Voice
Always keep it positive and encouraging!
Our outgoing tweets tend to be mostly informative but it's ok to have fun with that. Think casual language, puns, emoji, etc.
NodeSchoolTO draws a diverse crowd and we pride ourselves on having an inclusive space. Avoid exclusionary language and gendered group terms in tweets. (looking at u, "guys" :eyes:. "Y'all" or "everyone" make great alternatives).
examples
- Thanks for Node-ing with us today, everyone. Now go out and enjoy the :sunny:
- We're taking a lil summer vacation for the month of August but it'll be back to NodeSchool for y'all in September!
