[🟥🟧🟨🟩🟦🟪]

A creative-minded individual fascinated with the fictitious, and it's power to uplift, inspire, and affect the souls of those around us! (Escapism is incredible, y'all.) Working on a variety of silly little things, all of which involve a handful of fictional worlds I've been attached to and obsessed with developing since my earliest days in this (slightly more doldrum) reality of ours.

Hoping to bring a bit of happiness to the world through what I can do. [💙]

Overly chatty (if this description wasn't any clue), but also a little bit shy. Dealing with a handful of neurodivergencies and mental illnesses, but otherwise trying his best. It's a long story, and a longer character arc, but it's also been an adventure. Maybe I'll overshare talk about it with you some distant day. Also apparently has some weird affinity with the moon...? [🌕]

Let's get along, yeah? I hope you like what you see from me, and that I make your days a little (or perhaps even a lot) brighter and tolerable!

A proposal, now that tag muffles are out

I'm really excited that cohost has tag muffles now (go read about it if you haven't seen yet!), and I think this is a great chance for us to establish an important new cultural norm.

Up until now, if you wanted to hide a post that might bother someone, the thing to do has been to CW it to hide it by default. With tag muffles, users now have the ability to preemptively protect themselves: as long as you tag something properly, users can decide for themselves if they want it hidden or not. CWs are still useful for content you think you should be hidden by default for all users, but I'd encourage everyone to think about using tags as way to let people choose what they do or don't want to see going forward.

I'm not... entirely sure, but my use case is kinda odd in that I don't use tags at all (reading or writing) because I don't want to be readily seen by people who don't already follow me/don't want to see posts from people I don't follow (rechosts notwithstanding). Part of me wants to say that the content warning filtering settings already exist and this feature is sharing the same space as that, so now people who want to be sure to block a thing have to set it in both places?

This is where I'm at too. I rarely want to take active steps to make my posts discoverable to people who don't follow me, and sometimes I positive do not want to put a post in a tag that people who are interested in that topic are likely to read. I'd much prefer to keep muffling and tagging-for-discovery as separate systems, but it seems like that ship has sailed. But I do think it would be better to have distinct conventions for discoverability-tags (e.g. '#cats') and mufflability-tags (e.g. '#cats warning').

People would need to also get in the habit of applying tags manually on shares since sharing strips the tags it appears, which renders quick shares pretty useless because it shares with no tags.
