       Real talk: all these constant Content Warnings bug me. And people who keep asking for them bug me. It’s irritating seeing them constantly for random stuff.By all means use them for things that are in some way terrible but it feels like we’re being forced to put things under a CW just because some people will get their knickers in a twist over what someone said.Alt text reminders I get but the CW for an ever growing list…annoying.

       @gamingonlinux nobody's forcing you to do anything, just be considerate.

       @mikebabcock be considerate of what? What should absolutely be behind a CW? Why are so many people doing it constantly for all manner of topics?

       @gamingonlinux @mikebabcock I've been seeing it used as a subject line equivalent of emails. It tells you what the post will be about and you can decide if you want to read it or not. Not everyone uses hashtags, but they can describe the topic their post is about. It's definitely a slightly different way of interacting, and It's nice that you have a more granular filter of what you want to see

       @Wizkid_alex @mikebabcock ah, see now that’s interesting and something I simply hadn’t thought about - thanks for giving your thoughts 👌

       @gamingonlinux @Wizkid_alex @mikebabcock On some non-mastodon instances CWs are actually named "subject"... which is a much better term for itfor example, you wouldn't want a 1000 character rant from me about the "scourge of Brixham seaguls" filling up your feed, but if I gave it a subject it could happily sit there and those interested could read it.It's not always about warnings, basically 😂

       @gamingonlinux Why let it bother you that much? I don't mind if you block me for this, but from following you since more or less I started on mastodon, you do seem to let yourself get riled up about all sorts of things. Some are things that would piss anyone off, some are maybe less important?Don't wear yourself out man, it's OK to let some stuff just wash over you!
