you should take over twitter and impose your rule onto everybody, you might save humanity
@Aravosis @kathygriffin @rmayemsinger
Technically, a body is decapitated. A head is severed. It's okay to lose our heads, but accuracy matters.
@Aravosis @kathygriffin @rmayemsinger For real comedy that head should have been talking, considering how the orange man whinges about everything that doesn't go his way, which is of course most things. A Herbert West, Reanimator sort of thing.
I've been thinking about that a long time and I'm glad to finally find the opportunity to throw in my two bits.
@stux @kathygriffin @rmayemsinger @Aravosis Like this one?
#Trump dies.
@tibbi @Aravosis @kathygriffin @rmayemsinger I can’t post pics or videos for some reason. Maybe server?
I just link to pics. But that’s risky.
@kathygriffin @rmayemsinger @Aravosis
And depending on the circumstances I use it if it fit's.
Funny how triggered you are about a nobrainer detail just because of so many details that make mono sapiens what it is.
And it's funny how many people think that it's crucial because they were raised on monopoly platforms fearing some real consequences if they don't comply.
The reaction level of a society where the term gwalking exists?
@skimlines @kathygriffin @rmayemsinger @Aravosis
for the old mastodon community it's not about (content) "WARNING"
It's just an editing tool with the capability to improve communication and it's heartbreaking to see how stubborn the newbees are. Stubborn to the point that they aren't even able to play around with new tools. And that says a sh**ton more about them than anything else.
just saw a CW: uspol,twitter
seriously?
You think of CW as a content warning.
I think of CW as a subject line in an email.
Or as a delicious curtain for a surprise.
Or a brief summary to save times of others.
Blackmasties go off on their rails because of a discussion about content, warning and safe spaces because the discussion was presented to them that way.
In the end you have to spaces to write with a total number of characters.
Nothing else, it's just a spoiler.
you really think we want to have "#blacktwitter" over here, like "in the old days"?
Having grand ma and grand pa talking about the #gipskrieg?
Get yourself an upgrade, instances, subcommunitys, safe spaces, hidden chapters, new pseudonyms, make trouble, just occupy us ..
.. en fin ..
BE!

@ Gargon ist the main coder of activitypub and mastodon, just pin his statement on your profile on top, ignore comments and walk on, that's the easiest and time/energy respecting way.
@rmayemsinger @Aravosis There have been a lot of authoritarians poking into people’s business here on Mastodon since the refugee crisis.
Not that I would be sparing on the CWs. They serve as titles and a person who wants them automatically expanded can set their account that way.
I quickly learnt to think of CW as ‘Content Wrapper’ rather than a warning.
Bearing in mind that the word seems to be that Eugen is not super-hospitable to (all) the ideas floated by the marginalized community.
On the "CWs" topic, I saw another post that said, basically, "do your best and you'll be fine." Seems reasonable.
(Not gonna CW my politics posts, though, since that'll be most of what I post eventually.)
"(Not gonna CW my politics posts, though, since that'll be most of what I post eventually.)"
From what I observe that is what most of the fuss is about, though. People expecting all politics to be behind CWs. And people who discuss that primarily feeling constrained by such expectation.
The food thing, I get where they're coming from. They'll probably be disappointed, but I, myself, would love CWs for Elon and Twitter, not because of trauma but because it makes it easier to just scroll on by.
@Aravosis @tarheel @CabinLoon Everyone is different and different things trigger them.
It doesn’t make sense to try to regulate such a thing beyond hiding violence and nudity. If it’s ‘Rated R’ put a CW.
Yelling at omeone about a lack of CW if they’re coming from a diff server? 🤦🏾♀️
If people are agitated by more than that, they should switch to a very small server, and only look at their home and local timelines.
I agree that US politics being behind a CW would be great. More than any other country, Americans seem to think the whole world is their own politics. I remember following topics on Ukraine to try and find out what was happening with a 19th C war being waged in Europe. All the Americans had overtaken them arguing about which President they considered had caused it more. Never mind what Europeans want to know - all about US.
