Meta, "politics" question 

Serious question: when people say "always cw for politics!", What do they mean exactly?

Anything related to governments, elections, lobbying?
Activist, community, mutual aid efforts?
Discussions about marginalised communities and bigotry? Personal experience? Academic research? Self musings?
Anything vaguely newsworthy?

Meta, "politics" question 

@creatrixtiara The three most common (implicit) interpretations I've observed, probably in order of common-ness:

A) Electoral politics
B) A + activism-related reporting/research
C) B + "philosophical" deliberations and musings about political stuff and power dynamics, including systemic oppression

I've not really seen anyone consider it to include personal experiences, but I'm also on a very tightly-moderated instance, so that may well not be representative.

I personally tend to go with option C for my CWs, and it doesn't seem to make people any less likely to read or interact with it. But that's a sample size of 1, of course.
