What made you think that I wouldn’t check what you were doing on your iPad when you were sitting on the couch with it and a blanket over your head?!

I've been on Mastodon now for about three or four days and I don't know if I'm worried about the eternal September coming one day or if I'm worried that I'm the start of it?

In fact I think that's where a lot of problems come from period. "But I don't understand why you don't want to see this" is the brainspace behind everything from dick pics to concern trolling and everything between.

I guess where I've landed on it is the most basic view though - any sense of unease about CW is being uneasy with the idea that someone who doesn't want to see what you've written, won't. Inversely you'd prefer people who don't want to see what you've written to see it. That seems toxic and abusive. It doesn't really matter beyond that, you'd be forcing someone to read you and that's where a lot of Twitter's problems come from in one form or another.

I was initially sceptical about CW but had decided to just play along because those are the rules here. Lots of my sense of unease came from some things suggested to have CW's, religion, parenting are things that are part of life and warning people seemed like an admission I wasn't prepared to make that those things are wrong in some way and people need protection from them.

Me: *buttering toast* “See? I did that really quick!”

Official from Guinness Book I’ve manacled to the wall: “That is also something that someone else did way quicker. Please let me go.”

Whimsical bots are so hot right now
