Please keep in mind that I also use Mastodon as a comfort zone for personal posts and the occasional vent.
I use the CW feature appropriately for context on these posts, and they are usually set to followers-only privacy.
A lot of these posts are often influenced by occasional stress or depression, if I post views you do not agree with and it is follower-only behind a CW, please only engage positively and do not start an argument unless it's something I seriously need to know.
Sometimes the only way I can cheer myself up is speaking negative thoughts out from my mind, and I have been using Mastodon as an outlet for this for several years now since it feels safer than Twitter.
Please do not be upset if I do not accept your follow request or if I soft-block you later on, sometimes I just need a bit more personal space.
If you have read this post, please favourite it so I can be more comfortable accepting your follow request.
