a vague problem i have with tags on cohost is that they now have two very distinct feature sets:

  1. discoverability: you can find posts with a specific tag
  2. antidiscoverability: you can muffle posts with a specific tag

so if i tag something with a topic that i expect users have or may want to muffle it also has the effect of making that post discoverable by that same tag, which i may not want.

the particular example pointed out here of tagging eye contact such that it could be muffled by a minority of users would mean that if i posted selfies with eye contact i would need to choose between making them discoverable which i don't want, or correctly tagging the thing so that users who explicitly have it configured don't see it by default

idk how you would solve this (what we probably don't need is two tiers of content warnings that do different things by default) and it's honestly probably fine but it's weird to me.
