    Hey Fedi, I know there are a good lot of you want actionable ways to fight fascism. You know how one of the strategies that fascists use is to overwhelm people and make them freeze up, unable to fight back? I know many of you might not be used to this because it doesn't really exist on major social media platforms, but we have a thing here called a content warning (CW) that collapsed a post with little custom tags on it. Think of it as consent. Instead of forcibly pouring Scottish breakfast tea down a stranger's throat, you can ask them if they want it and warm them it's a smidge hot to chug This is especially appreciated by those of us that are marginalised because we have to deal with trauma, horrid news, and the like on a nearly daily basis as it is, and CWs allow us to decide whether we have enough energy and emotional capacity at that moment to deal with more of it which can literally save some of our days. (To use myself as an example, I'm mostly bedridden and spare emotional energy can decide whether I'm able to physically take care of myself that day or not.)It's a small thing, and it may feel awkward or uncomfortable at first, but I promise once you get used to them, other social media sites will feel like needless barrages on your sanity and you'll feel oddly naked trying to make posts then realising they don't have that feature #Antifascim #SocialJustice #Fedi #Mastodonp.s. if you need ideas for terms to put as part of the cw, I'm happy to help share some common ones I see~

    This almost seems … rational?> Microsoft’s Nadella: #AI needs ‘social permission’ to consume so much energy. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/12/01/microsofts-nadella-says-ai-must-earn-social-permission-to-consume-so-much-energy-00671920> “At the end of the day, I think that this industry — to which I belong — needs to earn the social permission to consume energy, because we’re doing good in the world.”I would like to contest the claim about 'doing good in the world'. But I can't argue the other half of that statement.And, right now? I'm withholding MY permission. #economy #SocialJustice

  • @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.
