Linking in a non-triggering way
Is this a thing? How can I avoid linking in a triggering way? What does it mean?
- jessaustin 9y agoI'm not sure I completely understand it myself. I just know there are more and less courteous ways to discuss particular topics. When the topic of discussion is "harassment", one wouldn't refer to it in such a way that a reader or listener would be reminded of particular situations of harassment that they have experienced themselves. The link in question was about the experience of the neurodiverse with the speech police rather than about harassment per se, but it's possible that some readers might have leaped to that topic, had the tweet been something like, "Let's end speech codes so harassing harassers can harass harassment victims without getting hassled by the man!" Whoops I probably just triggered someone...
- coldtea 9y agoObviously by not accompanying the link with an offensive comment. Links are not just the a href="xxx" part.
- pluma 9y agoI think it's in the new HTML spec: rel="notriggering"
