I am trying to abide by Mastodon customs but there is more than a little bit of tension between (1) endless lectures about the various rules everyone must follow and (2) claims that this is a decentralized platform no one controls and which can be used however people like.

(1) might be the current custom and preference, but (2) is how the protocol is actually built.

I think much of my issue around the Content Warning culture on Mastodon, is the vocabulary. "Content Warning" has a very specific meaning in other contexts. Here, it is more like "Content Filter" or "Subject Line," to give readers a choice to expand or not.

This feels wrong, because of other contexts where majority folks have tried to express trauma or pain at even having to hear about the racism that impacted me. Feels very much like "Ban teaching civil rights, so white kids don't feel bad."

You've probably used orientation media queries. But have you ever wondered which styles apply when the viewport is square?

Is it the landscape or the portrait ones?🤔

Well, just wondered about that & had to test. All browsers apply the portrait ones when the viewport is square.

If you want the landscape orientation styles applied when the viewport is exactly square, you can use an aspect ratio media query (for example, `min-aspect-ratio: 1/ 1`) 😼
