in reply to Eniko Fox • • •I think about 1/3 of the crap that makes it through my filters is bare screenshots. Unfortunately people who don’t put alt text on images are also unlikely to use content warnings.
So most such images earn a block from me.

I feel like a lot of people who complain about using CWs don't get the point of them VS filters. The way I use them, I use CWs for things that would annoy or upset most people like spoilers for a movie or TV series, or discussions of politics or spiders or whatever. And as convenient way to shorten long posts too.
But I also use filters because I have a couple of specific topics that I know I have issues with, that aren't things many people would think of putting a CW on. And sometimes I use hashtags when I want a post to be responded to or discoverable.
Filters aren't a replacement for CWs, nor should they be. Same goes for hashtags. They're not intended to fulfil the same functions. And in the time it takes to type 10+ hashtags, one could simply put in a CW.

in reply to Eniko Fox • •@Eniko Fox When people fail to use content filters, I just set all their posts to auto-collapse (essentially CW-ing everything they post).
I don't know if Mastodon supports this and it's still somewhat of a game of whack-a-mole, but it's the best solution I've found thus far.
