Yes, even that Nazi imagery
if you post it or boost it without a CW you are doing their work
unfollowing, muting (timed or not), blocking boosts if I see it

I understand the impulse to ask for that, but in each case there are two fundamental problems.
The less complicated one to describe and discuss is the fact that so many interfaces now do not support selecting all the visible text that a screenshot can quickly and easily capture.

I've sat on this long enough that I don't think it qualifies as a subtoot any more.
One sometimes sees an admonition against posting screenshots of text with the exhortation to just ("just") copy-and-paste the text also or instead.
I've seen this in two circumstances. Frequently it's part of trying to maintain our culture of supplying image descriptions. But I've also seen it in the context of communicating error messages for bug reports.

I have modulated down a lot of my antipathy towards non-commercial (NC) and no-derivatives (ND) terms for work released under Creative Commons licenses yet still intermingled amongst Open Access or Open Education Resources.
It's not (or at least, not only) Google that's driving the focus on camera-ready copy, content to leave the editor's and proofreader's markup behind.
References, bibliographies, methods sections are long-established windows into the production process, but at a much more abstract, conceptual level.
We still struggle deeply with who gets to inspect, let alone manipulate, the markup rather than receive the rendered version.

My frustration runs sometimes in an anti-parallel direction to the boost that is driving me to write this (will reference in a reply).
The various newer-than-free-software "Open" movements tend to work on sharing useful artefacts that have come out the end of some production process. The process often seems secondary, at best.

We call them "forges" but people seem to want the folk who hammer this shit out to be like some magical code fountain unblemished from their toil in Hadean fires.
There are people who have more of their shit figured out and people who have less of their shit figured out.

Ok, I had missed the part where the Mastodon org in Germany had earlier lost its non-profit status.
Learning that cleared up my confusion about why they were setting one up again.

"but I don't want to help them, I want to help everyone else"
You can do some of both. Maybe.
Indeed, you are uniquely positioned to help everyone else by improving the understanding and behavior of the people you are so ready to leave behind.

I'm having my own trouble saying this that it has taken me a few toots to work my way around to it:
To be effective you have to have compassion.
To do that, you have to forgive yourself first.

Unless you understand how you got that way, and what the path away from that looks like, what do you honestly think you have to offer anyone still trapped inside?

Seriously, if you want to help, help yourself first.

Type of cis white guy who looks around at all the people very much like himself, realizes they are assholes, and then makes the leap straight over
"maybe people like me should stop being assholes in this particular way"
into the depths of
"I should be such an asshole to the people I'm still one tiny step away from that somehow people won't notice that I ever was that kind of asshole"
