something i've noticed is people not #CW'ing the preview images from links they're posting.

please make sure you hide brutal or, idk, nazi imagery from the articles you're linking. thanks.

@venetiana :heart_sp_bi: If it was possible for everyone in the Fediverse to know beforehand with 100% certainty which image Mastodon will use as the preview image.

I mean, unlike Mastodon users, I do have a preview feature for post drafts over here on Hubzilla. But I can only preview posts the way they'll look like on Hubzilla which doesn't have link previews. I can't have Hubzilla generate a preview of how the same post will be rendered by Mastodon.

All I can do is send the post as-is, wait for it to be federated to some Mastodon instances and look for it there. However, the moment my post hits Mastodon, it's too late, the damage is done, and it can't really be undone.

Sometimes Mastodon picks my profile picture as a link preview out of the blue if I don't have any links in a post. I'd have to put a "CW: eye contact" content warning and the hashtags #EyeContact #CWEyeContact on every last one of my posts, at least those with no links, to be on the safe side.

If this happens in a comment, i.e. any kind of reply, there's nothing I can do anyway. Hubzilla doesn't provide any means for adding a summary (= a Mastodon content warning) to a comment. All I can do then is add hashtags for people to filter and hope not too many people will block me for something that they don't know I can't prevent from happening.

@jupiter_rowland if you're posting a link to, say, a grisly news article, one would assume you know what's in it. it's not necessary to be 100% certain if the 1 image the preview will contain needs a particular CW or not. if you *know* the article features one or more images that most definitely need a CW, you can use one regardless.
