Content Warning Policy

Content warnings (CW) allows users to hide suggestive or potentially triggering content. This requires the user to hide the content by default. If thee user wants to view it, they can click the button to show it.

The following requires a CW and sensitive always:

• Sexual themes (including nudity) or content
• Violent themes or content, blood and gore
• Content that contains self-harm

Suggested, but not required, or at least tagged (for purposes of filtering):

• Political current events such as elections and government actions (normally abbreviated to 'pol' along with the country/region, ie. 'USPol', 'UKpol', 'DEpol', etc.)
• Potentially triggering Mental Health topics (normally abbreviated to 'mh'). Many of our members come here to discuss their mental health journey, and we seek to be as welcoming and open as possible, but for the sake of other users: please CW references to self harm, suicide, helplessness and other moods and behaviours that may be contagious or trigger people in recovery
• Alcohol ('alc') and drugs
• Themes or content about abuse
• Common phobias (Like certain animals such as snakes and insects.)
• Spoilers (in regards to source material not covered in an anime or for an episode that just aired)
• Long posts or posts with multiple parts (please also use the 'unlisted' privacy setting for posts after the first in a thread, so that the local timeline doesn't get flooded)
• Content made with generative tools like neural networks ("AI") and dissociated press/ebooks bot-style Markov chains that are designed primarily to imitate art or communication made by people. These can cause an uncanny-valley effect and can be distressing or frustrating when presented without warning. Additionally, AI generated content (text and image) must be tagged, no exceptions.

Please do not demand people to CW content, especially if it’s not required by the rules, this is the moderators job. We will send a DM asking the content to be CW’d.
