Once again. I have no problem with content warnings. My problem isn’t with content warnings OR instances.

And every time you frame the answer or show me the creator of Mastodon’s answer to the content warning issue you’re telling me that you don’t understand what the issue is.

The issue is that there’s no way for me to FREELY BE WHO I AM IN PUBLIC ON #MASTODON WITHOUT HAVING TO HIDE MYSELF.

SAYING I HAVE TO HIDE THINGS ABOUT MYSELF FOR A POPULATION’S COMFORT IS ITSELF PROBLEMATIC.

The extra labor one has to do as a Black person IS the problem.

Having to move to an instance where people understand by default IS the issue.

White people don’t have to find an instance where it’s okay to talk about their daily lives of being white.

Just realized I can’t find my own unlisted posts! So #DisabledBlackTalk will have to do until I find a solution…

Now we gotta get Warnock through the Georgia special election so we have a buffer against Manchin/Sinema.

I'm writing letters to voters in Georgia through Vote Forward to get out the vote -- and you can, too! Sign up here! https://votefwd.org/campaigns

Yup, and people can also use filters. CWs for things that don't typically trigger normal people, as Karl Voit says, just dilute the whole CW system.
