But why wouldn't someone want to read the letter b? Especially when the letter is used so commonly in English. Again, people who don't understand will see this which will feed the fire of not taking content warnings seriously.

Gonna agree with cible here

Mastodon: b (read more) b Mastodon-Twitter crossposter: CW: b b

I mean the source doesn't really change my opinion.

I'm... not denying that. All that tells me is that I think Mastodon's format is harmful lol

I don't see how it's harmful

People already barely take CWs seriously, the fact that it auto adds CWs when they're not required isn't gonna help that. It stands for content warning, nobody needs a warning for every single thing.

Assholes who don't take content or trigger warnings seriously shouldn't get to decide when using a content warning is ok or not. None of us need a content warning for the letter b, so just, move on?

I mean hey I'm already "moved on", just giving my thoughts. I think we just fundamentally disagree here, personally, I just do not think it's an accurate usage of a "warning", it's more of a subheading.
