Hej fedivenner. Jeg vil gerne slå et slag for at "content warnings" bliver brugt som netop advarsler om potentielt stødende/chokerende/triggerende indhold og ikke bare som et emnefelt. Sommetider er halvdelen af mit feed gemt bag vilkårlige content warnings. Hvis man vil være hjælpsom, kan man i stedet tagge sine indlæg, så folk kan filtrere på den måde.
Hvad siger I?
wenn ich das recht mitbekam, war z.B. die "Content Warning" im Protokoll eigentlich als Überschrift gedacht, wurde dann für "Spoiler" genutzt, die dann zu den CWs wurde.
Quoted Posts werden jetzt nach etlichen Jahren langsam eingeführt
Andererseits muss man Mastodon halt zugestehen, dass es den Einstieg vergleichsweise einfach macht. Also abgesehen davon, dass dieses Instanzen-Zeug für Monopol-gewohnte User anscheinend generell nicht so einfach ist.
Und die meisten Alternativen skalieren auch schlecht auf sehr viele User.
I thought that some of you might find this interesting, since so many in the Fediverse genuinely care about accessibility.

Yeah, I'm so over it now. I'm just going to unfollow and possibly mute people who aren't CWing, or at the very least, hashtagging their political shit.
I know what's going on. Horrible, horrible shit is happening every day. I have my news sources that I trust, and I am getting my news in doses that won't drive my mental health into a chasm.
For the love of whatever it is that you personally find holy, CW your shit.
People complain about content warnings for politics or nipples, but nobody uses the content warnings I want: posting of non-metric units.

This was a test of content warning mechanics.
Findings:
- The search tab trending system excludes posts with content warnings from trending.
- Posting, and then editing to add a CW, also stops a post from trending.
- Removing the CW later will make the post eligible for trending again.
Note: I did not test if adding a CW would remove an *already* trending post from the trending list.
Thoughts: The way trending formula interacts with content warnings actively discourages accessibility by creating a situation where reach and accessibility considerations are at odds.
If Mastodon's various user interfaces won't constantly advertise groups after Mastodon has introduced them, nobody will use them; CW: long (almost 1,800 characters), Fediverse meta, Fediverse-beyond-Mastodon meta
I think I need to enact similar posting and boosting guidelines as @theresmiling.(thanks for sharing them 
)

Thinking about how many more posts I would boost if there was a button to cleanly CW-boost them. It's a lot.
On why I removed content warnings from my online blurbs (and where you can find them now)

I don't need CW; I'm finding filters sufficient.
It's a tough question. I strongly agree that engaging with the world we find ourselves in is our shared responsibility.
And yet: offensiveness is subjective. Why is it *obviously* appropriate to CW sex and violence, topics that not everyone wants or needs a warning for?
There's a difference between offense and damage. Framing the question as preferences, or what might offend, makes it easier to ignore the people who say lack of CW harms them. Just as framing masking as a courtesy makes it easier to ignore the folks who say your exhalations might kill them.
When someone says "I need X to protect myself," a reply that sounds like "Y is perfectly adequate.. you shouldn't need X," strikes me as all kinds of wrong. It smacks of "Well, why don't you just.."
I expect I'll be inconsistent about my use of CW vs. tags. But I'm not going to be offended by being asked (either generally or directly) to put some stuff behind CWs.
Unfollowed some accounts. If you can’t use #ContentWarnings for obvious posts that need them then I won’t be following you. It’s fine to talk politics or whatever but stick it behind a CW. That’s the best feature of #Mastodon (oh and the second best is most of y’all use #AltText on images)
just passed 300 toots — probably time for another introduction
namely: polarising politics spoil enjoyment of tech. yes i get tech and FOSS tend to lean a certain direction. but please use #contentwarnings when you are blatantly partisan on topics nothing to do with tech; or subjectively so.
One of the best things about Mastodon is the #ContentWarnings and y’all are stopping using them and so I’m seeing all sorts of things (that damn picture of you know who doing the you know what is every other post!) that should be behind a CW.
I'm discussing #ContentWarnings with @Robin. There's so much misinformation out there. It occurred to me that some authors seem to think that content warnings are supposed to be like:
This story is a whodunnit. A murder happens on page 54 when Professor Plum kills Miss Scarlet with a rope in the ballroom.
Why I think using #filters and #blocking on the user level is far more effective than #contentWarnings.
