   It's quite jarring not having things like eye contact, food, and politics CW'd by most people not used to the Fediverse. I guess the massive influx in recent times has meant there's been less of a cultural onboarding than in the last few years...

     @dajb Soem of us new folks are working hard to respect the culture of the village we have moved to - others may take a bit longer. ❤️

     @grudgecat @brodriguesco @dajb @7 A picture of a human face that has seeming eye contact with the camera/viewer. Some people find it unsettling and it's kind to be kind.

     @dajb @brodriguesco @7 I swear I’m not being intentionally obtuse but what is eye contact? I can see the food thing, it can be triggering for lots of reasons but how do you eye contact someone through social media? I think I just don’t get the reference and now I’m genuinely curious.

     @dajb @grudgecat @7 still not understand why "eye contact" and "food" should be CW'ed?

     @grudgecat @7 There's a lot of things that are usual on 'anything goes' social networks which devolve into rage machines. The Fediverse, however, was designed and built to a large extent by marginalised people wanting safe spaces for human flourishing.

     As a result there are cultural norms you might not see in any instruction book it official guide (because there isn't one!) but which nevertheless make the Fedi what it is ?

     @dajb @7 I don’t understand the reference. I’m not sure I get the food one either, but I’m willing to learn.
