Gregory's Server@a13cui @PattyHanson @lowqualityfacts I think that’s true but, since other people don’t, it is indeed - in effect - all a bit weird.

 @a13cui @juneussell @lowqualityfacts As a user, I'm glad we have the option & I'm the sort who will open every post that has a warning. I'm not easily offended & I want to see what other people think may be offensive, either in words or pictures. As soon as this conversation thread started someone posted a photo of a woman who was nude from the waist up. The warning included nudity. When you open a post with a warning it's a "buyer beware" situation. How the warning is labeled is important @PattyHanson @a13cui @lowqualityfacts Yes, I’m glad of the option, but less sure of when I should use a label myself, or what for. I’d certainly use it for anything that *I* thought might be offensive, but I can’t always understand/second-guess what others feel. |
@juneussell @PattyHanson @lowqualityfacts arguably, replacing "content warning" with "subject" would on the one hand encourage more people to actually use them, but on the other hand people won't treat them as content warnings anymore. it's a double edged sword
