Gentle Reminder 💚🐘:

✅​ If you wish to warn your audience about a topic that you deem disturbing, annoying, spoilers, and so on, DO use Content Warnings to wrap your own posts. Here's how: https://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon/109282181601490676

✅​ If you do not wish to see posts about certain topics in your own timelines, DO use Filters to hide these posts for yourself. Here's how: https://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon/109323462169819778

❌​ But DO NOT, tell people in reply they should hide their own posts!

Respect what others wish to post about.

You have the options to Filter, Mute, Unfollow, Block, and even Report if a post is breaking the Server’s Rules.

Stay kind, and let others use their own voice 💚

Tiny Mastodon Newbie Tip 🐘: Content Warning (CW) is used quite liberally here. It’s an amazing Mastodon feature! Use it as often as it might be helpful. You can use Content Warning to hide a toot (post) your are writing that: - discusses or displays topics that might disturb other users (ex: violence, nudity, mental health, food, etc) ⚠️​ - discusses or displays topics that you think could be annoying or irrelevant to other users (ex: twitter, local politics, very long post, whom-who-shall-not-be-named, etc) 🔕​ - discusses spoilers of a tv show, movie, video game, or book 🤯​ - hides a joke you want to create a special surprise for! :awesome:​ HOW TO❓​ 1. On desktop, below the toot writing field, click on “CW” in the menu. The button’s icon and label may vary for mobile apps, but it should be there! 2. This will add an extra title field above with “Write your warning here” (or similar label). 3. Write the warning (what people will see) for your toot (ex: “Spoiler Star Trek Discovery Season 10!” or “Discussion of violence:” etc). 4. Write your toot normally in the field “What’s on your mind?” (or similar label) and Publish! 5. People will have to click on “Show More” to see the content of your toot. 6. Magic!✨ #TinyMastodonTip #Mastodon

@Em0nM4stodon Big thanks for reminding people of this! I don't hide my wildlife photos and I shouldn't have to. If people don't like snakes, they're free to filter me, block me, or whatever. I do my best to respect others and follow the rules. Mostly, people here on Mastodon have been pretty respectful. I'm thankful for this!
