Reminder to please CW anything to do with politics and particularly “look at the awful things these right-wingers are doing”. Being able to choose when and how to engage is important and makes a big difference to the overall mood of the timeline.

And please don’t boost politics posts with no CWs either - I’ve been seeing a lot of that recently from new arrivals

@ghost_bird What is CW?

@systemsbiology @ghost_bird content warning. It’s a really cool feature in here that allows your readers to choose whether to view something or not.

@thinkStory @systemsbiology @ghost_bird do you write content warning or is there a setting you use? Thanks for the guidance!

@jackiegardina @thinkStory @systemsbiology There’s a “CW” button on the posting interface, in the row above the “Toot!” button. Just select that and enter something appropriate in the field that opens up. Common abbreviations include uspol/ukpol/frpol for US, UK, and French politics, mh for mental health, and (+) or (-) for positivity or negativity. But don’t worry too much about the details - just find a style that works for you

@ghost_bird @thinkStory @systemsbiology sorry to be thick/slow. How do I create that?
