OK, so many of you new follows are posting/boosting kind of things I don't wanna deal with on Sunday afternoon me time.

Pretty please, with a cherry on top, add content warnings to politics, war, news stuff. My brain can't handle too much outrage of the day, and I am not here for doomscrolling.

If in doubt, CW. Please and thanks.

@marcjones Oh my, I had to "silence boosts" of so many people...

My controversial Fedi take is that boost is much worse than quote-posting to create healthy communities. I think boosting removes context and requires no effort, so people end up boosting way too much stuff... I would LOVE to know why someone is boosting something. After all, I follow YOU, not that other person you boosted. 

@caranha yeah, I can see a good case for quote boosting.

At the moment, I am using filtering way more than I have in the past 5 years. I am thinking about 2 weeks grace then unfollow/mute for those who really can't be bothered to follow scholar social norms.

@marcjones for those who don’t know marking a content warning is the little shield in your new post form.
@marcjones is it even possible to add a CW to a "boost"? I can't see how.
