@jkirkendall In my book, CWs are for explicitly sexy stuff, violence, and gore. Triggers like food, politics, and foss get tagged so as to let folks curate their own experiences with filters.

It's surely my age showing, but I don't go in for warning/tagging things like eye contact or discussions of mental health that *don't* involve violence of any sort.

@MossyQuartz @elfkin i really really want to respect folks needs and boundaries but do find "what if this was meat space" to be a good way to evaluate limits

if possible i would want people to provide physical barriers to gore to protect the general public as fast as possible or prefer strangers go out of view for naughty fun activities

but there is not way to avoid eye contact in public meat spaces. this sucks for people including me sometimes but i dont think means the world would be better if we all had to do some extra action to look at each other directly

cwing means everyone gets the unhide action, tag blocking makes it personalizable but not findable, can we do a hide like a cw on a tag and get a win-win?

@MossyQuartz oh totally i and i might have been unclear but i dont think there is a good solution yet.

blocking tags means never seeing it
cwing tags means everyone has the unhide

it would be great to have a hybrid where cw is tagged and user selects if tag hides or not

@glassresistor @MossyQuartz I am fairly certain that feature is available.

When you set up a masto filter for a hashtag you have the ability to decide if it just nukes all mention from your timeline, or appears with a CW just for you.

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're asking for, using hashtags allows users to decide for themselves whether the posts appear in their personal timeline with a CW or not at all. To me that seems the most reasonable option!
