@Emmie i’ve been wondering about becoming a nag, because I’ve seen a similar lack of #AltText #ContentWarnings and especially about #Politics

@IbuMichele @Emmie I mean what cautionary warnings should be on politics and how to apply

@autisticlyaarjaewilliams @IbuMichele I think just a content warning so people don't have to see it on their timeline. I know there are blocks and filters but they can't get rid of everything. I think it's just about respecting the original tone, not necessarily not discussing the things you want to. I get the feeling this platform has been more about finding out about other interesting people and helping each other, rather than having a political bent like the bird site.

@Emmie @IbuMichele Do you not think that people should be able to say things how they want to say it or express how they want to express. Maybe should only be expect if people discussing rape, torture, violence, not safe for work stuff. I worry about there being over policing of warnings

@autisticlyaarjaewilliams @IbuMichele As long as problematic things are behind a content warning, I don't really see a problem. Difficult to always know what should and shouldn't be behind one - I'm sure I'll continue to make mistakes but I'll try my best. But also worth bearing in mind that if, for example, you flout your instance rules e.g. transphobia, you'll get kicked off. And if your instance allows that kind of thing, other instances will block your whole instance.

@Emmie @IbuMichele Don’t worry all good I’m pro-trans rights and support the trans community. I’d use the content warning button when I find it’s needed. But the way want to engage in politics and that stuff is different from Twitter more considered, listened to, empathetic as the politics of injustices and lived experiences from minority and marginalised voices that’s separate from electioneering and political gossip. Though, I do hope that trans people can share their
