This is the third time I've gotten complaints about this, as far as I can tell, all from actual non-otherwise-troll people. Apparently there's a small but vocal minority here that find black & white photos inherently "depressing", and insist on content warnings and labels for them.
I don't want to cause anyone needless depression or grief, but I'm afraid I find this expectation unreasonable and unworkable. No one can possibly anticipate every idiosyncratic thing that someone might react to.
@f1c6c5c3 You're kidding about this, right? Please tell me you're kidding that you're getting people telling you that black and white photos are "depressing". Please, please. You're kidding. Right?
@f1c6c5c3 yeah mastodon can be kinda wild that way. The unfollow is right there mududes.
@f1c6c5c3 You could add a hashtag to allow them to use their filters. I had someone lecture me about posting zoo photos. I reminded the person of the many ways they could curate their own feed and not expect others to do it for them.
@f1c6c5c3 Additionally, I have problems with the color blue. So if you post a photo that has any blue, I’d appreciate if you could create a different account with no followers and post it there. Thanks in advance.
@f1c6c5c3 Imagine being plunged into a forlorn state because of...*looks for nearest black and white photograph* Your profile picture
