I’m seeing long-time Mastodon folks asking people to please PLEASE use CW on posts about political topics and then I’m seeing almost no one actually do that. It’s so important to keep up with the culture of this space that was established long before many of us got here. Just use the CW!!

@sophie Newbie here - what's CW?

@trevor When you write a toot, there are little icons below. One of the icons is "CW." It stands for content warning. You can write a headline or topic and then folks can choose whether to open your toot to read the rest of what you've written. It's also a great way to give a heading to a long toot that not everyone might care to read. Think "above the fold."

@ELS @trevor I have nothing saying CW I do have a shield icon with an exclamation mark. I assume that’s it ?

@3wombats @ELS @trevor correct. On my Android device it's a speech bubble with ! inside it.
