@technomancy Sorry to ask but what does CW mean? It is early morning here. It might dawn on me later but right now I can't think very well. :)

@nedrasol @technomancy it means content warning. If someone doesn't want to read the answer, don't show the content. If you want to read along, click it away and go on reading. I'm quite new here too, but that's what I already found out :)

@oe7drt @technomancy Ah! Now I see it, beneath the post "box". Thank you!

They work like this. We use them quite liberally here, not just for things that will definitely trigger other people but to help other people curate what they want to see. For eg you'll often see CWs on posts that are really long, sometimes people will CW shitposts etc

@nedrasol Content Warning. It's a way to label things that are potential triggers for people, or are NSFW, or not appropriate for children, or spoilers, so people can choose what they expose themselves to. @technomancy

@nedrasol I was just about to ask this so thank you!

@nedrasol @technomancy content warning, it looks like a speech bubble on tusky, and just the letters CW if you use the web interface when tooting. Takes a little bit of trying and testing to figure it out, but it's not too hard.
