Just so you're aware, if you think that using a CW will lower your engagement, I can honestly tell you, as someone who uses CW's frequently, that I've never noticed a difference.
So use CW's. When you write a post, ask yourself if someone who may be struggling with something like food, drugs, weight loss, abuse, might need a warning first? It's a simple gesture of kindness and costs you nothing.
@kel I find this interesting. I have had people thank me for putting food behind a CW but I've never had anyone tell me that putting it behind a CW affected them in any way. And I've been doing it for a long time.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't true or doesn't have merit, but I'd be interested to hear how you came to this realization? Have people who are recovering from food disorders expressed this to you?
For myself, I have no choice, I can't knowingly hurt someones recovery, or make it more difficult for them and I don't want to upset anyone who is sensitive either.
I am willing to add CW or tag, same amount of work, makes no difference to me, the tag/filter approach works just as well and works for both groups, CW only works for one group. QED.
If there is a better way that makes it better for everyone, I am all ears, but it's been about a year now iirc.
