😬 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.

Improving the quality of conversations on Mastodon

In our most recent Mastodon for Android release, we’re testing a new feature aimed to curb unneccesary negativity that comes from being on the Internet.

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

@box464

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?

what is a hero image at DuckDuckGo

DuckDuckGo. Privacy, Simplified.

@Edent

So

A cunning double entendre then?

My favorite kind

@FinchHaven not even a double entendre. It's literally just the marketing term for the main - or most relevant - image on a page.
@FinchHaven Hero is a general term used for the main image related to an article or web page.

@box464

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?
