My main problem with CWs is that I'm not sure what would trigger some people. Sometimes I feel I should CW all my posts. There is no easy way out of this. I accept being blocked. I try my best, but will sometimes fail. But the "too important" argument is wrong. Fortunately I don't post very *important* things.
@Szescstopni it definitely gets tricky to decide where to draw the line with less common stuff like specific phobias, eye contact or things that people might find upsetting when it gets overwhelming like too much politics even though an individual post isn't upsetting, and I tend to deal with these cases by just making sure I have keywords people can filter out. I know I have one follower who has a phobia of cats for example, and I'm not going to cw all my cat posts, just rely on them to filter the word. But there are some things all normal human beings will find horrifying like violence, injuries or sexual assault and I'm talking about people who deliberately refuse to cw images of these because they think it's important for what's going on to be seen. I've seen this specifically in the case of people who want to show images of what's been done to Palestinians in the war, or various recent ICE murders in the US. And that's what I don't think is either kind or helpful to share unCW'd
@Szescstopni My only problem with CW’s is people don’t use them enough. If you think something you are about to toot will be triggering, put it behind a CW.
I don’t know every triggering issue for everybody but I know what things trigger me so I will put those behind a CW. Although it’s much more likely I won’t toot about those subjects.
If I’m unsure what triggers other people, seeing what others put behind a CW helps to educate me.
@Szescstopni @Jules she/her there is also quite a difference between somebody not CWing something because they don't realize it can be triggering, and then when asked trying their best to CW similar content in the future, and people who loudly announce that they won't CW something, and thus making it explicit that they understand that it should be under CW, they just feel that the rules of good neighborhood don't apply to them.
