Mastodon is wild, you get CWs for things like food and eye contact but the endless parade of escalating anti-trans news is just right there out in the open.
@CoralineAda Euh, so much this, I've had to add a mute rule for the onion lately.
@CoralineAda I wonder if we could make it so that not only the person creating the post can choose to have it be a CW, but also we can configure our own feeds to add a CW based on tags/words/whatever works and scales socially.
@CoralineAda oh, that feature already exists here it looks like. Just keywords and phrases though, I know I'd over-filter if I attempted it.
@CoralineAda (and wasn't trying to suggest people shouldn't auto-CW their hate-related stuff, but we're a long way from general consistent practices there I think)
@CoralineAda Thanks for pointing this out. I will be more mindful.
@CoralineAda obviously depending on who posts a message, and for which audience
@CoralineAda ngl i have most of the news mastodons blocked cause they dont cw their news.

@CoralineAda

Yes, it is politics. Politics about what is happening to US. Problem? Are you so sure you're safe?

@CoralineAda it REALLY should be fucking CWed.

I'd ask, but they'd probably shout me down for being a transphobe or something (what? no).

@CoralineAda
Yeah, better report those, and if the admins doesn't block the user or instance there is always another community.

… gotta be honest, I’ve got excellent news sources, I don’t personally feel the “gay furries who live in my phone” federated system needs to be one <3!

(If you’ve read far enough to see this comment u may also find comfort in strategic muting)
