A little bit of a rant about Mastodon etiquette 

Some things that bug me about how people use Mastodon:

1) Please don't overuse CWs. They're not intended for categorising toots or hiding crossposts. It becomes a pain to use Masto when every other toot is behind an unnecessary CW.

2) Make CWs verbose. If I can't understand what it's meant to mean, it fails to serve as a warning.

3) That's literally it actually.

A little bit of a rant about Mastodon etiquette 

For context, eight of the last ten toots on my timeline were behind CWs.

None of them contained anything likely to require a CW (mostly talking about non-spoiler video game stuff and meta discussion about Mastodon itself.)
