I'm getting the idea that political speech is just too upsetting for the people on this site. My whole purpose on social media is to engage with political speech.

Think of it this way. A content warning label serves two purposes. It protects people who don’t want their feed cluttered or upsetting and a service as a little preview of something exciting that might be hidden behind the curtain. Kind of like the quote tweet did

Also keep in mind that out of courtesy many will not boost any political tweet that doesn’t have a warning. So actually, respecting others will help get your message across and create the kind of community we want.

@jentaub @Stmorecowbell 95% of my tweets on Twitter were political. That is obviously my primary interest.

@PBall @jentaub @Stmorecowbell So therefore you don't need content wrappers? People see your toots when they're boosted, whether they follow you or not. People will be more willing to boost your toots if you put content wrappers on it.

Why do you dislike them, is the real question? What's the downside?
