new mastodon update grumping, content warnings
Content warnings are one of my favourite features on fedi and I feel like gargron hates them?
Like I use them for everything from serious warnings to silly things to just wanting a long post to be shrunk with a summary. They are so flexible and make me feel so much more comfortable posting.
But the latest update has put awful hazard bars around them (thank you WelshPixie for changing that to rainbows! )

and changed the CW button to a hazard sign, and changed 'show more' to 'show anyway' which all just feels so aversive?
I know I dislike change at the best of times but design decisions mean things about how you want people to feel about your website, and making CWs more frightening is an awful decision and counter to the cosy, safe feeling I had about CWs before, where there was no pressure either way, it was just text politely tucked away.
