Yeah that first wave are huge with using content warnings for the silliest of things.
[cw: food]
I ate a burrito
I've since disabled content warnings, because I think it gets in the way.. But then it fails the second and third waves, because they post childporn and sex ads..
So I've ended up blocking pawoo.net and switter.at
Which is kinda the problem on mastodon, there's nothing in between silly content warnings written by people that are offended by the slightest thing, and content warnings for childporn drawings
- Vinnl 8y agoI think the Content Warning thing is a different "problem". People in my timeline say they're using it in order to not clutter your timeline, i.e. you can quickly scan the headline ("I ate a burrito") to determine whether you want to read the rest. Ironically, that might be because Mastodon allows longer posts :P Perhaps they'd need to implement a summary tag or something, so that people can configure their clients to only show the summaries for those who want to, and allows you to always expand them and still hide everything behind a CW.
- wild_preference 8y agoThen it sounds like an option that should exist when reading your feed rather than something that requires the action of each individual person per tweet.
- intothemild 8y agoYes there needs to be a global "disable all CW/Spoilers/ETC"
