Personally I don't mind if people I follow post about politics that don't affect me personally, it's good for me to know more about different places and I want to know what affects my friends'/acquaintances' lives. I suppose this is another culture shift between people who came from other social media and people who apparently want their feed to be a neat long series of content warnings.
Ironically, quote boosts would make adding CWs to boosts much more viable and accessible. But anyway.

idk idk, imo if you follow someone there's a good chance you want to know more about their life, experiences, etc. And I do think that learning about peoples' lives on their terms instead of yours leads to better and deeper understanding. But everyone is different. I'm not against the idea of using content notes, but the lack of quote boosts means you have to either link the post, which kills engagement on it and might break threads, or actively steal the post, which feels shitty.

Also as a warning, sometimes I specifically boost one post from a thread instead of the whole thread because the rest of it may contain content I don't want to boost without CWs, the way views and threads get broken here means I again can't warn about this in any way that will consistently help the people who need them bc "re next boost CW" doesn't necessarily get seen in order. I can unboost if it bothers you but idk what to do outside of that other than just steal content, which also isn't ok.
