the cw stuff
am I in the wrong to want cws for our own mental health, even if we do open almost every one?
just, not being given a chance to mentally prepare for stuff, and not being able to close it after reading, makes it way harder on us
we still read the stuff. but it's wearing on our mental health and i really do *not* want to have to use keyword mutes
i want to retain our ability to engage with this stuff
i want to have cws not to silence people but so that we *don't have to* silence people
re: the cw stuff
this is an actual question by the way. i want to know if i'm in the wrong here so that i can not be if i am
re: the cw stuff
like, we're not black. we can't fully understand what it's like to be black. but i want to be able to read things and help where we can and not having cws is eventually going to lead to us needing to mute stuff so we don't go into a depression/panic spiral
i don't know what the right answer is here
personal re: the cw stuff
@Felthry we really like the argument someone made that CW stuff is community-norms stuff
like, there's also a competing-access-needs situation, but, like ... we Packbats, as part of our community, try to CW heavily and limit boosts of un-CWed material*, but we don't get to make that call for people outside our community
(* we ... could probably limit un-CWed boosts more, but we don't have the spoons to add CWs to very much...)
we try to spread the word about things worth CWing as general policy, but unless we have some kind of relationship with a somebody, we don't ask them for CWs
(to be continued...)

re: basic CWs and asking re: personal re: the cw stuff
@Felthry I mean, if it's one of the really basic ones, we'd probably check their instance rules first? idk, that just makes us feel more comfortable saying something, if we confirm that they're not on a "yeah we post unCWed porn here" instance
idk
