You know one of my favorite things about Fedi is that it’s much easier to speak your mind vs corporate social media.
Any of those Corpo sites will gleefully censor you for saying anything that might be distasteful to The Advertisers, while hiding behind “free speech” to avoid doling out any consequences for people just being pricks.
Here, I don’t have to worry that any topic or word is out of bounds; no corpo newspeak required

Which, honestly is pleasingly ironic. There has been so much pearl-clutching over there being a *culture* of using CWs for topics that a decent number of people might want to make decisions about seeing. So many bits pushed to wring hands over whether it’s ethical or whatever. But no one on Fedi forces it. Sure, some communities or individuals might choose to not associate with you, and a few people might say something to you. That’s it.
