  1. Advice about #TriggerWarnings/content warnings:

    1. Don't just write "Trigger Warning" at the top of your post, skip a line or two, and then put the thing. Instead, use the CW feature built into Mastodon. Below the text entry field, there's a row of icons, usually starting with a paper clip and then a globe. Somewhere in there, there should be one like a little "CW" or an exclamation point.

    That hides the scary stuff unless someone deliberately opens it.

  2. Instead of just hitting boost, think about if the thing you're boosting is accessible.

    Does it need alt text? A CW?

    If so, post the content with those things - sure, it takes longer than smashing the boost button, but accessibility matters.

  3. Bring back CWs. For US politics at least.

    My anxiety level cannot take that face or the constant worry about fascism.

    Thanks.

  4. @crcarlin totally! as an example, I refer to #CW as #ContentWrappers instead of warnings. I don’t remember who suggested that… I’d like to credit them!

  5. CW: Please put a CW on flashing strobes

    @alanschenkel
    Alan there has been a lot of debate about #contentwrappers aka #contentwarnings but I don't think there is any lack of consensus that a flashing strobe should be behind a conent warning. You're on med-mastonon so I think you will figure out why.

    You can however "edit" and not delete the toot.

    Thank you .

  6. @firefoxx66 I'm thinking the last 4 are equally applicable here but the first needs reconsideration.

    Possibly if replace it with:

    1, use #contentWarnings (aka #contentWrappers) and #hastags generously.

  7. CW: Build a good, high volume, air purifier < 1 hour < 70

    @unicorndeburgh

    Actually I started making these in March 2020 using furnace filters but sure it is nice to get the good ones that are back ordered.

    Point of process: BTW large graphics are nicer when under a #CW which we call #contentwrappers not #contentwarning - they don't clog the timeline like those big #JPEG and #PNG
    files.

    Hashtags: #covid #stopcovid #covidisairborne #covidisairborn #sars #ventilation #pandemic #infectioncontrol

  8. CW: HACK for a better timeline; CW's; those huge images...

    @kcarruthers That said, K Carruthers provides an elegant timeline showing how #contentwrappers can be used as headlines. Personally, I wish more people would use them especially when posting large images.

    There is a check box in control panel that afaik will reduce their size but I won't do that because then I have no way of knowing which pictures I can boost without jamming up the timeline of my followers.

  9. I really love the CW option on here! It gives us a choice, and combined with the lack of incessant advertising, makes this a lovely place to be. May that never change!

  10. CW: CWs, ableism, queerphobia, racism (thread)

    @lindsey I’m of the loosely-held opinion that the underlying phenomenon making #ContentWrappers polemical is the distinction between *perceived #fragility vs actual fragility* resulting from #trauma or #disability.

    We’re always gonna be dealing with the psychoses of other users. Being #conscious of that is a #cognitive load when dialoguing about anything.

    Being a good #human matters.

  11. @barongreenbacks @mikegalsworthy thanks for this - do you know how to wrap a boost..? Or even quote one as per previous place? The “booster” button has no interim options or am I missing something? #ContentWrappers #contentwarning

  12. @justinwilkins well said. I have also seen these described as #ContentWrappers not necessarily #ContentWarnings, simply a way to quickly categorize content when scrolling. They do not limit anyone’s freedom of expression, far from it.
