Hey Fedi, I know there are a good lot of you want actionable ways to fight fascism. You know how one of the strategies that fascists use is to overwhelm people and make them freeze up, unable to fight back? I know many of you might not be used to this because it doesn't really exist on major social media platforms, but we have a thing here called a content warning (CW) that collapsed a post with little custom tags on it. Think of it as consent. Instead of forcibly pouring Scottish breakfast tea down a stranger's throat, you can ask them if they want it and warm them it's a smidge hot to chug This is especially appreciated by those of us that are marginalised because we have to deal with trauma, horrid news, and the like on a nearly daily basis as it is, and CWs allow us to decide whether we have enough energy and emotional capacity at that moment to deal with more of it which can literally save some of our days. (To use myself as an example, I'm mostly bedridden and spare emotional energy can decide whether I'm able to physically take care of myself that day or not.)It's a small thing, and it may feel awkward or uncomfortable at first, but I promise once you get used to them, other social media sites will feel like needless barrages on your sanity and you'll feel oddly naked trying to make posts then realising they don't have that feature #Antifascim #SocialJustice #Fedi #Mastodonp.s. if you need ideas for terms to put as part of the cw, I'm happy to help share some common ones I see~

Hello fediverse! I've been wanting to get out of fuckbook and all for a while, but wasn't vibing with bluesky format... Then I found this amazing space! I haven't dragged my IRL friends in yet, but I'm excited to connect with new people here too! I'll start off with a little about myself. I'm Tara (she/her). I'm from Seattle but living in Athens, Greece for many years now. I spend a lot of time in the #communitypermaculturegarden we started here in a little corner of a park that had basically been a dumpster for years. Our "crew" is called Green Rainbow and we love to create together. We're family, friends and community members that come together to make, dream, connect and learn in a truly accepting space. Making music (singing, writing, ukulele, bass) makes me happy. So does my dog. I believe humanity can and must do better, beginning with ourselves. It's not enough to solve the worlds problems, but it's something. And something is so much more than nothing. And many little somethings can make something big happen. It's Sunday morning, my partner just woke up and we're enjoying coffee and a lazy morning before heading to the garden for our weekly "work party" 🥳 so I'll continue this later... Have a beautiful day! If you're still here, I'd love to connect and find interesting people to follow! Especially talking about #solarpunk #permaculture #communityresilience #communitygarden #climateaction #socialjustice #LGBTQ+ #inclusivecommunity fighting the system, and such... Picture of my dog because he's adorable 🥰
