fedi meta, a plead to those posting without content warnings on sensitive topics
Importance doesn't matter. It's about mental health.
Consider that with the world being generally on fire, there are a number of people who are handling this considerably less well than you might.
Consider that boosting or posting some terrible or outrageous news, or simply posting about certain billionaires or dictators could be EXTREMELY UPSETTING for some people to have show up in their feed without a content warning, to give them the decision whether they would like to hear about it or not.
Not using content warnings is not giving your connections the choice whether they see potentially upsetting content or not. Don't assume everyone is using filters.
Please, just take the time to think about what you're posting and whether it might upset your followers. All we're asking is just a little extra effort on your part in using the CW system, and adding a couple words vaguely describing what your post is about.
It's never too late to start, and your followers will thank you. It's truly not a lot of work to aid peace of mind to many.
