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"

if you think our system making accounts elsewhere is ban evading that is your own fucking problem

"you have a system responsibility not to ban evade" ma'am when half the fediverse i've never spoken to was told to block me by a bad actor, and half those people blocking me on this account are following me on an alt, the responsibility has left my paws
