modulux<p>I'm having a few thoughts on social norms. I'm used to IRC and Usenet, where a channel or group is understood to be an open forum and, when people make a statement, it is seen as normal for anyone else, acquainted or not, to respond to it, even tangentially.</p><p>But on more social-network-style graph-based communications where the flow is determined by a follow edge between nodes or something like it, a lot of people find it disturbing or invasive to have strangers pop into their mentions to rebut, add, or jump off from their point.</p><p>I think this causes a lot of friction and expectation mismatches. I don't think either norm is wrong, though it is useful if people make it clear which one they're expecting.</p><p>For the avoidance of doubt, I'm an IRC-type person. If I'm posting public or unlisted, I do not mind strangers to disagree with me, add their own twist, or give their own reaction. I will also respect the desire of graph people who don't want me to do that to them.</p><p><a href="https://node.isonomia.net/tags/fediculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fediculture</span></a> @irc <a href="https://node.isonomia.net/tags/cyber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cyber</span></a> <a href="https://node.isonomia.net/tags/socialnetworking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialNetworking</span></a></p>

I really appreciate the even-handed tone and thoughtfulness your bring to these discussions.

I do not regret the move. I’m a newbie who is not (yet) wedded to any particular <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/fediculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fediculture</span></a>. I find everything happening here fascinating.</p><p>I wouldn’t mind a trend to more female-identifying fedizens. 😜</p>

Yvonne Aburrow 🌻<p>I’m seeing an awful lot of photos posted with no alt text, and hashtags not using <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/camelCase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>camelCase</span></a> or <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/PascalCase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PascalCase</span></a> </p><p>Please use these for <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Accessibility</span></a> as it’s considerate to <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/DisabledPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisabledPeople</span></a> and also benefits others (e.g. if your image has text in a foreign language, translation tools can read it; Pascal Case hashtags are more readable for everyone).
