CW meta & question
Okay so maybe there's some technical point I'm missing here, but are CWs required for filtering? If someone were to filter the words "Ukraine," "war," and maybe "Russia" and "Putin" if they want to go farther, wouldn't that filter pretty much 99% of posts about the war? And isn't that even more effective than CWs in a way, since filtered posts can be disappeared altogether unlike CWs without filters which are still a visible reminder of what's going on?
I support anyone's right to curate their content and to consent to see potentially upsetting things. What I don't get is the idea that it's imperative for other people, even people directly affected by the war, to use CWs for specific content focused on, as far as I can tell, a specific and narrow set of keywords that can be easily filtered.

@ljwrites additionally, people tend to be more consistent in their CW’s, if someone makes a post misspelling Trumps name for comedic effect (something people did frequently during his presidency) it would slip past everyones filters, while an equivalent cw-ed post would probably be warned with his actual name, or uspol and therefore more effectively filterable
