Tiny Mastodon Newbie Tip 🐘:

Content Warning (CW) is used quite liberally here. It’s an amazing Mastodon feature! Use it as often as it might be helpful.

You can use Content Warning to hide a toot (post) your are writing that:

- discusses or displays topics that might disturb other users (ex: violence, nudity, mental health, food, etc) ⚠️​

- discusses or displays topics that you think could be annoying or irrelevant to other users (ex: twitter, local politics, very long post, whom-who-shall-not-be-named, etc) 🔕​

- discusses spoilers of a tv show, movie, video game, or book 🤯​

- hides a joke you want to create a special surprise for! ​

HOW TO❓​

1. On desktop, below the toot writing field, click on “CW” in the menu. The button’s icon and label may vary for mobile apps, but it should be there!

2. This will add an extra title field above with “Write your warning here” (or similar label).

3. Write the warning (what people will see) for your toot (ex: “Spoiler Star Trek Discovery Season 10!” or “Discussion of violence:” etc).

4. Write your toot normally in the field “What’s on your mind?” (or similar label) and Publish!

5. People will have to click on “Show More” to see the content of your toot.

6. Magic!✨
