FWIW CWs on politics toots started cuz we generally always did just shitpost on the PTL but the moment someone brought up your orange president it would bring the whole timeline down.
You know, like on birb site? But if we all did the cw thing you wouldn't have to leave every five hours so you wouldn't hit your head on the wall, like on birb site.

@plsburydoughboy thanks that's helpful. I don't think Mastodon is for me. But it's good to have clear info.
@plsburydoughboy
I think I understood the gist of what you were saying but the acronyms CW and PTL evade me.
Could you expand them for me?
