Hey Mastodon, what's the latest take on content warnings?
When I first joined there seemed to be a lot more. In fact, when I posted my introductory post, I mentioned that I was a psychotherapist and I got some push back from folks about not putting a mental health content warning on it!
So...where are we with CW's? I have found blocking certain hashtags better for myself, but wanted to check and see what others are doing.
Thoughts?
@jkirkendall In my book, CWs are for explicitly sexy stuff, violence, and gore. Triggers like food, politics, and foss get tagged so as to let folks curate their own experiences with filters.
It's surely my age showing, but I don't go in for warning/tagging things like eye contact or discussions of mental health that *don't* involve violence of any sort.
@MsHearthWitch @elfkin This, or slight variations, have been what I've heard back from most everyone.
Seems to me back maybe 4 years ago there was a fair amount of policing around CW's, and everyone who responded to my post noted that each person's timeline is their own responsibility.
Refreshing!
