No thank you.
I use filters to keep my feed how I want it. That might mean not reading too much about a subject that damages my mental health. Or it might just be a subject that some people I follow are really into, but I'm not interested.
What you filter, what hashtags you follow, what people you follow, who you mute and block, this is your business alone. Nobody else ever needs to know, nobody is entitled to know, and you should never feel pressured on any of this.

@RolloTreadway ok? I don't disagree with anything you've said.
However I think you might have misunderstood.
Go back and reread and you'll see I said "an OPTION to" meaning that the person would be able to show it or not show it.
Your response sounds like it would be compulsory. Which is not what I wrote.
Mr. Funk E. Dude
@allenstenhaus Ok I obviously need to go back and rewrite the OP because you're the second person to not get what I was saying.

@Mrfunkedude That's a good way to subject mentally ill people to more harassment.
Many things I filter not bc I don't care but bc the sheer frequency of the topics (even topics I often support) can be overwhelming & harmful.
The last thing I need is people seeing them, thinking it means I'm against things I support, & using it as a way to Wil Wheaton me out of the fediverse.
Filters are used to protect me. Publicizing them would do the exact opposite. I'm a delicate flower.
Mr. Funk E. Dude
@allenstenhaus fuck it. I deleted it the OP.
I said OPTION. That means the ability to show it or not too.
I think I came up with a better idea anyway.
Allen Stenhaus
@Mrfunkedude In that case, I will delete my toot, as the last thing I want is to further misunderstanding.
It just felt too much too me like when Twitter decided likes should be treated like RTs. I know a public platform isn't going to give much privacy, but the little bit I do have I wish to keep.
My apologies for misunderstanding your intent. That's the trouble with short form written communication.
Mr. Funk E. Dude
@allenstenhaus No worries. I'm writing something better now anyway.
At least I hope it is. ?
Mr. Funk E. Dude
@RolloTreadway no worries. Someone else replied with pretty much what you said, so I just deleted the OP.
Which is fine, I thought about it further and reworded it into a different post.
Everything's cool.

@Mrfunkedude Apologies, you're quite right. I'm just very sensitive about this kind of thing. Sorry.
