@developers
there was a recent CW discussion on mastodon and diving into the context of it it looks to me like it's just a spoiler, even more from the coding point of view.
federating spoilered content from mastodon shows up as "content warning", couldn't that wording just be changed to "spoiler" or "content"?

@jesuisatirebitpickup What is a "spoiler" from a coding point of view?

@jesuisatirebitpickup "Content warnings" are exactly what they are called, it's a short list of potentially upsetting themes developed in the post. Content warnings can include spoilers, but the opposite isn't true. There is little sense to have a "spoiler" about US politics or child abuse for example.

something like a window that opens and closes, displayes and hides?
with coding I only mean "not human readable" aspect.
"warning" is a human readable aspect that leads to confusion,actually we are used to nsfw as "warning", at least I do.

@jesuisatirebitpickup Because the abstract is used to shorten posts on various post connectors. For ActivityPub, it fills the Summary property of a post, which is interpreted as a content warning on Mastodon, the most popular platform (by far!) of the Fediverse.

In my opinion there is way to much talk about what I as a poster have to do to publish in a proper manner and way to less talk about the filter and blocking features our systems have.
It's literally impossible to avoid triggers or the trigger of the moment.
For me CW is just an input space and can have depending on user and culture several use cases.
First of all hashtags and standard words should be used in my opinion to enable people to sort and safespace their stream.
Why is it that friendica uses the term "abstract", there is no "warning" in that term?

@jesuisatirebitpickup Because of this popularity, we treat summaries from ActivityPub posts as Content Warning because there are 99% chance it was the actual intent.
These Content Warnings can be disabled in the user settings where they are turned into post titles without triggering a post content collapse.

Why not call it abstract than?
