You can complain about what people post, sure, but demanding people use content warnings is a form of gatekeeping.
You can mute any account you like if you don't like their content, but instead you wish those accounts only post things you'd like to read.
By trying to control what other people post I assume you don't quite understand how social media works.
Edit: I'm really just talking about CWs for people posting about political news and commenting on it.
@Anke Yes, but not all instances require content warnings unless for specific topics. So you're not necessarily breaking server rules but posting without them.
I think a much better feature -- which Mastodon is very good for -- is filters. I use plenty of filters. The things that bother me tend not to be offensive things, just certain hashtags, etc, used repetitively. You can filter out any word for any topic you don't want to see.
It's why it's also very important to spell your swear words correctly so people's filters catch them.
Another feature that is good is the lists feature. You can put different people in different lists and hide them from you main feed, putting them in a separate feed. That's also a good way to avoid content when you don't feel up to it. Or make sure you see the things you want. This also means no one is muted so you can still receive messages from them.
You see, my preferred ways of working accepts that I cannot control other people's content, but I can direct it into different feeds or hide it entirely.
