I’m not gonna tell people to CW things. Know why?

It’s tone policing.
It’s attempting to control a conversation I don’t want to participate in.
Telling strangers or even my followers what to do is not effective, I have found.

You know what is effective?

Dealing with it myself.

I can mute your boosts or I can mute you. In the extreme case, I can block you. And I don’t have to make a shitshow about it.

At the end of the day, you know who is responsible for what appears on my feed?

Me.

I am responsible for who I follow, and what I choose to see.

If you are clogging my feed with things I don’t want to see, telling you to CW or not to boost things without one is going to work. My own experience has demonstrated this, time and time again.

@Elizafox thanks for writing this. this seems to be an important fallout of "no algorithmic feed", a good tweak in user attitude towards platforms. also, the choice of words - responsibility instead of control - 🕭
