Morning fedi #meta question: Who’s been writing broadly (in non-micro-form) about CW culture—and culture clash—on fedi?

I’m pretty up to speed on the dynamics re: CWing experiences of racism but I’m looking for histories, analysis, longform considerations.

@kissane @jdp23 @laurenshof Would be a good start

@damon @kissane @jdp23 thanks for the shoutout, but I think Jon is better versed in this than I am on this topic.

I’ve noticed things like putting CWs on food getting less common and seems like it’s not really being adopted by post-nov22 people, but that is a trend that is hard to define exactly and mostly based on vibes, so could be wrong. I wouldn’t feel comfortable writing about it at this point because of that, too much vibes based and I personally don’t have a good read on it that’s based in more objective (whatever that means) observations

@laurenshof @damon @kissane @jdp23 I really don't understands the food one.

I think Content Warnings are useful were we cross a common decency threshold. But food? Drink? Where do we draw the line?!

Use the tools you have to remove content from your timelines automatically -- trigger words.

@unicorn People with eating disorders can be triggered by posts about and pictures of food.

What other tools are you thinking of? Filters aren't useful for removing all posts on broad topics like this -- there are too many possible keywords (and people often leave out alt-text on images, so the keywords might not even be there).
