Content warning: PSA: Please CW your article links if the article has triggering images (auto-thumbnails suck 😡)
Guess what. Mastodon by default embeds article images inside the post as a preview.
I just happened to see an article with a rather triggering image that now I can't boost because the image is too triggering for some people, even if the post itself was not.
Alas, I can't boost that post now.
Earlier this week I shared a link to a medical article and surprise! Gore!
But add a CW to your posts, and by magic all images are now blurred.
Ever since whoever decided to auto fetch images inarticle preview cards, I can't share links without CWs anymore.
Moral of the story:
If you link an article with potentially triggering images (racism, medical, bugs, etc.) in it, please add a CW to your post.
