Thoughts on CW
Some thoughts about toots recommending/demanding the use of CWs.
There will be some who whole-heartedly agree with the idea of using CWs for posts conventionally not concealed behind CWs. Some—like me—will be indifferent but not opposed to using it. And there will also be some who feel like they're being forced to use it.
If you really want to persuade the latter two groups to use CWs more broadly than they're willing to, "this is the way it has been and how it always should be, so take it or leave it" attitude won't work. It borders on guilt-tripping them by saying "you are inconsiderate and insensitive and lack empathy if you don't use CWs." Also, I'm skeptical there's (and will ever be) a bright-line rule as to what makes for a triggering post—it's inherently subjective. Where do we draw the line?
That said, we need to present gains and benefits of CW that apply to those people as well. Personally, I like CW because I tend to want to have a rough sense of what I'm about to read—like a table of contents. What do you like about CWs other than hiding triggering content?
