    They have content warnings that can have any text, these are used for everything from NSFW, NSFL, spoilers, joke punchlines and hiding long posts not everyone is interested in. IIRC they were added by popular demand of the large mastodon lgbt community among others and its really became a part of the culture, some instances/circles CW a broader range of topics than others (like selfies or politics) and that’s ok. White a few users say what they CW or request what posts should be CWed when tagging them.

    Ultimately it’s quite a leap from what other sites sites and has an impact on the posting culture, wether it’s right for Lemmy or ChapoChat I don’t know.

    Personally I think it’s a good idea to be aware of how the rest of the fediverse works to be able to decide where compatibility is desired. (unless that’s being left to the upstream devs) Because a lot of features people are asking for, like better NSFW, polls, and other features that might be wanted in the future like image descriptions etc already exist on the fediverse in some form.
