Advice about #TriggerWarnings/content warnings:

1. Don't just write "Trigger Warning" at the top of your post, skip a line or two, and then put the thing. Instead, use the CW feature built into Mastodon. Below the text entry field, there's a row of icons, usually starting with a paper clip and then a globe. Somewhere in there, there should be one like a little "CW" or an exclamation point.

That hides the scary stuff unless someone deliberately opens it.

Instead of just hitting boost, think about if the thing you're boosting is accessible.

Does it need alt text? A CW?

If so, post the content with those things - sure, it takes longer than smashing the boost button, but accessibility matters.

Bring back CWs. For US politics at least.

My anxiety level cannot take that face or the constant worry about fascism.

Thanks.

I'm sorry, I've been posting a fair amount of US politics stuff without CWs. I'll resume CWing those things.

Yes. Please remember to use Content Wrappers. And alt text is easy!

@alanschenkel
Alan there has been a lot of debate about #contentwrappers aka #contentwarnings but I don't think there is any lack of consensus that a flashing strobe should be behind a conent warning. You're on med-mastonon so I think you will figure out why.

You can however "edit" and not delete the toot.

Thank you .

Thanks for the lecture, but I don't want to read stuff that gives me anxiety attacks. Please use #ContentWrappers for political content.

You don't know me.
You don't know what I've done.
You don't know what it cost me to do it.

Please use content wrappers for politics.
Good day!
