The value of filters:
I have put CW filters on a number of words and hashtags. Occasionally I get curious, and unfold one. But I'm noticing:, I almost always feel worse after doing so. Like, I can feel it in my body.
Those filters are working; I have more energy to channel into what matters to me (currently: local politics and delayed spring cleaning).
I thot I'd see *who* was filtered, but nope, just see the CW & my label. Maybe I need to turn them into plain filters. #mastodon
@AlliFlowers I post with CW mostly to spare my foreign followers on local topics. Ex: city council issues, regional politics.
I hear that some of them read them anyway. LOL.
