I've just enabled "Always expand posts marked with content warnings". I'm seeing to many things hidden that shouldn't be (eg: a cute dog marked as sensitive). Will be interesting to see if this backfires.
@Aslanmane I went and blocked a few whole instances that were porn related that popped up in the Federated feed. Now I'm not afraid of opening it at work.
@Aslanmane It’s an interesting one. On this instance I have had no concern about CW’s, having said that I have had no need to use them myself either. On another instance which I am part of though, I have used them, and can identify equally a use for them. I think that is largely due to the type of content available from one instance to the next. That said, this instance is open to religious content obviously given the type of server that it is. The other server I am on is not necessarily against such content, but they prefer, or at least I feel that they would prefer a CW if I am posting religious material.
@Mklt129 yeah, I've found people CW Christian stuff on the grounds it's Christian, interesting.
I go by the community guidelines on the instances I'm posting on. Which has the side effect of censoring myself on homosexuality and transgenderism.
You're braver than me, amigo. XD
Also, people who put Sensitive Media flags on totally banal pictures for no reason other than to make people click on them are ASSHOLES. >:(
That's not what that feature's for.
contains CW posts, so it should be CW'd I guess?
@RL_Dane @Big_Diggity @rose_myrtle
No complaints yet. Thus far it's expanded the following which were hidden. IMHO I'd only consider 4. as a candidate for a CW.
----
1. "Don't use Brave. Don''t trust people who tell you to use it either."
2. "There's no getting around it, pride is a sin."
3. "Wow, that was close! Cool checker pattern tho."
4. "I've only ever served in states where clergy are mandated reporters."

@Aslanmane @Big_Diggity @rose_myrtle
"clergy are mandated reporters?" What does that mean?
Also, the reason for my frustration is that when people abuse a function, they make it meaningless.
There *is* a lot of trash on Fedi, especially on pixelfed. I really don't want to see it.
re: contains CW posts, so it should be CW'd I guess?
@RL_Dane @Big_Diggity @rose_myrtle yeah I get that. I've come to realise that being overly sensitive with rules (eg:content warnings) makes them meaningless. "The boy who cried wolf".
A mandatory reporter means the person is legally obligated to report suspect abuse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandated_reporter

@Aslanmane @Big_Diggity @rose_myrtle
Ah, I see what you mean.
@Aslanmane @RL_Dane @Big_Diggity wait - all of those posts are *replies*, which inherit a CW from the original unless you twig that it's doing that and turn it off (app may not show the inherited cw).
the CWs on those were most likely all related to the post they were replying to
@rose_myrtle @RL_Dane @Big_Diggity FWIW 4. was a reply 1.-3. weren't. I removed the links for the purpose of compiling in a list, (for 1. & 3.) so that probably makes them look like replies.
1. had a link that decried the politics of the Brave founder and 3. had a wordle link.
@Aslanmane @RL_Dane @Big_Diggity Ah - my bad.
hmm...
