Things that are commonly content-warning'd are also commonly content-filtered by people who tend to be the biggest beneficiaries of healthily designed content-warnings. so putting keywords in there that filter out people who don't want to see intense or damaging things to their psyche can avoid it more easily. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────┘ --- #2 fediverse/1825 --- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────── if one person is honest to everyone, then no-one can be honest to them for anything they want to keep hidden. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────┘ --- #3 messages/1102 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───── I want everyone to be able to do what they want.

Some people won't change. Some people are doomed to the life they were given. It's not their fault, but it is their responsibility, and if they want to be free, they will respect the rights of others. These rights we claim for each other are rights that must be taken away from those who would use them to harm others. To defeat evil, deprive power, supply kindness, in that order. No-one is beyond saving, but it is their choice to make. A choice ungiven is a chance untaken. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┘ --- #20 messages/908 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────── if you don't see someone doing what you're doing after a while you hide into something else ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────┘ |
