cw politics, leaving mastodon, filter bubble, suicide Afficher plus

i know this is extreme but I'm very strongly considering to leave mastodon over the cw issues. that sucks for me because it was that masto was the only social media i felt ok using. but i cant trust my mostly white euroqueer filter bubble after this. i see peope who demand cw of politics of minoroties or trump news but argue they shouldnt have to hide their grief when they suffer...

suicide is a topic that for me causes severe reaction. 1/?

@eribloodlust just to clarify: I'm not arguing that "people shouldn't have to hide their grief". I'm arguing that the CW feature makes _some_ ppl "feel like they have to hide their grief" which probably is the reason for why they didn't use it. that's not condoning their not using it.
that's just trying to analyze what happened - maybe in order to find out what can be done so this doesn't have to happen next time.

@distelfliege @eribloodlust a lot of the posts I saw without CWs were quoting telephone numbers of suicide prevention hotlines which in this case I think is tolerable.

I know with politics my own use is inconsistent, and becomes more so if I happen to be replying in German as I'm concentrating on trying to not make so many mistakes, also (cultural thing?) DE folk seem to use CWs a lot less than FR or EN...

@vfrmedia @eribloodlust
hm. I have to disagree, I would include suicide prevention help in the content that should have a CW. if it's the topic thats triggering then ppl can also click to see the numbers/advice if they need them.

@distelfliege @eribloodlust This is a grey area, as both clear and CW posts were sent and folk thought with good intentions that they don't want to put a barrier between seeing the numbers.

Messages from real life environment are also mixed. Here in UK when I cycle to work and have to stop at the railway level crossing, there is now a prominent sign attached for the Samaritans helpline, which has been around for a few years now (since 2008/9)
