Discord's technology currently doesn't help much when it comes to content filtering, so the gene/eye spoilering is basically a cultural bandaid for it. I don't blame people for trying to make it a thing for their own sanity. This sense of responsibility does indeed lock me out of the bigger servers too. I also forget what to spoiler and fear social shaming.
I have ideas for what Discord's development team needs to implement to lighten the individual responsibility for spoilering content. I will list them if it's relevant to the conversation here.
I disagree with your 'moral weight' comment btw; individual people shouldn't have to weigh whether something is unpleasant enough for them to not have to interact with it. Maybe what you mean is that censoring niche/SFW triggers and phobias for everyone encumbers people who don't need those warnings.
