For the record: I don't generally post pornographic material, gore, or subjects that I believe might reasonably cause harm or undue distress. And if I do, I would put them behind a CW.

But I do post about a variety of topics that may not be of universal interest, such as US law and politics, geeky technology stuff, ponderous art, and so on. Undesired exposure to my posts on those subjects is one of the risks of of following me. Feel free to block or mute me if that scares you.

Reupping this for the benefit of the self-appointed homeowners association.

I feel like someone on here figured out that CWed content never hits the trending page even if it would qualify based on activity.
But I can't find the post again to make sure I'm not misremembering.

It might be that dot social specifically only allows non CWed content to trend, maybe?

Does this sound familiar to you or am I having a false memory?

@Wally @FediTips I've not heard that. Could be, but I dunno.

As far as I know CWed posts cannot trend on any server, at least I've never seen a CW post trending on any Mastodon server.

I don't recall seeing a CW post trend on any non-Masto Fedi server either? I could be wrong on that though.

I'll never understand caring what others post here when nobody is tagged since we don't have algos. I guess using hashtags might put something in front of people not expecting to see it, but the world uses the web without these concerns. this kind of thinking would have kept everyone on AOL and scared of the open web.

@mattblaze I bet you'd find a market for super high res pornographic images taken with your fancy camera gear, the viewer would be able to zoom right in! Might need to invest in some different lenses though... 🤔

I have had good success in avoiding certain USA politics by muting certain keywords.
That somehow sounds like a much more productive use of one's time than trying to police what others post.

At least you don’t post cat photos.
Those are the posts I’d like to have a CW for. Or at least a hashtag so I can filter
