@scattermoon@mastodon.social This will of course vary by where on fedi you are, but at least in my general circles I've not really seen any issues with this - there *is* a general expectation that you CW heavy/negative personal stuff, but I've also not seen people get bothered when they didn't/couldn't CW it for whatever reason.

Personally: I'm totally fine with negative stuff behind a CW. If it's not overwhelming, then it's also fine without CW. I do usually unfollow or mute people who are almost *only* negative without a CW, to avoid getting sucked into a spiral myself - that's nothing personal.

(Separately, there's an ongoing conversation about whether lived experiences of bigotry and particularly racism should be CW'ed; I don't personally think that should be *expected*.)
