Saielle DaSilvaI’m not telling you to transition. But i am saying you’re underestimating how much is possible. Make self acceptance something you consider for your resolution.

Saielle (she/they)Being trans means having to pick when it’s safe to pee.The first train i was across from a table of lads having way too many beers and being very loud. It didn’t feel safe to attempt to walk across them.A survey of trans people found 8% report having a kidney or urinary tract infection, or another kidney-related medical issue, from avoiding restrooms in the last year.<a href="https://www.vox.com/2016/7/12/12161210/transgender-bathroom-survey" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.vox.com/2016/7/12/12161210/transgender-bathroom-survey</a><a href="https://mastodon.lol/tags/TransOnTrains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TransOnTrains</a> <a href="https://mastodon.lol/tags/TransPOC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TransPOC</a> <a href="https://mastodon.lol/tags/Trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trans</a>

Click the hashtag, then at upper right, click the icon that looks like a person's head with a +. It should turn into an x.

Saielle (she/they)I’m wondering if y’all can help me build a community of trans people of colour on the tag <a href="https://mastodon.lol/tags/TransPOC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TransPOC</a> as i miss the wonderful people i knew on a different animal themed app. After seeing reports of racism and bad moderation I guess i’m just trying to find my people.

Maia KB ChowdhuryA few tips for newcomers, as I have learned myself since joining Mastodon (updated with edits)... <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/AltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AltText</a> Descriptions: Please use them to add text to your images, many folks here depend upon them and have been using them for years before we all arrived. This helps people who are visually impaired, and frankly, it's fun to come up with interesting descriptions for everyone. Also, for videos: try to upload a link instead of clogging your server with the file.<a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/CamelCase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CamelCase</a>: When you use hashtags, use Camel Case if you have more than one word: <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/WelcomeToMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WelcomeToMastodon</a> is easier to read than <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/welcometomastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#welcometomastodon</a> - so do that. This makes a big difference for people who are using screen readers. Use WAAAAY more hashtags than you are used to on Twitter. Mastodon is hashtag dependent. Also, it is generally good to put hashtags at the bottom of the post (unlike this post) as it is easier for screen readers.<a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ContentWarning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ContentWarning</a>: This is important, nuanced and controversial - therefore, important. What I wrote before was, "If you are posting something that might even in the slightest trigger another person, use the Content Warning (CW) option that you can toggle on at the bottom of the toot window. It's polite here. People can choose how they want to view and interact. Use CW more than you are used to on Twitter." I would add, people's lived experiences, whether racial, gender/sexual-identified, or of other important qualities, do not fall under this category. Former presidents of the US, yes, IMHO, they DO fall under this category. Use your judgement. Imagine you are sitting opposite someone in a cafe; would you blast them with your opinion on the subject you're broaching, or would you get a sense of the vibe of the connection first? Use a CW while you are getting to know the vibe. And if you don't want to keep doing the extra clicking to see what is under a CW when you scroll, you can go to Preferences > Appearance > Always expand posts marked with content warnings.<a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Diversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Diversity</a>: A few people have commented, "lots of white men here!" Well, ok, but you can also find each other by using hashtags like <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/WomenInSTEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WomenInSTEM</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BlackMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BlackMastodon</a> and many more including my favorites that I started up: <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Desi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Desi</a> and <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/MixedDesi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MixedDesi</a> (i.e. me). Start your own if you don't see yourself represented, so others can find you, too. Other popular ones I've seen are <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BIPOC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BIPOC</a>, <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BlackTwitter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BlackTwitter</a>, <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Indigenous</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trans</a>, <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/TransPOC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TransPOC</a>, <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/TransAwareness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TransAwareness</a>. Many more good ones. <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/DMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DMs</a>: DMs are under the globe option in the Toot aka Publish window for privacy setting and they appear in your full list / feed of notifications (don't freak out at that). Honestly, this still freaks me out. I've started to DM people with, "DMing you here..." so that they know it's a DM. Maybe it's just me, getting to be familiar with this...<a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Donations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Donations</a>: This is all run by volunteers. Make a donation. Click on the "about this server" at the bottom of your screen (might appear in a different location than on mine) and find out who is running your server and how to make a donation. And thank them! Donating to Mastodon generally does NOT apparently filter down to your server admin, so you might do both.<a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Filters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Filters</a>: Adding this one in my edits. On your computer (and maybe some apps) you can find Filters under Preferences so that you can weed out content for yourself. Experiment with it. A tip: just add one word at time; separating with commas does not do anything.<a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Introductions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Introductions</a>: Please write a friendly intro and use the hashtag <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#introduction</a> so people can learn about you. Be interested in others. Grow your community through daily, friendly interaction. <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SlowMode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SlowMode</a>: Ahh the ease of Slow Mode (in your Preferences settings)... you can control the feeds so that you just click "new items" at the top, giving you time to catch up. Have fun! This is like a big global cafe with many tables to sit at, and conversations to be had. Consider how you show up for the conversations. Check your bias at the door - and it's totally fine to acknowledge you have one. We are all here together being human, figuring it out, one post at a time. No judgement from this table. Use Mastodon as an opportunity to practice self-awareness and kindness in the cafe.Welcome!
