@Jlfphoto To be fair mate, I'm only here for the politics & a little light relief.

From my experience with audiences, they ultimately shape their chosen media, because without them all you have is a void in cyberspace.

Agreed, there needs to be rules & guidelines for safeguarding purposes, but if there are specific rules about politics, they need to be clearly outlined so users can decide whether Mastodon is for them or not.

I only ever use Twitter for politics & intend to do the same here.

@Jlfphoto Perhaps I'm missing something here, but what's the CW threshold you believe is correct? Total?

I've only been here 2 days, but to be honest this is the first I've heard someone recommending to CW every post. Doesn't this work the other way too, where users can compress all toots, not follow or block accounts not to their tastes?

Users ultimately shape platforms. Some early adopters will always feel pushed out, but most I'd imagine would welcome the increased traffic & engagement. 🤷🏾‍♂️

@AnthonyFStevens I'm not 100% sure tbh.
If you're having a rant or a moan, CW it.
If you're swearing, CW it.
If you're stating a fact, or a friendly opinion, don't.
If it's a really long post, CW it.

This community is all about discussion, not arguing.

Personally I will probably CW most of my posts but with descriptive tags, e.g.
"UK Politics: Rant about Sunak", or "Long post: thread on NHS A&E wait times".
