It feels like half of the posts here seem to be a culture clash around CWs. Thinking of them like channels in Discord/Zephyr/Zulip/etc has helped me understand. Every social/BBS/chat system I've ever been on has had "take that to the politics/relationships/etc channel", and Mastodon CWs seem to fill a similar use-case but with a not-great UX and confusing (and triggering for some people?) name. I read with show-all enabled myself, and am happy to add CWs to help others who care.
