Content wrappers/warnings are a good thing for posts going into grisly detail about news stories.
Thanks to the people who use these.
And if you still aren't, it's that CW button at the bottom of the window where you write posts.
#ContentWarning #ContentWrapper
The #TwitterMigration seems to have seriously dented the #ContentWarning (aka #ContentWrapper) culture. I still see them, but they are becoming very thin on the ground on both my home and federated timelines.
I do wish more people, especially the #Twitter refugees would use the #ContentWrapper. One of the things I hate about Twitter is you end up doomscrolling. The CW allows people to choose whether to read your rant/post or potentially triggering post. This is a nice place, let's keep it that way. Use the CW. #mastodon #triggers
@SpockResists There is no doubt you will find your people and be able to hold many rigorous and energetic discussions on Mastodon. And many of us do accept that #politics is an undercurrent to even the most mundane and everyday things. But here you need to be mindful of how often and how much other users want to engage with it on a daily basis. To disregard our #MentalHealth by pushing your views onto everyone whenever and wherever you want will not be appreciated across the board.
Imagine if you were comfortably gardening in your village home and reading the news a couple times a day, but a load of vehicles with loudspeakers have started rolling through daily, yelling that there are so many things in the world to be outraged about, and we need to be guilted into becoming loud and angry ourselves.
Is that not a little bit rude?
I do disagree with the "no politics" argument but I strongly feel that we do not need more Twitter style chaos and #trauma.
So friends, just use a #ContentWrapper and I'll be much more willing to boost your political posts to your benefit.
Now might be a good time to announce the formation of the Anti-Hall-Monitor Club on Mastodon. We pledge never to Abuse Report or use #ContentWrapper or block, unless it's crypto spam. During the beta phase of Mastodon's 2nd iteration (that's what this really is), we pledge never to use mute or block. Why?
Because we know how to scroll past.
@galacticstone Yes, please use the #ContentWrapper. I come here to get away from the worlds nastines.
@indubitablyodin Love the bit around the history and reasons behind the usage of #ContentWrapper .
@tomasekeli
I also like #ContentWrapper for #CW more than the Warning version! 🙂
i follow a lot of people who are, quite naturally, into a lot of things i'm not.
it's so nice when they put things behind #contentWarning or #contentWrapper (i like that name better) so i can chose not to read it.
i particularly enjoy people who put #sports behind them. i think those people are just great!
@conradhackett Would love a #CW on the above, not a #contentwarning but rather a #contentwrapper to serve as a headline as the large graphic takes up my entire screen.
But hey, I just devise a method of dealing with that on a #retoot ( #retweet ) manner. Like so...
That said, everyone should be aware of what the above graphic portrays too many #nuclear weapons on the plant and Russia, followed by the USA, accounts for the vast majority
#nonukes #stopnukes #nuclearproliferation #nuclearweapons
CW = Content Wrapper. This must be the best description I’ve heard. Much better than the official content warning. You should use these when you think others may not appreciate the content. Simple examples would be when talking about #politics, #religion, #vaccines or #pandemics #cw #ContentWrapper #ContentWarning
#WettenDass sollte ne #ContentWrapper Funktion für #Fußball haben 🙄
Janet you are free in Mastodon to change your settings to always expand posts with a Content Warning, but please respect that others on here may prefer to have a cleaner feed without being forced to view content they would rather not see.
@honey Hey isn't this kind of gore supposed to have a #contentwrapper on it??
