@QasimRashid Please add a CW. Some people here are NOT in the right emotional state to see this. Thank you.
@yuki2501 It’s just a clipping of a newspaper article, not footage of a shooting.

@blinky81 Text can be triggering, too. It's not up to the poster to decide if people might be triggered or not, but to ensure the fewest people will. That's why we have content warnings.

Is it really that hard to do an extra few clicks and a single line of typing to save others from a really disturbing moment?

@yuki2501 won’t they still see the text though? Do people just read CW and then close their eyes and keep scrolling? I feel like for text like this there’s no point at all, because you take in the info so quickly. Videos are completely different because you have to actually click and watch the whole thing.

Also, I think it is up to the poster to post whatever they want to post as long as it is within the guidelines of the poster’s instance.

@blinky81 CWs automatically collapse the text, so no, you don't take the info. (this may vary fepending on the server). Also, images get blurred. Remember that posts get federated to other servers, if you don't want other servers to get this, at least make sure to post to followers-only instead of public.
@yuki2501 Oh okay, wasn’t aware of that feature. And yeah, fair enough point.
@blinky81 Glad to have helped. Good day. 🙂
