On the new Mastodon Content Warning design 

@Siph @packetcat eh, i think you’re imagining user behaviour which doesn’t really exist here. the meme is “sees content warning, goes ‘that sounds terrible’, clicks it anyway, i don’t know what i expected”, not “doesn’t bother keeping up with friends because they don’t share the same interests than me”. if your avatar next to the post isn’t enough to get your friends to click “show more”, find better friends. nobody only opens CWs which match their existing interests and leaves all the other ones closed

the same as you wouldn’t ignore an email from a friend that has a subject line of “bulbasaur” just because your starter was charmander. it’s still an email from your friend!! you’re still going to open it!!

you can’t just baldfacedly lie about video games anymore

@coriander one reviewer was like “i got a cool Guy and then none of the enemies required me to use That Specific Guy! what a waste!”

@coriander ironically like half of the reviews were like “i think the combat should have been more puzzley” so maybe they struck an ok balance

give me a playlist of music released between 1996 and 2008

re: about content warnings 

@akjcv yeah i mean “X traumatized me = X is bad” is the classic setup to “but i’m a good person, therefore i can’t have abused anyone”

re: about content warnings 

@akjcv like going back to the root, saying that people who say“this triggers my ptsd” are actually saying “this thing is bad” is such an evil trivialization and dismissal of trauma

re: about content warnings 

@akjcv do these people not understand what cw’s were invented for or??

on a cohost retrospective one quote which stuck out to me was “it was the only website i’ve been on where it felt like no matter what i posted, somebody would read it” and i’m sorry your internet experience has been so impoverished

if you had a small group of friends with ssh access to a cheap server you could make a simple forum with just a bit of shell scripting and it would be better than 90% of social media
