I had high hopes when I first came to Mastodon. But the majority of conversation has already turned to censorship and Content Warnings. That doesn't bode well for this as a real alternative to mainstream social media.
Cool platform. So much potential. But likely not for me. Enjoy all!
@Jonesing Campaining for people to do things you want is off putting however. I wish the actual rules were simply enforced by administrators and the report function used.
@oyasumi That seems reasonable. I'm in no way lookung for an environment of trolls and harrassment. But asking people to click and type a tag to accommodate individual content preference seems a bit backward and ultimately ineffective.
@Jonesing It is backwards, if I had an issue with certain content yet wanted to participate in a fundamentally OPEN social website I wouldn't force others to format a broad range of posts with content warnings.
Tumblr has a tag blocking thing I'm pretty sure? If I had an issue it'd be my responsibility to block individuals and tags I don't want to see. If that's not enough there's literal safe area instances.
