The pain of being surprised by suddenly traumatizing information makes me angry, and I even see the issue happen on this site way more often than I would like.
It makes me regret reading comments online because of that pain.
back in 2020 people were raging about trigger warnings and content warnings because ”real life doesnt have trigger warnings!!” except it does quite a lot
usually “user” forgot, because the excitement of sharing something overcomes the idea that some people wouldn’t be as eager to see it. sometimes i try to not forget it, but it’s difficult, and posting it again with the warning would make me lose the original push and would be considered as spam?
Oh this could easily be me, it’s never on my mind, & if I seem joking or even jovial relaying such information, it’s because I intend to ward people off from leaving replies trying to uhh comfort me? Will try to do better. I should actually try to write some guidelines for what qualifies for a CW instead of just being the fish in the hellsea
Thank you for that (though I do not remember you being involved with such things).
Yeah, I am skulking around on yet another account. Said I was gonna do a bunch of stuff for people on here & got frazzled with work. I set reminders though so once they forget I’ll just surprise em with what they forgot they asked for.
Got a tendency to reference things like torture and child abuse as if they are already the topic of the site. Disturbs me on rereading. It’s like how I used to talk to libs to make them understand I view them as complicit in horrible shit. It does not make a lick of sense here. I don’t even remember to mark stuff NSFW. I never made a note to “stop horrifying Lemmy people” but that is easily fixed
While I don’t think this is about anything I posted, if you (or anyone else) do ever feel like I’ve failed to add a content warning to a post or comment that needs it, I’d appreciate knowing.
I appreciate your comment, but it was not you that triggered me.
