1. Content warnings, I maintain, are equivalent to lowering your voice; to letting people self-select into the audience for whatever you're saying.
2. Phrasing it as "put a content warning on politics" is appreciably a really bad way of saying the various different things people meant by that.
3. Lowering your voice is sometimes the polite thing to do; asking someone to lower their voice is often a repressive thing to do.
@bruno true, but there's a problem of integrating new members into the community here too. A lot of people walk into a new social situation without taking the time to understand what the "polite thing" for that community means. Do you let them make an ass of themselves, or politely inform them about etiquette? What about when more and more people join, and they take their cues from the loudest people in the room? Community building requires intentional actions.
