"my burning heart of a hater" - one of the worst things about mastodon user culture is their willingness to just heavily overuse content warnings even when not talking about explicitly upsetting content, like. using a content warning as a label instead of using a tag. and it just feels like a platform where users would rather preemptively hide their posts, than imagine someone reading it and being annoyed. it makes people look like an uwu baby who crumples the moment they have to commit to saying something without an easy out

personally I think of the content warning feature as a helpful tool for labelling, tagging, and spoiler-ing. it's called the content warning box but it's closer to like, the label-equivalent of tumblr tags. you can do just about anything with it. people use it for punchlines and for hiding extremely long strings of text and stuff like that. it also solves the problem with twitter liveblog threads where you can just say the name of the thing and put the liveblog under the cut- nobody has to attempt to use a feature that doesn't exist (thread muting lol) to not look at your liveblog
