We need to talk more about reducing "tone policing" here. I understand you want people to use content warnings, but guess what? They don't have to! If they don't do it, just unfollow them.
But please, don't harass them. That's what drove away our last big wave.
Do whatever you need to feel safe, but harassing people to your standards doesn't make THEM feel safe. Stop it.

I always found CWs to be backwards. How the hell am I supposed to know what is going to set someone off? They should honestly be removed and let readers self-filter.

@scottjenson I don't have any data about the usefulness of Content Warnings but I can't think of a use case not already covered by filters.
I rely on filters for content I don't want to see, and I don't need CW to match it. Are there cases where CWs catch what filters don't?

@thibaultamartin I don't think it matters as many people never use CWs the "right way" so will never be caught properly.
Btw, I'm not saying we should never use CWs there could be some strong content that a server wants to always be me marked. But that's up to server admins to enforce not randos yelling at newcomers

Would like to suggest combining "tone policing" with how we can make it easier for new users to grasp how every instance can set their own "rules" for their users - often in a CoC and/or ToS.
But within limits, as otherwise risk getting defederated.
Some guidelines on making it easy for users to find someones home instance and the rules it has could also be good. Both for instance admins and users.

@blainsmith @scottjenson I don't think it's such a problem, at least I haven't seen it be with the people I follow....
I guess it's a kind gesture to put CW if you know that some people don't want to see/can't see without panic, e.g. spiders.
I don't think such warnings are a bad thing in general. Things get bad if done excessively and we all may draw that line in different places. 🤷Then again I make use of filters a lot to block out posts about politics. I like that I can easily unto filters and read posts anyway.

@scottjenson @thibaultamartin OTOH, filters don't work reliably either given how many people have carried over from The Other Places the bad habit of intentionally mistyping names to avoid algorithmic demotion/shadowbanning/etc.

@tsvenson @scottjenson the tone of the tone policing matters too. For example, a suggestion that using appropriate hashtags (to help filters) and/or CWs might actually increase reach since people who care about this will only boost properly tagged and/or CWed posts will elicit a different reaction than a shouting match to the tone of «CW YOUR POLITICS, ASSHOLE».

@scottjenson I completely agree. I always try to make it clear to users of my forums that they shouldn't object to the way other users post.
Users can report any rule violations to us moderators either through the integrated reporting system or by direct message. If they don't receive a satisfactory response, they can mute or block that user. But they shouldn't harass other users, otherwise the social Fediverse will be under such pressure that only the troublemakers will remain. -

Dear printer-fighting fediverse,
I'm afraid that our printer is reaching the end of its life, and I'm considering buying a new one: I believe that the recommendation for printers that print and don't try to trick you into subscriptions is Brother, and the usual shops I buy these things from either don't have them, or they are huge multifunction ones (and they are out of stock anyway).
do you have recommendations for ships with a website to buy printers from, ideally in it or at least in eu?
(I'm looking for a colour laser, with ethernet)

@muffa ammetto di dover ringraziare l'AI per quello, che ha fatto il grosso. Ma non è assolutamente preparata o anche solo vagamente utile per i dettagli.

Gentil fediverso che lotta contro le stampanti
missà che la nostra è davvero arrivata, e sto meditando l'acquisto di una nuova: mi risulta che il consiglio del fediverso per stampanti che stampano e non cercano di infinocchiarti in abbonamenti vari siano le Brother, e i negozi soliti da cui compro questo genere di cose o non ne hanno, o hanno delle multifunzione enormi (e sono comunque esaurite)
avete consigli di negozi con sito da cui comprare stampanti, idealmente in it, al più in eu?
(sto cercando una laser a colori con connessione di rete cablata)
