@boots and even if they don't, you can actually hide the image without having to scroll until it's off-screen!

sure, it doesn't work if someone's intentionally not tagging their stuff, but like
for twitter, it doesn't even work if someone wants to tag their stuff!!! why!!!
(and besides that's why it should be **ALWAYS BANNABLE** to not tag your nsfw)

also twitter's sensitive content ui is God Awful last i checked and makes it way harder to just view something on your timeline than it should be where mastodon's just *makes sense*

the nice thing about mastodon compared to birdsite that i never see anyone talk about: you can probably actually browse it in public, even if you follow people who post lewd stuff sometimes

because birdsite's approach to nsfw is just "here let us decide for you based on a shitty algorithm, or you can decide if your entire account is Sensitive (no per-post) and also if you want to view Everything Sensitive Ever"

mastodon is just "you know what you're doing, tag your stuff."

@masklayer i dont see why mastodon wouldnt be safe to browse at work as long as nobody's posting untagged nsfw which is against the law and will get them arrested by their computer

"i have put...way too much time and thought into making one robot pet another" -- me, 2017

you say tomato i say what tomato i dont see any why did you just say tomato out of the blue is there a spec

it's weird going on twitter after mastodon and just realizing you can't make a private post on your public acount

@Elizafox @twitter@mastodon.technology what if they're actually twitter and they're just hiding in plain sight 🤔

i mean what do you expect from a company partnered with a company called "Dataminr"
i'm not joking, go look it up.

@Elizafox they revealed that they were collecting literally all of your data

by the way
>> ~TWITTER WAS ALWAYS COLLECTING THIS~ <<
>> IT'S JUST TELLING YOU NOW <<
> PROBABLY BECAUSE IT HAS TO <

here's some of the stuff i don't get to see but know exists:

* What credit card company you use
* Political party affiliation
* Your education level
* Net worth
* If you own a home or rent
* If you're married

@typhlosion twitter knows everything about you
it just isn't very well organized and is getting it jumbled with other people's data

oh also by the way people with twitter analytics can see a general averaged list of all this data for all of their followers

what this data does not include that twitter is telling accounts the average of:
* How much income you make
* "Consumer behavior"
* Your mobile network
* What TV genres you watch
* What your home is valued at
* Your lifestyle choices (though it's always been "online buyers" for me so...)
