😬 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.

@box464 Twitter and Facebook have both experimented with the same thing. AFAIK, Twitter still uses it when a post is receiving a lot of attention.

@Edent Didn't know that, thanks. Haven't been on either in awhile! I guess I should dust them off more often.

@box464 perhaps you might want to edit your post to be a little less "the sky is falling"?
