Dan Fixes Coin-Ops
#feditip for newbies, especially the ones who post a lot of politics stuff: use the CW or "Content Warning" feature if you want people to boost your posts.
For example, if you're posting about American politics, you might CW with the subject line "American politics" or "USPol" for short.
Using CWs has been part of the established culture here for years, and people generally don't boost unCW'd politics posts. If you think something's important and want to give it visibility, use a CW.

@ifixcoinops 1. so even if i only post politics, I should use CW otherwise people that don't mainly post politics may avoid reposting it?
2. Is there any way to avoid having to click for every CW political post? If everyone did that I'd have to click to see virtually any post on my timeline. (I don't want to see NSFW stuff by default though).
3. I agree some political things should have a CW if they make people anxious, but even less affecting political things?

@ifixcoinops I understand the need for Content Warnings if you’re posting anything that might offend or distress but perhaps better simply not to follow people who toot subjects that don’t interest you ? I’m not that interested in cats for instance but I’d not expect a CW for every cat photo ?
