@kabrams @awerbel Yeah, as rowan said, there is a long-standing culture in the Fediverse of being more conscientious than average of those who suffer from various health issues.The community has had a larger than number of people who struggle with issues like eating disorders than most communities, for example, hence cautious tagging.

Those norms are actively evolving in many ways with the recent influx of new users, and it's not clear where everyone is going to land!

@awerbel Hi Amy! Content Warnings are added by the people who post them; there's no automation to do that, nor is there a way for admins to forcibly add one. Instead, these are added by authors to help out there followers.

While there are a wide range of norms around content warnings across the Fediverse (the nickname for the network of servers that Mastodon is a part of), I don't think I've run into any communities that would consider this post to need one!
