@joshfwd please toot from behind a CW. I'll expand and read as that's of interest to me.

Many won't. Many might want you up against the wall. Don't tramp mud across the host's lounge carpet.

@joshfwd I'd still read it. So would anyone else who is interested in your word.

I have begun to understand that its just being polite towards those who occupy this space who may, for reasons beyond our understanding, not want to doomscroll.

@joshfwd nope.

Anything that requires intellectual consideration. Politics, religion etc should automatically go behind a CW.

Pets, inspiring pictures, positive collaboration etc don't necessarily need to be behind a CW because they will elicit a happy reaction.

@icenijay you said please toot behind a content warning, so that’s how I read it! 😅

What you meant is, please toot ‘this’ behind a content warning.

I’m going to struggle with this, since you’re essentially saying that the content I post should be behind a content warning. I’m barely ever not going to be posting about politics.

Probably easiest if people that don’t want that don’t follow me.

Which is exactly what my original post was about.

@joshfwd there's a function here that allows people to automatically expand content warnings.

If you automatically hide your non-funny / non-entertaining posts behind a content warning, they will see them normally.

If you were (tacitly) invited into a house party, would you proudly announce your sociopolitical or religious views from a prominent place in the middle of the venue?

@icenijay the party I’m in is one people have followed me to be part of.

So I’m not sure that analogy follows.
