If you’re new to Mastodon, you may at some point find that you’re being pressured to put your posts behind a content warning (CW). Although CWs make sense for things like images of violence or nudity, some people are bullying others to put CWs on discussions of politics, racism, etc.
Please know that you should not feel pressured to obey these individuals. They do not speak for all. If someone does not want to be exposed to these topics, Mastodon gives them all the tools they need to avoid them, such as keyword filters and the ability to block or mute people who are posting things they don’t like.

back in april 2017 i absolutely drank the mastodon koolaid and i paid the price for stepping out of line once. done with playing nice tbh

"some of us just want to live and don't want to inadvertently be part of someone's polycule. i'm sorry if it sounds like i'm exaggerating but i'm not. this kind of toxic culty shit is everywhere now."

anon-quoting someone else on twitter to make their words my own:

"if the internet is headed in the direction where if you're a queer trans person with blue hair you have to post in a place where people will scream at you for not putting content warnings on a post about eating food because nowhere else is "safe" then this sucks, i'm sorry"

watching people flee from twitter into mastodon ever since april of 2017 over and over again is like watching wily e. coyote run into the same wall with a tunnel painted on it every single time and it's fucking endearing

i really wish people would put out a call out there for instance admins to unblock computerfairi.es.

elekk ran a smear campaign against me and got everybody in this instance cut off from a lot of the fediverse in the process.

i no longer run computer fairies. block me, not the whole instance.

cant tell if federation bullshit is afoot, or if someone i used to follow here before being ousted from the fediverse now has me or my instance blocked.

think about the loudest voices in this network and how they got to be the loudest voices.

i'll tell you this: mastodon is a hell of a welcoming place when PoC on twitter have been talking about for a whole month how it has a whiteness problem and i, as a latina mentally ill person, have been ousted from running my own public instance two years ago

that's all I want you to internalize and think about. not the pointing of fingers, but the fact about who is here and who refuses to be.
