@stereo absolutely it was super ham-fisted. but they had a cool concept i don't think anyone else has tried since
re: social network discourse
@shoofle i kinda miss google+ circles
@andrewt i want one that all it does is make a confetti explosion on your screen and nothing else
my thought is that right now it's all or nothing in terms of when you use a "CW" your post will be hidden
if instead people can choose that only certain topics are default hidden and the rest aren't, then there's a lot less "but i don't want to hide this" stigma against using a subject line
not sure if this has been thought about before or if some other flavour of activitypub does it this way but i wonder if "CW"s would be better utilised if they were treated as email subject line and only defaulted to closed if a word in your custom blacklist appeared on it
i think that would push people to describe the content of posts much more if they're not implied to be opt-in, though this would also need a defacto "standardisation" of subjects, for example "uspol" vs "us politics"

can any #flossbros #fossbros out there explain to me how a user is supposed to document a system they're trying to find documentation on in the first place
it's a little disheartening when all of your friends agreeing to "i miss [old thing]" isn't followed by all of your friends moving to use the version of [old thing] that is still widely available because the status quo of large corporations running our online lives for us is so impossible to break away from
