LB: I hate to be a jerk but... yeah... you know?
Tech is my hobby and on and off job and asking me to CW that is utterly ridiculous tbh
It's like, half of what I post is tech shit
I just advise you not follow if you don't like tech posts tbh
fwiw it's gotten so bad with the tags I literally just ignore half the posts on here
Although I'd like to see more pol tags my solution for that is to just mute people who don't do that, because I can't change other people, but I can change who I listen to
Perhaps others should think about that more...
I don't want to become acclimatised to clicking through it like I was so now I do the opposite: I literally try not to click through things.
I think @kaniini was onto something when he mentioned adding summaries by keyword or something like that
Of course that means people will try to game the system because they're dick and insist on shoving their politics down your throat whether you want it or not. But those people can be handled with... just muting or blocking them.
@Elizafox maybe that’s the thing, that how we do CWs is good but... rudimentary. it’s inverted: we expect users to use CWs in anticipation of the needs of others, but those needs conflict and vary so that a user can’t seriously accommodate everyone. i wonder about allowing users to create rules which apply CWs to others’ content (even if only in their own UI) in order to give folks some less inverted control.
@Elizafox like, i’m right there with you. i hate seeing untagged pol, but what pol *is* is itself a political subject. i talk about tech so much that i tend not to CW it out of a sense of mundanity, but i recognize that untagged tech can give some folks bad feels. i feel like a better solution is possible.
(god especially rn with this border shit I am so sick of seeing that)
