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 in that sense I can understand the conflict. Wish, I'm a way, that it was big enough to accommodate different ways of thought without clashes.

@liztai

I guess the clash is inevitable, that's why I wrote growing pain. In any case the slower we grow the more time we have to establish a new culture, to evolve at least some changes for the better.

In general terms, the idea of "one world, one internet, let's connect all together" is wrong and a really bad idea.
What we need and should evolve is a loose interconnected setup of nodes that creates space for every one.

If it grows to fast we'll become occupied and separate more.

@jesuisatire @kissane Yea! I so agree. On twitter, the Malaysian side existed in its bubble, mostly because of the language giving it a natural separation, but when we post I English we get the clash of civilisations so to speak

To a certain extent we multilingual people even have different personalities depending on the language we use.
(actually that's when the "me" in "I" becomes disturbed about who this "it" inside really is, if there is anything at all)
