How I imagine are handling issues right now.

I appreciate y'all not pointing out that these are in fact woolly mammoths. Surprisingly difficult to get Midjourney to do an actual mastodon (below); they get collapsed into elephants.

@TedUnderwood why are there sometimes content warnings on safe images? 🤔 What's the reason for it?

@kyrickyoung I think they're placed by users; there's a culture here of voluntary CWs and marking media as sensitive. I'm still feeling it out and probably being over-cautious, but imo the one useful part is using the CW to abbreviate long posts. 500 chars is a lot!

@kyrickyoung you can also use CWs and sensitive media to do a setup / punchline thing
