   When discussing CWs please understand Mastodon is not the only fediverse project, and different projects have different philosophies and UI around CWs

     no CW whatsoever on GNU social.
     whereas trying to visit your post on your instance, to compare, the only "CW" I get is "must enable JS", so I have no clue whatsoever of what it was supposed to look like

     @silverwizard can you elaborate on how CWs translate in Friendica or other federated platforms?

     @silverwizard @kicou @lxo I saw a pretty good thread on this in the Friendica Support group earlier https://libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-1363-693a-06c4-e40472583363

     @silverwizard isn't it a bit off topic?

     @kicou @darckcrystale Mastodon's biggest features is creating privacy tools that don't federate properly and are often client-side, like their locked accounts, even after the activity pub spec adds features just for them

     @darckcrystale @silverwizard that's good to know. I didn't know CW behaviour was not standardised

     @kicou @silverwizard Pleroma presents them as "title" of a post (like you'd have on an email)

     @kicou @lxo @gnu2 I mean ActivityPub was created to replace OStatus and import good ideas from Mastodon, partially because it has good ideas.
     
     But yeah, I can't find the spot in the activitypub spec, but I recall there being other ways to do it.
     
     I know I tried to use post title as CW and it didn't work and I need to use the Abstract tag to make a CW and I don't fully get it.
     
     But yeah, it's not that Mastodon is the Evil Empire crushing us, it's just that it has weird norms and can be aggressive about enforcing things to conform to its client, but its programmer doesn't conform to the server model.
     
     One of my worst days on here was when I boosted a private status because Mastodon makes Locked accounts not transmit followers-only statuses, so on my client I just saw it as a regular status with no markings making it private.
