Brendan KeoghLittle Mastodon tip if like me you find the content warning culture here overly annoying, you can just go into your settings and tell it to auto-show all posts and/or all sensitive posts. So you can effectively get rid of the content warnings for yourself but let everyone else still have them, which is cool.
James Slezak@brkeogh does anyone else have the issue that this appears not to work on the iOS app?
@Jslez oh yeah you’re right! Wonder if there’s a different settings menu on the app for it?
@brkeogh the CW thing is such a self-parody. folks demanding they should be able to follow people and then force those same people to add warnings to whatever random subgenre they’ve decided somebody has “anxiety” about. suggest, ask, unfollow, sure - but demand on pain of expulsion of entire servers? there’s nothing progressive about that #CW
lara croft@laracroft @brkeogh please post it here and just ask them to unfollow
@Jslez @laracroft i assume part of the issue is a lot of people look at feeds of people they don’t follow? I appreciate there’s an existing culture but rules like ‘put anything political behind a CW’ is silly. It’s cool the CW is built into the platform tho. And i really like it for long posts as just like a title card
Sarah@laracroft @brkeogh @Jslez it's really just a little courtesy and consideration. I do it when I'm having a bit of a whinge so if someone's having a great time they don't have to read my vibe kill.
