@NewtonMark I guess: Greens had asked for it and Lab/Libs said we didn't need one => fringe..
I see quite a lot of recent tweets at https://twitter.com/vicemergency
are you not able to see them?
(regardless, they should still set up on Mastodon)
@mikiperkins based on a recent post about CWs for AusPol maybe you can do something similar for climate/enviro with suitable hashtags instead of CW.
Aus Social Mods (@[email protected])
Hey y’all in AusSocial land, we have a new change in instance policy. The rule around CW of party and geo political content will be updated. CW is still a great option, and allows for more descriptive posting, but new updates to Mastodon 4 allow new opportunities. As of today, if you are posting about such topics you are only required to use appropriate hashtags such as #AusPol, this will allow people to filter out such things if they choose to, with the new option in settings people can choose to put an auto-warning on them. If you can’t hashtag appropriately you require a CW. We hope this makes aus.social a better place for all users as we grow - all other rules and the code of conduct remains in place.
@benraue looks like the new account requires you to manually approve followers? is that intentional?

Wall Street Journal website ad says "trust your source"? Couldn't be a worse place to misspell "subscribe" ! Not today.
Trigger Warnings == Mastodon's Content Warnings
"...it seems to be that people will look anyway" -- is this how Mastodon users behave?
Another one to make my privacy bad list... Zoo membership signup insists that date of birth be provided:
https://www.zoo.org.au/membership/
Seemingly to determine age. Error message if you don't fill it in: "Please enter the Date of birth, Adult members must be 16 years of age or older"
Fake works. Don't ask.
@brkeogh @AusSocialMods i'm following @eff and I definitely would not want to lose someone like that.
