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...
