30YrdScreamerIf you're gonna post about the Traitors use a fucking content wrapper. Jeez.
TobiasDeque University: "The number of characters or glyphs per line in any section or column of text SHOULD NOT exceed 80. Use relative
CSS measurements to set column widths that average 80 characters or less."
Also Deque University:#contentwrapper { width: 790px };
JJ LitkeContent wrappers/warnings are a good thing for posts going into grisly detail about news stories.
Thanks to the people who use these.
And if you still aren't, it's that CW button at the bottom of the window where you write posts.
#ContentWarning #ContentWrapper
Max Leibman has moved!The #TwitterMigration seems to have seriously dented the #ContentWarning (aka #ContentWrapper) culture. I still see them, but they are becoming very thin on the ground on both my home and federated timelines.
That Dave Bloke ππͺπΊπ¬π§πΊπ¦I do wish more people, especially the #Twitter refugees would use the #ContentWrapper. One of the things I hate about Twitter is you end up doomscrolling. The CW allows people to choose whether to read your rant/post or potentially triggering post. This is a nice place, let's keep it that way. Use the CW. #mastodon #triggers

Christine T@SpockResists There is no doubt you will find your people and be able to hold many rigorous and energetic discussions on Mastodon. And many of us do accept that #politics is an undercurrent to even the most mundane and everyday things. But here you need to be mindful of how often and how much other users want to engage with it on a daily basis. To disregard our #MentalHealth by pushing your views onto everyone whenever and wherever you want will not be appreciated across the board.
Imagine if you were comfortably gardening in your village home and reading the news a couple times a day, but a load of vehicles with loudspeakers have started rolling through daily, yelling that there are so many things in the world to be outraged about, and we need to be guilted into becoming loud and angry ourselves.
Is that not a little bit rude?
I do disagree with the "no politics" argument but I strongly feel that we do not need more Twitter style chaos and #trauma.
So friends, just use a #ContentWrapper and I'll be much more willing to boost your political posts to your benefit.
ProkofyNow might be a good time to announce the formation of the Anti-Hall-Monitor Club on Mastodon. We pledge never to Abuse Report or use #ContentWrapper or block, unless it's crypto spam. During the beta phase of Mastodon's 2nd iteration (that's what this really is), we pledge never to use mute or block. Why?
Because we know how to scroll past.
@galacticstone Yes, please use the #ContentWrapper. I come here to get away from the worlds nastines.
blambWords matter, so if a content informing culture is going to evolve here you have to call it what it is: #ContentInforming. The term #ContentWarning creates tension because it designates content as objectively negative. If things you love constantly come with a 'warning', it doesn't feel great. As a solution, some users have proposed the more neutral term #ContentWrapper but it's too vague to gain traction. #ContentInforming clearly describes the goal of the practice.
