Will there ever be a way to add a content warning (CW) to a post? (kbin.social)

As title suggested. CW culture is super prevalent on Mastodon and the Keys, so I'm wondering if that is even a possibility?

I guess being a "message board" service automatically gives KBin/Lemmy some way to avoid reading nasty content, but maybe having a filter to block/blur included text/image/videos unless you click it open or something would be nice. Like if you accidentally find a "surprise" on the random sidebar...

Maybe it would be a nice superset to the current +18/NSFW I guess? For example if someone really doesn't want to see a spider and someone else posts a cute picture of one (which is obviously not NSFW but... yeah).

Maybe the idea is too stupid of me. Or if this is already in the works then wonderful!

Mastodon does it really well. I like that the user can include text explaining why the content is hidden which lets the user know if they should engage or not.
