@natanji @tipsytentacle
I'm sorry what is a content warning? Can you share a guide or something?
@kavbojka It's a Mastodon feature. You can press on the "CW" button when composing a toot in the web interface (might be different in apps) to add a short text describing the content of your toot. Toot content will then only be shown when people choose to click on description text. Thereby people can choose if they wanna see the content or not.
@natanji
Thank you for calling that feature out to me. I wasn't aware!

Also, I know there is a lot of well meaning people here, but honestly, this "suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" advice shit is
NOT
ACTUALLY
HELPFUL
for sooo many people who seriously consider suicide.
Who are you to tell people you literally don't know, who have been feeling depressed and suicidal for *years*, that their problems are only temporary? When they've tried everything and shit just doesn't get better?
It's more complicated.
