PSA: CW isn't censorship or "hiding important things". It's like a subject line in an email: the reader knows what's coming so they may choose when to see it.

No, Google, I don't want a video in which a talking head explains what cookies are. I want a way to turn cookies off.

@irina yes thiiiiis. In spanish speaking mastodon almost no one uses it and I just don't feel comfortable in it. Wich is sad as I live in Argentina. That is why I want to build a instance (but no money he)
@irina ... and yet it's not email. Email is private; Mastodon posts are public. (And the historical reason for email subject lines has nothing to do with warnings or sensitivity.)
I have no beef with anyone's CWs, and I am inclined to CW myself if asked ... but I do have sympathy for POC who have issues with being told to put their entire ordinary lives behind a CW.
If they can live through the racism, I don't think the rest of us should object to the occasional glimpse of what that's like.
I've always seen CW as a tool to hide content that people might not want to see so they could view it on their own discretion. Movie/TV show/game spoilers, various NSFW content, that kind of stuff.
