#tagging

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

I've made 10,000 posts on Mastodon since I joined just under two years ago.

Thanks and thoughts:

- I'm grateful to @admin for running this instance. I made a small contribution to the running costs, and you should do the same.

- Thank you to all who follow and interact with me.

- Thank you to the people I follow for providing so much thought provoking, entertaining, informative, and beautiful content.

- I wish more of the academics and journalists I followed on Xitter had migrated to Mastodon.

- There are times when I feel I am just talking to myself here.

- There are many topics on which I have opinions but which I do not discuss here, either because I am not sufficiently well informed to make a constructive contribution to a discussion, or because for some topics I do not think Mastodon is an appropriate forum for their discussion.

- Partly on account of its current rotten government and the appalling way in which it is currently waging war, Israel is an unpopular country on Mastodon, or at least in the parts of Mastodon that I see. Nevertheless and regardless of how many people here take offence, I will continue to defend the right of Israel to exist. A two state solution, Israel and Palestine recognized as two states living alongside each other, is not utopian and is the only way to ensure peace and dignity for all.

- I use hashtags and so should you!

Planned to add file name descriptions and #tags to my recent photos while taking a train ride.

Unfortunately, tab-completion of my Python-based #tagging tool doesn't work at the moment and I have no idea why. This makes my tagging session an unpleasant one.

So I created a bug report for it: github.com/novoid/filetags/iss

The only thing that worries me is that it's my own tool, that has this bug and I don't know how to fix it. 😔 🤦‍♂️

Could be related to #readline, terminal emulator, pyreadline version, ... 🤷

@Serenus @sandwich

#contentWarning and #tagging are very different

tagged content flows by at the same level of exposure

content warning hides content from general consumption, putting up an additional barrier to engage with it

for plenty of topics: sex, violence, etc, it is an utterly valid ask

but to ask someone to content warn something that doesn't require a content warn by any coherent rationale?

this is asking the world to bend to your personal preferences on contrived entitlement

@Serenus @sandwich

yes: #tagging is a completely different story than #contentWarning and i agree with you wholeheartedly

it allows people who want to be engaged in the same content as you to find you

and the inverse:

it allows others who want to avoid the content you are engaged in to avoid you

and *that* is the way it should be

i am not entirely sure there is or ever will be a better option
