Seriously though, fedi was *built* by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.

This is *the reason* the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable — and used.

If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kinda… nice?" — that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".

So #KeepFediWeird.

@rysiek As always, making things accessible doesn't just make it accessible for people who _need_ accessibility, but also everyone else.

You may not have debilitating PTSD that gets triggered by various stories, images etc. but I betcha not getting them in your face all the time is working to lower your stress levels, etc.

@pettter the Curb-cut effect is what we're all benefiting from around here, yes.

@rysiek Ah! Didn't know it had an actual name :)
