Why is nobody here using the CWs? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

We see a lot of posts here which are obviously referring to a specific gender or certain wants for transitioning, yet nobody seems to be using the CWs that the rules say should be used.

Why is this exactly? Should we be trying to point this out when people posting here don't? If they aren't ever used why do we have them as rules?

CW?

Content warnings, per the rules:

  1. Posts that assume the viewer’s gender and/or contain potentially triggering content must be spoilered and tagged at the beginning of the post title. Example content-warning tags that you can copy include the following:
  • [CW: Assumes Viewer is Transmasc]
  • [CW: Assumes Viewer is Transfem]
  • [CW: Assumes Viewer is Nonbinary]
  • [CW: Transphobia]
  • [CW: Violence]
  • [CW: Weapons/Firearms]
  • [CW: Disturbing Imagery]

I'd say its a moderation issue, but I also think its unwise to remove otherwise fine content on a community with so little of it.

This largely needs to be a cultural shift. If you want to see more CWs, post frequently with them used appropriately to set an example.

We aren't asking for them to be removed as that would be needlesly harsh. We just want them to be encouraged to use the CWs, even with an edit.

Posting ourselves with good examples is a good idea and as soon as we find or can think of memes we want to share we will. In the meantime, we hope this post encourages the rules so that perhaps folks here will feel less uncomfortable (we know we have felt uncomfortable sometimes).
