All:

There has been a noticeable uptick in transphobia being reported to our server.

I want to make one thing *very* clear.

disabled.social has a zero tolerance policy for *any* transphobic content.

Any users, from any server, who are reported for transphobic content will be immediately suspended.

Servers with transphobic content, will also be blocked.

disabled.social is a safe space for everyone, including our disabled LGBTQ+ friends.

Thank you.

All,

We have created a space on the disabled.social blog for mutual aid requests in the hopes of increasing their visibility! This is being done in addition to the server threads and your own personal posts.

The blog post can be found here: https://disabledsocial.github.io/Disabled-Social-Blog/posts/mutualaid/

If you would like us to add your mutual aid request, please follow the instructions in that post.

You do not need to be on the disabled.social server to have your request added!

All,

Quick question for you.

There are some people that want to join our server that are organizations.

Organizations that do adaptive tech, a few disability rights organizations.

Thoughts on letting them into the group?

Yes?

No?

With restrictions? The restrictions could be something like they make one public post to introduce themselves, and then everything would be required to be unlisted/only shown to their followers.

Let us know in the poll below!

A fun poll.

Which format do you largely prefer when engaging with books?

Thinking about making some gingerbread cutouts possibly this weekend! Which team are you?

And how do you like to decorate your cookies?

Ok, FORMAL Poll on increasing character count and then I promise we are done lol

Expanded versions of choices:

1. Increase the character count from 500 to 1000. More space to possibly fit everything into one post, but hopefully not as cognitively draining to read.

2. Increase to 2000 or maybe even more, and do a tl;dr right at the top of the post. CW will automatically apply to posts >1000.

3. Leave it the heck alone!

All,

As promised, a poll regarding implementing Authorized Fetch on disabled.social.

Please see yesterday's post for an explanation on it, if you haven't read through it already:

@PanickedFoodie@disabled.social

POLL: Should disabled.social implement Authorized Fetch to further limit harassment and unauthorized access of people's posts?

(When voting, please keep in mind that this is a reversible action. It can be disabled again if there are too many problems w/ it.)

Please boost!

Alright poll time!

For the Mastodon guides...

I was initially publishing the short (no screenshots) and long forms (has screenshots) of the instructions individually.

BUT, I think longer term, that is going to look horrendous from a navigation standpoint.

So the poll question:

Would people be ok with combining the short and long form guides into one post, with the short instructions at the top so you dont have to see the long format at the bottom if you dont want to?
