@gamingonlinux nobody's forcing you to do anything, just be considerate.

@gamingonlinux @mikebabcock I've been seeing it used as a subject line equivalent of emails. It tells you what the post will be about and you can decide if you want to read it or not. Not everyone uses hashtags, but they can describe the topic their post is about. It's definitely a slightly different way of interacting, and It's nice that you have a more granular filter of what you want to see  @Wizkid_alex @mikebabcock ah, see now thatโs interesting and something I simply hadnโt thought about - thanks for giving your thoughts ๐  @gamingonlinux @Wizkid_alex @mikebabcock fun fact: Mastodon actually users the Subject field of ActivityPub objects for its CW. An example of CW used not for sensitive stuff, but to reduce the impact of long threads in timelines is the way @pluralistic does it. @gamingonlinux @mikebabcock Ignoring the obviously terrible things not everyone's going to want to see, I also use CWs for posts that are unrelated to the main reasons why people would follow me. But that's how I use it, I certainly don't push others to use CWs how I do. |
@mikebabcock be considerate of what? What should absolutely be behind a CW? Why are so many people doing it constantly for all manner of topics?
