@elettrona @fediverso @evan I guess I mean ragebait? Like it can be a good resource talking about bad stuff but I won't usually share someone saying bullshit to say "this is bullshit"

@maj @fediverso @evan It depends on what "negative" means. Real images of ICE-related violence when official accounts boost fake videos, are important to boost; but if you HAVE FUN boosting "man has shot little dog" randomly, or those justice-hungry articles, well, that's ragebait and propaganda. Here in Italy we have a justice-related vote within less than 2 months and "yes" side and "no" side, are sending lots of polarizing info. Including that rubbish "migrant stole a blind man's phone, thankfully a group of harley davidson bikers was there" (ending with the thief giving the phone back and promising to work in blind-related association) those rubbish AI-made stories whose purpose is to teach "self-justice is better than institutions". [talking emoji: pull the handle, toilet flushes, shit goes down]

@elettrona @fediverso @evan I generally avoid boosting anything that's negative.
I just block or scroll away. Having just spent some time on Xitter (unfortunately) I realize I might be in the minority.

@maj @fediverso @evan Yes, if the screenshot is a quote, a text, it's useful. But sometimes it happens that the post directs you to a link where reading on, you end up supporting an unpleasant person or space. In that case, anonymous shorteners could be used to reproduce the link - very difficult to copy/paste a link from an alt-text

@johnefrancis great use of filters to manage your experience!
-
@elettrona @fediverso @evan thanks for sharing!
Does it help at all if the post and/or alt text describe the screenshot?
-
@maj @evan no, I definitely do not, and I have filters configured to hide content links to non-fediverse commercial platforms. I left those places for reasons. I'll share direct links to websites, many discovered via my RSS reader.

@maj @fediverso @evan I usually post comments coming from other social networks only if it's a YouTube video. I dislike screenshots because I'm totally blind and a screenshot-only post, is impossible to produce, and to READ, for me. And, not being on Facebook and Instagram or Tiktok, I don't read those posts at all. Youtube anyways, is still full of interesting contents and I've posted some contents there.
