Hey don't put content warnings for things like "homosexuality mention" or "sex worker mention" just mentioning we exist shouldn't be put behind a content warning. That's incredibly dehumanizing.
Good CWs would be along the lines of "homophobia example" or "anti-sex worker discourse" where you're warning about things that could trigger/upset gay ppl or sex workers. Sex workers existing and being ppl isn't triggering unless you're a shitty person. Sorry but I saw a CW for "sex worker mention" :/
Hi all. I don't mean to come down on anybody, but if you're under 18, before you post, please think: "What's the chance that the people who run Mastodon.Social will get in trouble if I post this?"
This is a difficult favor to ask. We all know that sexuality doesn't just turn on on your 18th birthday, but the laws aren't always so sensitive. It would be really awful if m.s had to shut down because we were hosting publicly-visible sexual content from posters 17 and younger.
