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 I am fine with mastodon communities collaborating to establish norms but it's more important to welcome and encourage people for now, the content warning stuff is off putting to me.

This is a brand new community!

Interesting choice of words, Carty.

This is neither a new community nor a “brand” new one. People have lived on here for years. We are the newcomers. I’m not interested in being a colonizer. We are not tourists. Space here, and yes our presence will be transferring it out, but you don’t need to shout and leave litter everywhere
