I worry sometimes about the UX of Mastodon if everything that's not entirely pithy goes under a CW.

I, of course, respect the reasons why anyone would ask for one. But the more things end up under CW, the more I become trained to just reflexively open them whether it's good for me or not.

I think it would be nice if users could opt to permanently open certain CW words. Like "tech", the example that got me thinking about this.

@zigg Your comment about how you reflexively open CWs is interesting because it's the opposite for me: the more I see CWs the more likely I am to scroll past them.

@bvtsang Yeah, I'm with @zigg on this one, as I just mentioned to someone else (copy/paste ahead): I feel like I honestly read *more* toots with CWs than I do those without, because it's a time saver! "Ooooh, I like dogs! I like selfies! I feel like reading about assistive tech today! I'm in the headspace to handle being angry about homophobia!" Otherwise, I generally scroll past if it's more than a single sentence, if I'm honest.
