There certainly are specific things that we all need to have a trigger icon used. Anything mentioning suicide/suicidal ideation, abuse, etc etc. The most important thing to remember is to use your best judgement when it comes to using the trigger icon. If you don't use it and there is something triggery in the post, very often a member will let a team member know and we'll go in and put the trigger icon on the post.

We couldn't possibly know what triggers everyone. We must all do our best to manage our triggers here, as we do in real life. Many times, what triggers one doesn't trigger all. It's always best to err on the side of caution and if you have even an inkling that what you are posting about may be triggering to someone, go ahead and use the icon
