I'm developing a REAL PROBLEM with people who share voice notes or images instead of text.

Example 1) Dr's receptionist sends me a looooooooong voice note of office noise, and somebody reading her a number, which she then repeats to me, quickly followed by a text that says "that's the authorisation number".

Umm. OK. Why not just text me the number? Since you sent me a text anyway?

Example 2) Neighbourhood trustees share all their communications in the Whatsapp group as images of text on a pretty background, so we can't copy numbers or addresses, or easily search for a particular message.

When I query this, the head of the trustees tells me "just do an image search"

And when I query that he sends me a screenshot of how to access media posted in the group.

Hallo trans* und nicht-binäre Geeks und Nerds,
wir wollen am 16.06. abends in Bremen den Film TransGeek zeigen und sind auf der Suche nach einer neurodivergenten Person, die mit uns auf dem Podium über trans*, nicht-binär und Geek-/Nerdkultur reden möchte. Insbesondere würden wir gerne über Geek-/Nerdkultur und Spezialinteressen reden. Infos zum Film: https://transgeekmovie.net

PS: Wir haben natürlich ein Budget für Reisekosten, Übernachtung und Honorar.

It lets people opt-in to reading whatever you're discussing.
It allows people with traumas and triggers time to reflect before opening something.
You can use them to set up joke punchlines.
Instead of putting "🧵 2/??" or whatever at the bottom of your posts, you can put the post number in the subject field instead and it makes your thread easier to navigate.
Collapsed posts take up way less space on the timeline, making it easier to navigate.
People will still read your posts (I promise okay?), and opting in to reading something is more meaningful than being forced to read it anyway.
Subjects / Content Warnings are well supported across pretty much all fedi software.

Please add Subject / CW to your posts!

hollywood adaptation of The Dispossessed

the studio execs are on board but they insist on making a few changes. nothing too severe!

really minor things, you'll hardly notice most of them. the main one is instead of the main character being Shevek, instead he's Shrek

Hope this helps!

Composting is just feeding vegetables to other vegetables, ie. vegetable cannibalism

Being openly horny on the internet is an act of rebellion against the repressive coercions of an ever-more prudish and corporatised mainstream culture, a moral good.
