Here's one I haven't seen mentioned yet: many of us explicitly state our intended tone after our comments, to avoid miscommunication. Particularly in busy threads.

We have some great accessibility outreach communicators here, some of whom have shared how much it helps them or people they know.

Some examples:

• (Sarcasm)
• (Genuine)
• (Joke)

Sometimes these are abbreviated, but we often even avoid abbreviation - for general clarity, but probably mainly because we're always gaining new users who might not recognize the abbreviation.

Watch out for posters trying to bum rush you, trying to get you to react, and then mass reporting you to have your post removed.

They are just trolling.

If you ever say the word trans expect someone from a certain 196 community to ban you.

Don't ever assume things like tiananmen square or the fall of the soviet union are settled matters

Edit: oh and there are better instances than ml and world isn't one of them.

Another tip I haven't seen yet:

• It varies by client, but Markdown generally works, here.

• Spoiler tags seem to still be a separate extension from regular Markdown.

• Many of us try to be more careful to include ALT Text with images, as it supports both blind users, and anyone whose server is just being slow to load images:

Example of Image with Alt text in Markdown:

![alt text](/path/to/img.jpg "Title")
