@testing haha I'm quite sure kbin social is a lot more permissive than sakurajima social so that's not surprising. When I get home I'll take a look at well.
Hm. Upvote should translate to a like, or a boost?
@geraineon
this seems to be a kbin bug: you tagged me in a reply to the original post, and i received no notification > only saw it after reading your reply above
and hm, I think I know why. When I first hit reply earlier, I didn't tag you and then I realized kbin doesn't automatically tag the person that is being replied to, so I edited the post to tag your username. Editing a post doesn't notify you I guess! And it doesn't federate.
@geraineon
had one more look at sakurajima.social, and yes! you are right, and i was wrong, maaf ya ...
on your instance, you can indeed find all replies to your original post - the way they show up is handled differently from kbin where you can see more replies at a glance, without having to open each conversation separately
@geraineon I personally consider the cutoff for a "long" post to be somewhere around 1000 characters of normally spaced text, maybe 3-5 paragraphs. That's the length I would want a CW for - even though I have CWs set to auto-expand, I can click them to close them again if I'm not interested in the post.
I don't know how other people feel. Maybe you could do a poll?
@xieliansbignaturals I honestly think calling it a content warning is the issue here hahaha. If it's called a content cut/collapse wrapper or whatever, there will be a lot less discourse around its usage.
Someone else said 3 paragraphs too, and another said mastodon limit of 500 words. Which seems around 3 paragraphs imo
@geraineon Huh, I'm not sure how that plays into it. I personally feel like it makes perfect sense to use a "content warning" for content you want to warn for, even if the thing is just "it's a long post."
@xieliansbignaturals content warning has a heavier connotation to it, I think. (Idk if you were here for the content warning discourse of November 2022 fedi 😂)
Some feel that it cheapens the use of CW when it's not stuff that are trigger warning worthy (usually sex, racism), some think putting some stuff under content warning makes that thing they put under content warning to be something shameful (e.g., food), because it's a warning
That's why I think maybe if it's called something different, it might not have led to as much discourse? (Personally, I think muting terms and hashtags work better if I wanna avoid stuff)
@geraineon Yeah... I personally wish people would CW more sparingly. Because of people's habit of using CW's like "Genshin Impact", I had to turn on auto-expand months ago. (Otherwise, my muscle memory would have learned to auto-expand things anyway.) I have some pretty intense triggers, and filters don't always catch them, so that sucks! I just have to unfollow people. :(
I would worry that calling CW's something else would only aggravate this issue.
@xieliansbignaturals@geraineon I actually agree with this. I dislike using CWs for things like long posts and other trivial things. People overuse it and I don't want to auto-expand things so I end up just straight up not caring enough to open a CW. Part of that is my pettiness and aggravation at people using it for ANYTHING though.
@capriciousvisage@geraineon Thank you!! 😭 (I would probably agree with you about long posts if my chosen mobile interface had a way to collapse them. I just don't want to scroll forever.) It IS really aggravating! I want to be able to use CWs the way they were intended. 😭 I want to follow more people and not have to turn off boosts.
@geraineon@xieliansbignaturals I use Phanpy on desktop and Megalodon on mobile. They both shorten long posts automatically.
It depends on the spoiler tbh. If someone is getting in depth for several posts in a row and often, then a tag makes sense. If it's here or there then a CW is fine.
I think my problem with using CW for long posts is that it isn't like an LJ cut or Tumblr read more to me. There's functionally no way to actually preview the post like those mechanics.
@geraineon A lot of apps for masto at least will auto clip long posts.
To me though, a long post is 3+ paragraphs. That's just me though. I'd rather read everything shorter than that in one go and not have to suffer an extra click.
@geraineon No, sorry, I explained poorly. If something is around 1-3 paragraphs, I'd prefer no CW but in one post. I still don't like CWs for long posts in general though. Especially since the interfaces I use will auto clip longer posts.
@anianimalsmoe I didn't think of that because it's fine on mine ahaha. I am not even on any clients... Feel a lil bad for my recent kinda long posts with my dec recs
