Here are some nice things you can do to be a better fedi friend:
✅ Use media descriptions.
✅ Use content warnings.
✅ Label misinformation and satire if they're not 100.00000000% obvious.
✅ Accompany your follow request with a random fact about yourself so that I know you're not a spammer.
✅ Don't be mean to others.
If you don't know yet, I occasionally make dance videos!
You can find them on my profile under the #踊ってみた hashtag.

"Noreply" e-mail addresses are not a respectful way to talk to people.
"Do not reply to this e-mail, it will not be read" has the same energy as "don't @ me".
Not good for talking to your customers, friends, etc.
Do you list your contact e-mail address? Then use it as your reply-to address, too. Don't force people to make the extra steps.
@mezzodrinker I watched the beginning of your Hyperdimension Neptunia stream to catch up and let me say, there were about 7 moments when I thought "this seems familiar, this must be when I came in". Of course, only one of those moments was the one. I guess the game does have some repetitive elements. 😆

Tip: If you're worried you won't get a chance to erase your storage media before you die, use encryption! That way, you only have to make sure not to leave it unlocked when you die.
(Inspired by @mezzodrinker's stream.)
Chatting on fedi streams is nice. If there aren't many people, the streamer will respond to most messages.
But if there's a VOD, then the conversation is forever recorded there publicly, with no good way for one party to delete it... 😕
The solution could be having ephemeral streams, or not including chat in the stream, or redacting the chat in the VOD...
Is this worth worrying about?
I am a weeb weirdo who likes to dance. You can message me in your favourite language and we'll see what happens.
