In the grand scheme of things it's less important but the greatest obstacle to mass mastodon migration

is lack of gifs.

@thalestral witches.town closes end of April 👌

So apparently one of the so progressive instances on mastodon that I was advised to join (I didn't) is shutting down after the admin went on a transphobic rant against non-binary folk 😑

If you're on witches.town I advise moving ASAP.

@kateywumpus yup. And I know I've certainly tweeted stuff before without appropriate warnings when I'm triggered myself. So I get it. But the system here is much kinder.

@stealthmunchkin no worries - I actually checked out of even looking at my twitter feed for most of the day. But I did think some folk RTing must not have seen the image one way or another.

And I know I'm guilty of not using appropriate warnings when I myself am triggered... definitely why the mastodon method is vastly preferable!

@mrsteepot it was around that politician story - sadly the main outlet reporting on it used that pic as their social media image. Ugh.

Today was a day in which lack of trigger warnings made twitter impossible to use. Why would anyone RT images of sexual assault ffs

Extremely not happy that twitter lacks the CW feature mastodon has.

@[email protected] the ability to switch privacy settings per post is super useful. Hopefully reporting works a lot better here too 😊
