Mastodon vs BlueSky (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by Vcio@lemmy.world to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

How is you experience using them ? (I know BlueSky is invite only, but perhaps someone got lucky) I registered in Mastodon recently and i'm getting the same feeling(and problems) when started using lemmy.

what is a CW? I'm new to mastodon

[-] DarkFox@pawb.social 7 points 1 year ago

CW stands for "Content Warning". It's a feature that allows users to hide their posts behind a warning message.

Some commonly used CWs include NSFW, Politics, Mental Health (Some times shortened to "MH", often with a +/- depending on sentiment), Spoilers, Food, Alcohol/drugs, and flashing GIF/video.

Can you also unhide certain tags, I can see the value but at some point without that feature it could get really annoying.

The glitch-soc fork of Mastodon allows you to show or hide specific tags, yes.
