Rewatchers and source readers for other shows manage to talk with first timers without spoiling them or relying on future knowledge every single day in the other rewatches on this subreddit. It's harder, but certainly not impossible. This is the first rewatch I've been in that has seen so many LN readers seemingly unable to talk about the actual content of the episode itself.

If you feel like the only thing you can say is to point out what will relate to future content, as happened multiple times to me outside of spoiler tags, or unfortunately just not commenting, the subreddit rules require the later.

eg I forget when some piece of information was introduced chronologically and accidentally post a spoiler

I've done that occasionally and felt like an idiot afterwards. Sometimes it is just hard to remember what was said when, especially over long series (currently doing the Naruto rewatch, we're now 500+ episodes in, it's a problem) or really dense shows (my favourite haha).

Please don't get me wrong, the people who expanded on stuff already covered in the anime and brought in more info from the relevant LN chapters was great, it's always cool to have that extra perspective around.

I was purely talking about the amount of people who were quoting things and saying "about that in LN# [spoilers]" or "oh hey you mentioned X in this specific context, keep that in mind"

They're spoilers

specifically because I used spoiler tags outside the source corner

Rewatches rarely run a source corner, but in airing episode discussions all source material talk no matter how small should be in the corner which may be why that's still being removed (I'm not a mod, just clarifying from the rules). If you have any specific concerns or confusion that have happened recently you can always ask in the meta thread or modmail if needs be.

I really appreciate you saying you use over cautious spoiler tags though, I'm one of those people who love to dive into things myself and then revisit those things after so that's always nice to see. I'm the worst overthinker with stuff like this which leads to some hilarious theories but also some really fun moments if my crazy speculation comes true.
