i would like the people who are like "who needs content warnings just opt out using filters" to know that i am now on my 7th spelling of "us politics" for my filters
I don't know, but to avoid that explore tab, I switched to tusky. I know, I could've customised something but sometimes it's just better to use simple methods. FYI, I'm not American, so I don't exactly want to see those posts anyway and neither I would be able to get the context behind them.
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.
People really need to stop cleverly misnaming things to avoid "the filter" since the only filter here is people trying to not participate in some convos.
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.
i would like the people who are like "who needs content warnings just opt out using filters" to know that i block anyone who says this on sight, and I am very influential

So most such images earn a block from me.

Where are the choices made, and who is best equipped to make them?

in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now! • •@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.
