neologism #fediquette yesterday (in danish: #fedikette ) for etiquette on the fediverse. I like it. And it turns out it's already a thing, see e.g. this article from '22 https://aires.fyi/blog/fediquette-mastodon-culture/

A long, long time ago, when people exchanged usenet posts with weird dial-up connections (SLIPPP or Trumpet Winsock, anyone? ;) We had some fundamental rules on how to treat other people online — #rfc1855, also known as the #nettiquette [1]. Not that people followed them. That’s why rules typically are written. To document unwanted behaviour :). Maybe it’s time to collectively try to define the #fediquette?
