Reminder to please CW anything to do with politics and particularly “look at the awful things these right-wingers are doing”. Being able to choose when and how to engage is important and makes a big difference to the overall mood of the timeline.

And please don’t boost politics posts with no CWs either - I’ve been seeing a lot of that recently from new arrivals

@ghost_bird wait, I’m looking for political content. Are we suggesting folks who are mainly posting political content to do this with every post?! That would be both difficult to do for them and a pretty bad reading experience for folks following.

@mathcolorstrees @ghost_bird I mostly post politics without a content warning (because basically everything I think has to do with politics) but I try to CW posts that are about awful things by describing the specific awfulness. Because I personally would open a "pol" content warning anytime but maybe not a "fascism"/"climate doom"/"cop killing" post when I am already feeling low

@unsuspicious @mathcolorstrees @ghost_bird I think this way of thinking is unhealthy and more than a bit childish. One of these things is not like the other. A video of a cop executing someone is one thing... "Kahanists enter the Knesset in the election" or "New study shows methane escaping from new melting ice" is a different category altogether

@elai @mathcolorstrees @ghost_bird I think I don't care.
