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 I try to put one on US politics (and food if I can remember) as those are the ones people get bombarded with he most and I'm sure they get plenty of exposure to both outside of Masto. The CW can help with a bit of currating while not losing people you like talking to.
Not sure if I've used other ones here since I tend to post pretty harmless. Sometimes I swear, but not in English :D
@Mimesatwork @jkirkendall Something to consider with food under a CW is there are ALSO a group of ppl (myself included and I know of many others) who are harmed and triggered by food being "hidden".
It's intersecting needs, and I get there are ppl who do need it hidden. But ppl who are harmed by hiding food ALSO matter.
That's why I love tagging culture. Each person then has their own responsibility and control to reduce harm in their life.
Putting food under a CW is not a neutral choice.
