hey just as a reminder, if you’re posting or boosting something that is meant to create strong negative emotions in the reader, please be sure to give it a CW that gives folks a good idea of what they’re going to be seeing

by “strong negative emotions” I’m talking about outrage, fear, a sense of vulnerability or danger, empathy for others’ suffering, a sense of injustice or unfairness, or any other emotion one might expect to feel about Current Events

IMO it doesn’t matter what the post is about (it could be about drama in some obscure hobby, or something happening on GitHub, or anything else) it’s about the emotions that that post is meant to create. that’s an important thing for folks to be able to opt into or out of explicitly

adding CWs for this kind of post will help everyone have a much more comfortable Fedi browsing experience
