I just reported a post through Mastodon software, I think for the first time. I was surprised as I was filling out the report, that it showed me a bunch of other posts from this account and asked me to check if those are also problematic. They were.
As I was checking off post after post of rule-violating content, I couldn't help but think: Isn't this a potentially very harmful thing to put someone through? Like, I saw some dick pics. It wasn't my idea of a good time but I won't think about it again. But what if I was reporting something really really bad someone posted? Something that really upset me. And then the report flow says, "here, are any of the following posts also extremely upsetting and possibly harmful to you?"
I am not a npub10fxtnr844thhzd9gwypw2s0sgvjfa6h02eq4s9quasnfprtymwpsvxyz8r (npub10fx…yz8r). I am not an expert in npub18e5a6swjyenxdpnl5d0l8xrw6rtk4cat6y553vdl68rq7m64jz5q7kgvez (npub18e5…gvez). I am not an expert in trauma. I am not an expert in mental health. So maybe I'm really off base, but to me this does not feel like a good idea. Does anyone else feel this way?
