When you're on the #fediverse, please avoid censoring specific words in your toots/posts (i.e. with numbers or asterisks instead of letters).

Why? Because many of us around here have set up #filters against specific words. We do not want to read posts talking about these words, because these topics trigger us and causes us great discomfort or distress.

If you're censoring words, what you're actually doing is circumvent our filters, and the result will be that we'll be able to see posts that triggers us.

Same goes for pictures. If you're posting screenshots of other people's posts, please ensure you have a short description of what the picture is about (and a content warning when needed). Otherwise, not only is your post not accessible for people with screen readers (or people who chose to hide all media by default), it will also escape our filters.
