A lion's share of the people @kissane surveyed responded that they left #Mastodon because they got yelled at, scolded and lectured when they were here. One major source for this appears to be unrealistic expectations for the use of content warnings.
I have been lectured for CWs & for posts that contradicts an "accepted" narrative. I feel surprisingly horrid after each lecture 😅
I like its decentralised nature, but it can get toxic here.

surprise, after all it's the internet! ..

I only experienced discussion and mention of CW in english languageand on mastodon.

This is an international fediVerse how do we put that into context?

@jesuisatire @kissane I have no idea lol. Are you saying that internationals are not as concerned about CW posts? I am ok with that personally. I don't think we should impose CW on anyone.

> I don't think we should impose CW on anyone.

I consider the term CW as in Warning an error.
Content Wrapper or subject line solves that issue.

Actually most of content warning has to be resolved by filters, that's on the user side or even instances can/should do that.

CW -> NSFW in any case and that means brutality or sexually explicit.

A content wrapper is pleasant because it safes my time by summing up.

A "warning" just creates different taste.

@jesuisatire @kissane hah I think I replied to the wrong thread. But yeah I think of CWs the same way.
