i'm not sure how i'm going to do CWs still, exactly. it's a little awkward that there's no way to opt into porn without disabling them entirely, so there is *always* friction on them

and a whole account of "cw: nsfw, rubber" is a little, uh, opaque, also

i do like that you can mark an image sensitive without adding a cw, which essentially allows the entire post to be a cw. but that only works if the post text itself isn't very explicit

what is even too explicit for text? i don't know??

does anyone have any genius ideas here

@squishfox We'll be honest we don't really like Mastodon's culture of "all or nothing" around CWs. We've been cw'ing stuff like politics or talk about the fires on Twitter, but sometimes it's felt like everything potentially discordant or differing in worldview has to be cw'd, which feels stifling!

That said, kink art is a tricky, but different issue.
