I feel like content warnings are fundamentally badly implemented on Mastodon.
People seem to use them to tag the category of a post, #politics, #meta, etc...
However, abusing a "spoiler" tag for that and hiding the content by default just makes reading your feed difficult.
Ideally people would be encouraged to use #hashtags to tag the content of posts.
The the clients would auto-hide/content warning posts based on what subjects the user does/doesn't want to see.
@ikyle cool idea; why not fork Mastodon and make it happen?
@ecsaln because it can be done purely with a front end client, rather than a server change.
Those posts are very similar to how I intend to do my iOS app.
@ikyle look forward to seeing it.
@ikyle also, I mean; you literally blamed "Mastodon", so backtracking and redirecting the blame onto a straw-man "mastodon client" to try and make me look stupid when I call you out is - frankly - bullshit.
@ikyle "Mastodon is wrong; I can do it better"
"If you don't like Mastodon, then fork it"
"I don't need to fork it, I'll just make a new client"
"If you don't need to fork it, then don't badmouth the project?"
"I wasn't bad mouthing the project"
"You were literally badmouthing the project by name"
