Help me out here guys. I know things get people upset, including politics... but at what point do I need to put anything that can get anyone upset behind a content warning? NSFW stuff, things that can cause epilepsy, sure... but conversation about politics? Feels extreme to me. Let's talk about this. Why should people use a CW for it? Why shouldn't they?
@shivian I put my politic rant behind CW just because I was sharing fully public. In the stream of Local/Federated I figured it would be considerate.
@themizarkshow why is that rant considered considerate / necessary and other content that might upset someone treated differently? or do you treat all content that might upset someone with the same CW tag?
@shivian I would use the CW if I thought what I was saying could offend someone. Perhaps more importantly, it keeps any direct responses as CW too, which is where the hope of being considerate mostly stems from. If someone wants to argue or be inflammatory, then it's at least behind the blur.
@shivian I just checked again and although it defaults to CW when responding to that content you can turn it off (which kinda sucks maybe?) ...but that was my thought at the time.
