#MutualAidRequest #MutualAid

Thank you so much for helping me!

Update: We thought things were getting better, they agreed to ease up on all the "you need to do everything and a half" bullshit...

but it feels like the community here hates us. People are threatening to try to get us kicked out over small things without even attempting to resolve it peacefully. We do /not/ feel safe here.

So, still on the lookout for places.

We're in the California Bay Area; anywhere in range of BART is equally good.

#MutualAid

People are continuing to be shitty. We can't take it. We need out. >,,<

Details upthread.

Two more notes re: media captions:

1st: Mastodon supports descriptions on audio and video as well as on static images and animated GIFs. Describing nonrepresentational and nonverbal art (e.g. instrumental music) can be difficult, but even a vague description can still give context to a post and its replies.

2nd: a number of semi-standardized custom emojis - e.g. - exist to say, "I can't describe this, please help". Which a lot of us want to.

seeing a lot of new ppl here posting their art, which is great !

but most of those pictures don't have captions, which is not great

captioned pictures are a big part of the culture here, much more than they are on twitter, so if you have the spoons it would be greatly appreciated if you would caption your pics

some of us, myself included, go so far as to avoid boosting posts that don't have captions, and I'd really like to boost the art I've seen today!

Let's talk about NFTs! (Thread will be continued in unlisted toots below this one.)

With so many new users arriving on .art fleeing Twitter and their support of NFTs, I thought it might be a good time to talk about .art's stance on NFTs. While users are allowed to share their NFT art on here, as Curator I will never boost it, and .art will never integrate with anything NFT related and will not encourage or promote any NFT-related content.

Hello there, i'm Rezabel Crimes! I'm a poor, neurodivergant trans woman who likes making video games.
I need around $600 for next month's rent, so I'm opening up some limited commission slots for music and 3D models.
Maybe you have a podcast or something you'd like an intro for, or you just want a 3D icon for discord? Perhaps you just have some extra cash and want to donate it to a poor queer lady? hmu!! #noxp

The Mastoverse at large has many blind and partially sighted users who would still love to engage with your creative content!

We strongly encourage use of image alt text to describe the images and videos you upload, and a lot of people won't boost ('retweet') content with no alt text.

After adding an image or video to your toot, you can click 'Edit' on the media to enter a description.

Media that doesn't have alt text will have a little blue dashed border around it in the feed.
