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 expect the norms of what to CW will vary between instances, and it'll be up to people to add/remove CWs accordingly, instead of just boosting. Just speculating though 🤷

@nebby @ghost_bird can you add a CW to something you’re boosting?

@mathcolorstrees @nebby No - it would be convenient but it would amount to a quote-boost, with all the downsides that implies
