Another note for new #TwitterMigration folks like me: social norms here are that we don’t censor names like “Musk.” It shouldn’t be necessary, because full-text search isn’t really a thing and trolls are actually moderated.

If content is potentially offensive, put it behind a CW, but don’t “c*nsor” it because this breaks people’s filters (i.e., prevents them from being able to mute words).

@tkinias heavens! Newbie here. What’s a CW, and how do I put a post behind one? Is there a primer I can read?!!

The CW button where you toot from. If you select it, a space will show up above the toot area for you to add a content warning or description. when people see it in their time line they can select 'see more' if they want to see what's in the toot.

@tkinias @katherine_montalto @AvisHG "Toot" is Mastodon-ese for "post". You can think of it as equivalent to "tweet", as both verb and noun.
