CW: **On Content Warnings and Spoilers. And why everyone should use them more often**
I take content warnings and spoilers very seriously. I think they protect the user themselves, and not just the users around them. I've had many times where I vented about something traumatic, or said some bad news, only for my eyes to slightly go up and read that all over again. So by having spoilers, I was able to protect myself from re-reading sensitive content.
The key thing about content/trigger warnings I think is “Readiness”. Yes, sure, it is to protect some folks from being triggered by the content due to having bad past experiences with it. But I also think that it's there to give users a choice, do you want to read something that might upset you or not? Like you might not have any bad past experiences with X, Y, and Z, but what if you just woke up, and the first thing you were greeted with was a bad case of X, Y, or Z? Or if you expected to see a wholesome chat room with kitty cuddles and meows only to see unspoilered sensitive content. That surprise, that shock, I don't like that.
Here's a post on how to spoiler things on Matrix chatting clients, and the last two sections cover the internet in general.

CW: CW: Meta-CW, sweary (for me)
People who refuse to #CW when posting about politics or #traumadumping are the #fediverse's equivalent of obnoxious BMW drivers who never use their turn signal.
Yes, you. YOU SUCK. You are literally making people's lives worse because you think your wholly unfettered self-expression is more important than anyone else's mental health.

Finally got around to doing a cord cutting for my step family, it's been a long time coming but I kept putting it off due to insecurity. Ended up being rather underwhelming, which is equal parts amusing as it is disappointing. Oh well, out with bad trash, in with whatever's next.

Today, I shared something on my writer profile on Instagram with reference to World Mental Health Day. This lead someone to comment publicly about their own problems - and then they kept talking about these, but only hinting at them. I am not sure if they hoped for me to ask about those problems and start a conversation - which I didn't.
This reminded me of a term I learned only recently, "trauma dumping". Here is a good article about that:

CW: sex work
#NicheSupportGroup idea: people who support sex workers, but who were also emotionally traumatized by doing #sexwork and don't have anyone to talk to about it.
Unfortunately we need to play this support group on hard mode: no one in the group is allowed to have sex with anyone else in the group.

Fascinating article about words we #editors may need to look at more closely:

In 2023, let's stop the #traumadumping
Venting involves consent. Trauma dumping is a boundary cross.
