Ann Antidote (n. p./they) 🏳🌈🍄🧷🐾🔞today I came across ppl deeming unnecessary cw about food. and since twitterexodus I have seen more pictures of alcohol in one day than in 3 years in mastodon. I candidly believe that it is up to people feeling triggered to decide if it is necessary or not. it is not that difficult to add a cw, it is not compromising much confort or information, and it can make a difference in ruining or not somebody's day (not to mention endangering somebody, mentally or even physically). until we are in those shoes, we will not be in the positiin to judge if it is exhagerated or necessary, imho. in that position, a bit of compassion and solidarity will go a long way.
(and yes, I used to think that way before. Happy to have changed my mind).
