Church of Jeffjeffowski@mastodon.worldJun 16, 2026, 5:48 PM@fnord -- Why?
A block of text and a smiling 1 year-old is offensive?
Jun 16, 2026, 6:43 PM@jeffowski @fnord CW police are out in full force.
dominicbarometz@treehouse.systemsJun 16, 2026, 6:47 PM@venitamathias it's a request to be considerate, but comparing them to the people who murdered a one year old in the above post is somehow good and fine?

@barometz Considerate of what, to whom, and why? Does the post violate the instance TOS?

I CW on any IMAGE that depicts sexual or erotic nudity, blood/gore, and/or graphic violence.
These are things that are NSFW and not for "the kids" casually going by.
Other than that, I do not see the need to nerf the world for the adults.

@jeffowski @fnord Mastodon has a sanitize the world feel to it sometimes. Like living in lala Land.

I get the intention...
But it is misguided. I'm more concerned about using my platform to get this out and getting people pissed off so they do something about this shit.
If you're going to argue ethics, you have to look at the ramifications of all of your actions (and inactions) and who it harms and who benefits and how that shapes my goals.
Do I care more about the CW and people being pissed at me, or more about getting people pissed about this to change things?

@jeffowski @fnord Heard. Thanks for posting. I asked family in MS (they don't live in that tiny town) if they heard about the shooting and how the community responding?

Please share any information if you hear anything.

@jeffowski sure will.

Rupert ReynoldsRupertReynolds@hachyderm.ioJun 17, 2026, 9:12 PM@jeffowski @fnord Why? Because not everyone is in the same emotional place as you.
I'm in my 60s and generally as hard as nails, but it just happens I'm vulnerable today and I don't need to be both tearful and angry at the fucked-up world my children and grandchildren will be living in, when it's after 10pm and I'm on my way to bed to be up at 6am to do a job that directly affects public safety. Being angry and sleepless is not really an option, see?
For other people it's just that most of the social media scumsites jam bad news in our faces all day every day because it generates more clicks for advert revenue, and we like to spend some time on positive stuff.
retrimentalretrimental@mastodon.socialJun 16, 2026, 10:28 PMI'm actually curious. Why did you suggest CW?
