@pan thank you for saying this, meep

@mallaidh
so much this.

we are only as strong as we are gentle with eachother, and sharing is caring only if it's properly CW'd.

If a triggering toot is massively boosted, it can make the fediverse toxic for marginalized/hurting people for *days*, which can severely impact their (cough, my, cough) ability to be online at all.

I frequently mute people who use CW text unethically, too.

Put the info behind a wall.
Let me choose.

@hoodieak
this is perfect, and I'm gonna use it excessively to esplain the concept to peebles.
@pan @mallaidh

@pan extreeeeeeeeeemely this, yeah. 💯%

@kitdarko for me it's mainly about just creating an environment where it's okay for people to fuck up as long as they don't double down/dig in heels/get defensive

and also working to create an environment where it's no big deal to just ask "hey could u tag food" or whatever

we just need to try to have a community that can just.. handle that without exploding, so folks with all kinds of triggers/needs can join in

ppl have the power to be understanding of eachother

@kitdarko like there's some sort of rough logic that you can use like, start with general stuff, and it doesn't hurt to stay educated on the kinds of systemic trauma that exist in the world, for starters

but everyone's always gonna be at different levels with that kind of learning yk? so yeah for me it's mostly about preparing our subsection of society here to be able to handle the negotiation / learning process

@pan thank you for taking the time to go into that much depth with kindness.

I really appreciate the help
