One way to get more poll participation is to note in the very first line that it is a poll. I didn't realize it was because the poll itself was hidden until I opened the rest of it.

@jupiter_rowland in the end the user chooses their own experience based on what client they choose to use.

If a user is very worried about being triggered by an image then they need to use a client with features that would hide all images.

It’s not your responsibility to save a user from bad choices about which clients they choose to use.

@jupiter_rowland Commendable that you are considerate with regards to including alt + warnings in your posts. But, I personally wouldn't worry about it. Adding ALT to an image in Hubzilla is hard-work enough! Don't do it for the sake of appeasing the Mastodon police who send you the rules of the Fediverse every time you dare post an image with no alt.

I'm on Mastodon BTW and your (very, very, very) long posts read just fine to me and auto-truncate at a certain character limit.

Be free, live dangerously!

I'm thinking that people who are easily trigged should use a specialized client or use an addon for an existing client.

For example, for people trigged by stuff in images, a client could hide images by default. If you want to get fancy, an AI can be trained to auto-hide such images or even unfollow or block the person posting them based on the content of the image. A client that filters images for them would be more reliable than depending on people tagging images.

Or, they could just exercise their right to decide who to follow and who not to.

I think just about all Mastodon mobile apps behave like the default Web UI: They only hide images if the images have Mastodon's very own "sensitive" flag that Hubzilla can't set.

And telling people to switch to another app just because of an incompatibility between Mastodon and something that's so very much not Mastodon is stupid and lazy. Especially towards those millions of iPhone users who only get to choose from very few apps.

@jupiter_rowland Right, so we should encourage the Mastodon developers to focus on empowering users to make that kind of decision.

Mastodon should do better.

@volkris I'm tempted to say that Mastodon doesn't want to become more compatible with anything else. If anything, everything else shall either follow Mastodon's lead or suffer consequences.

But the last time I've filed a compatibility bug on Mastodon's GitHub that was clearly on Mastodon's side, it was fixed in dev the same evening and in the new stable release three days later.

I think it is just different philosophies on social media and lack of understanding. I have followed a lot of conversations about interoperability, and on the technical level, there is a lot of explaining that has to go on before both sides understand what each other is doing. So there is a information gap that, in some cases, gets in the way.
