Tips for new folks
Content warnings and image captions are an important part of fedi culture. Both features promote inclusivity in their own way, and should be used liberally! You may find people are reluctant to boost otherwise good posts that lack one or both of these features.
"Politics", mentions of violence or other triggering subjects, spoilers, long posts, and plenty of other things greatly benefit from a content warning and keep fedi safer for more people.
The "Local" and "Federated" tabs aren't showing me anything (I'm using Tusky on Android). What's gone wrong here?

#introduction I'm a neurodivergent, genderqueer #trans man, and I've been working at the weird fringes of #indie #videogames for over a decade.
I started out in criticism and journalism, and now have an art practice in interactive media. I also do consulting and research for games and other media companies.
I'm finishing up a PhD by practice in Sociology at Lancaster University. I'm also exploring interactive theatre, as part of an #artist development programme with Sheffield #Theatres.
Okay I *think* I've deleted everything posted by the version of me that was using Mastodon in 2018... If you see anything about mushroom gods or whatever let me know and I'll clean it up.
