Working on private messages in #Smithereen and I'm wondering how much sense CWs make for them. From Mastodon's PoV, "private messages" are just posts. They thus share all the same properties. In my implementation, however, messages are distinct from posts, both in the UI and in the database. In my UI I don't have anywhere to display that content warning as a spoiler without it being super awkward. I can use it as a subject line however 🤔

Any thoughts?

Gregory, yeah, I mean, what is that for? Some AI examines post/message content and hides it under the spoiler if it may be not safe for work or something like that?

@afaians you're supposed to add them yourself. As in, half the fediverse would block you if you post porn without a CW on it.

Gregory, ah, I wouldn't care much about anyone blocking me for anything I post. But spoilers are ok in IM, I use it in Telegram sometimes to actually hide spoilers.
