Masto newbie etiquette question - is it better to CW instance-relevant content (e.g. inflation artwork) or use a hashtag? I’d been putting any commissions behind a CW given they can be seen across instances but it seems overkill to do it for every picture - filtering hashtags makes more sense but don’t want to step on any toes.

@ShezHsky CWs make more sense to me. Just because it’s relevant to your instance and/or doesn’t need CW-ing there doesn’t mean it won’t get federated to other places where a CW is appropriate.

CWs are seen as more of a conditional opt-in than filtering which is a more permanent opt-out, too (e.g. if I look at Masto while at the office).
