#cws seem to me (and I’m probably showing my age here) just like the old #LiveJournal “cut” feature, albeit not quite as flexible but much easier to use as they don’t require weird custom markup.
There once was a spaceman called Musk,
Who hollowed the bird to a husk,
We migrated and flew,
To find friends old and new,
And now we are fans of the tusk 🦣

Having been here since 2016, I can tell you there is definitely no such thing as a consensus on usage of content warnings on the fediverse.

Just boosting that Arkanoid II music reminding me I have all the levels from the first 2 games and one of the later games loading in a #SpectrumNext project with all new SpectNext graphics. I did them a while back. Expect a bunch of projects to be reactivated when my Next arrives, errrm, next year :) Just a few of the baddy sprites missing and the engine to pop in.

Wait, Kwarteng warned her *after* the mini-budget? The one he wrote and that crashed the economy?
