> minor inconvenience A few years ago the term “BIPOC” was the preferred woke term. Now we are in a stage where some people prefer it and some people don’t. And by “don’t prefer it” I mean they will call you a racist colonizer for using it. Social media is supposed to be fun. I as a user can’t and don’t want to imagine every possible way someone might be offended or triggered or excluded by everything I post. It’s upsetting to imagine something as simple as posting a picture with eye contact could be seen as intentionally causing harm. I’ll just post elsewhere where I know people won’t be offended. Like a Discord or Matrix instance of my friends. These Mastodon posts are going to be more content warnings than content if the current trends continue. > no one mentioned “liberalism” These ideas (and Mastodon itself) are heavily associated with progressive politics. Although I do think you are correct (in a horseshoe theory sense) that some conservatives would value the feature.
