Gregory's Server@xkcdbot why are there content warnings on this post? And what are they for?

@raineer @xkcdbot ok that makes sense, thanks! The only issue is that in the mastodon apps I use, it looks like the entire post is under a CW, not just the image, so the xkcd alt-text is hidden/revealed at the same time as the image, so it doesn’t really help. Though I guess it hides it from notifications… |
@spencer @xkcdbot xkcd always has interesting alt-text, which is best enjoyed after seeing the comic.
Hiding it in a CW is one way to handle it. You could do it as the actual alt text to the image, but then blind folks miss out on a description.
