Emma DavidsonI think about CWs kind of like email subject lines. It’s a helpful tool for people who don’t have time to scroll past every post, or want to sort and filter what they see, for a bajillion reasons some of which I don’t even know about. I quite like CWs. Feels a bit like Usenet.
ajd@emmadavidson I think ideally the concerns of "subject lines" and actual content warnings for triggering stuff could be separated out to make the experience on the reader side more configurable

VirtualWolf@emmadavidson 100% could not agree more.

To be honest I think calling them warnings was the mistake. If it was just a flag for the topic of a post they'd be less controversial, still useful for filtering content you don't want to see, and also useful as something like a hashtag for locating posts on specific topics.
