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
the people blocking me at this point likely don't even remember the story they were told about why i should've been blocked
i have been treated like shit by the mastodon at large since 2017 and i am done feeling bad about it
if you think our #plural system making accounts elsewhere is ban evading that is your own fucking problem
i have been informed Motorola does have a phone with a pen and that i can now safely feel like i wasted my money on this current phone
