This is your regular reminder to use CW for politics, violence, and nsfw content in general. Let's make Mastodon a safer place than the trash social media out there.

Insisting on CWs limits or destroys the effectiveness of the outrage bots and other bad actors. It doesn't limit what you can post or discuss. It just puts a damper on Doom scrolling.

So if you're posting something that upset you, CW it. If you're boosting something that upset you, make a new post with a link to the content and CW it, or quote-boost and add a CW.

I'm personally less concerned about sexy stuff due to general disinterest, but this applies to that too, I suppose. It being behind a CW will make a lotta folks feel safer, so do that.

I mean, unless turning Mastodon into Bluesky and Twitter is your goal. In which case, carry on, I guess.

(If you agree, please boost for visibility.)
