Testing CWs on an image in the actual CW. We've just been informed that the Masto web client converts it into the post body – this was typed into the actual CW field.

@IceWolf yeah that's because vanilla Masto doesn't indicate when there's an image behind the CW

@noiob *blinks* it totally does?

It just has the image exposed-but-blurred.

Follow

@IceWolf oh right

well, the CW doesn't reveal anything in that case

@noiob *nodnods*

It still lets us /recognize it/ as a CW, though. Without that "show more" button, our brain doesn't actually stop to think about what the image might be, it just goes "oh an image" and opens it.

[We hide all images by default.]

@noiob Having that there interrupts our autopilot because when there's a CW there, it's worth thinking about what it actually is, whereas when there isn't it's generally something totally fine [if sometimes overstimulating].
