fedi, "couch protests", etc.
@pixel This "_ is good, but if they ever make even the slightest bad thing they're tainted forever" view is a plague.But also, regarding CW and alt text, I would put the blame on the platform design. I ranted about it many times before: the way Twitter-likes work is that scope for your posts is never clear. Your post may be casual and primarily intended for your local corner, but then it somehow reaches people you've never seen before who can't handle un-CWed food. They're annoyed at you for misbehaving according to their corner's social rules, and you're annoyed at them because it feels like a stranger intruding into a scope they weren't supposed to be included in. But the platforms don't have anything to technically enforce these sort of scopes, all we get is public, kinda public, followers-only and DM. That's not enough for a lot of interactions taking place, and that's the underlying issue behind a lot of conflicts on here.
