Please, folks, for the love of heaven, use CW for political posts. People follow each other from all over the world, and they may love what you usually talk about, but be bewildered by, and not really interested in, the domestic politics of your home country!
@winestock @Venetiasbooth Yes, sometimes called Content Wrappers. Think of them as a bit like a subject line. So, for example, if the CW is "uspol", and you neither live in the US, nor take interest in the politics of the US, you don't need to read the post, and your timeline is easier to scroll through.
Also used to cover NSFW stuff, so you only see it if you want to.
