Update: test complete! Thank you all for helping 馃┓
This was a test of content warning mechanics.
Findings:
- The search tab trending system excludes posts with content warnings from trending.
- Posting, and then editing to add a CW, also stops a post from trending.
- Removing the CW later will make the post eligible for trending again.
Note: I did not test if adding a CW would remove an already trending post from the trending list.
Thoughts: The way trending formula interacts with content warnings actively discourages accessibility by creating a situation where reach and accessibility considerations are at odds.
