I would like to see this implemented as I myself don't really care too much about Content Warnings and would like to avoid the extra clicks they entail.

Good idea, it can also encourage people to use more the content warning function if they know that people can choose to see its content opened by default.

I also find that expanding every content warnings (CW) requires an annoying amount of extra clicking. Also, I suspect that the majority of Mastodon users benefit little from CW and that the default behavior should be rendering the full message and let individual users activate hiding if they have this need.

Content warnings are an important and useful tool and I mark toots with a CW whenever necessary. However, I would like to have them expand automatically for me, because I don't need them and the extra clicking is annoying.

Besides the option to always unfold CW posts I also think that replies to CW posts must be always unfolded by default in a thread view - but only if the person clicked on the Show More button on the thread head post otherwise people accessing a post through a direct link will see it folded and the replies unfolded.

If a thread has lots of replies should I click on Show More on every reply to read the whole thread that I was already aware about the content warning?

throwing my hat into the ring too - an option to expand all CW-labeled posts (or possibly "auto-expand CWs not including ______") would be very helpful.

Would also be nice in threads, where each reply automatically gets the same CW as the parent post. (maybe "auto-expand identical content warnings in threads" should be a separate issue :octocat:)

Should probably be disabled by default, so people who do want to have them collapsed don't have to jump through an extra hoop/have to somehow already know that they can be set to collapsed by default at all.

Guess https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/7255 is what you want.

Generally, someone needs to close this issue as a dupe, as it already has been mentioned.
