My issue with CWs is that you are deciding for yourself what others should consider "sensitive" content. The trouble with that fir me is there are some people who are sensitive about really niche things. I understand putting a CW on NSFW media; because that could get you in trouble at work. But putting CWs on anything else is a bit over-the-top for me. I just saw someone asking for CWs on holiday posts because it makes that person sad... Seems a bit much for me! 😅
@davidpgil It also involves having to share personal information about yourself. This puts people that value their privacy more at a loss since they can't talk about what it is that triggers them.
Doing things at your own locus of control is more effective - taking a day off offline or somewhere else (ie read a book), adding words to filter out, have better coping mechanisms even, and so on.

@hcs i think that use case makes sense to me. but i think asking others to put a CW on something that triggers them is a bit much, no?
@davidpgil Yes I agree. Also see some links at https://pleroma.site/objects/fc1f7995-315a-4ae4-b7bd-ff1d19a973d5 about trigger warnings in general.
