Using CWs can be tricky. There's no mandate, but users often request that toots are placed behind content warnings when they revolve around the topics below:

• Current Events
• Politics
• Violence / Abuse
• Guns / Weapons
• Sexism / Racism / Hatred / Bigotry

Boost this toot if you like it :repeat:, and reply with suggestions! Thanks everyone, love you! :heart:

boost this toot if capitalism is garbage

I've always had a bit of a hands off stance towards social media. I tend to lurk rather than interact.

Mastodon feels strange to me because my dipping of a toe into the stream actually results in feedback. More used to speaking into the void. Part of the newness of the system, I think, plus matters of scale.

CWs aren't "censorship" or putting your toots behind some kinda wall, they're basically equivalent to lowering your voice so only the intended people can hear you in this crowded bar, as you talk about stuff that's potentially upsetting, TMI, or whatever.

People don't want CWs on "politics" (which really means "the news") because they're oversensitive and afraid of seeing the news, they read they news, they just don't want it to be a 24-hour punditry vortex in here.

WHAT THEY EXPECTED: a VC backed startup intending to destroy twitter
WHAT THEY GOT: a bunch of cyberpunk kids hanging out behind the mall

For those who dont know, the federated timeline displays all the activity from all the people on other instances who are followed by people on your instance.

--
It is therefore very good practice to follow as many interesting people from other instances as possible. We are the ropes binding this distributed system together.
