😬 I see the truly good intentions here, but...it feels similar to all the CW and ALT text replies - but coming from the official mastodon organization itself.
It was noted in the replies that Twitter and Facebook already have similar feature sets.
You can dismiss the warnings after you see it for the first time, which is good.

Oh good!
The #TwitterNanny comes to #Mastodon
Been wondering how long it was going to take before @Gargron got around to doing something important
"Remember the human behind the screen"
Always
Always
Good grief
It's worse than I thought
If you click on the accompanying image to open and save it, its file name is "hero.png"
"hero"?
We are rather full of ourselves, aren't we?
And we'll be looking out for "using an overly familiar tone, offering unsolicited advice, or starting arguments that are completely besides the point"
These will all be parsed by which #AI engine?
#Mastodon #MastodonNanny #TwitterNanny

To all of you men now mansplaining me about what a "hero image" is in web-speak, I put up my first web site using the pico text editor over telnet in about 1994
But thanks for adding to my pool of web knowledge
Also, sarcasm is a thing
Maybe do a little reading about that while you're at it, eh?
@box464 Eh, it’s a prompt, and there’s evidence it works. I generally don’t like stuff like that either but I don’t have a problem with the idea. Yet
I also don’t think we should care at all what commercial social networks think about Mastodon. They’re always going to make fun of it
@box464 First instinct: Nonononono!
But then: No big deal. Keep the "Don't remind me again", and I'll be fine.
Seems unnecessary, though. I'm afraid "Complete strangers using an overly familiar tone, offering unsolicited advice, or starting arguments that are completely besides the point" won't be budged, and everyone else will be slightly annoyed, because they already know this.
Going to give this dead horse one more whack
I follow #Mastodon quite closely on #Github
That said, on mastodon - mastodon-android I can find no mention of this in either Issues (open or closed) or Pull Requests (open or closed) using any search modifiers I can quickly think of - given the time I'm willing to waste looking
And there don't seem to be any mastodon-android Discussions
Wonder if this is another feature that @Gargron has decided on without any extensive input
