new folks:

please remember to make heavy use of CWs

they are there because they are useful to reduce harm for folks

instead of being forced to read a post in order to determine if they want to interact with its contents or not (which is not a choice), you can know what the post is about and choose whether it's worth engaging that or not

also, some folks don't like the use of the CW system for jokes

I think it's okay, personally, as long as it's obvious that it's a buildup to a joke

@intherain yea- as long as it's clear it's being used as a joke (and not something intended to make you think it's serious as a joke), then yeah, totally
