Uhh this is just the Mastodon Twitter crossposter, it translates the topic from the posts on that website as "CW: topic"

ahhh that explains a lot

i saw a content warning for the letter "b" and just assumed bs

even if it was a manual cw, it is informing you about its content isn't it? Cws are very different to tws

tru, i dont really know the diff between cws and tws that much

thx for informing me tho

No problem!! Just in case, A trigger warning is meant for the tweet to not be shown to people with the trigger (that's why you mute words) A content warning usually describes the content and if it's something you don't wanna read, you move on (Mastodon has a "read more")

But why wouldn't someone want to read the letter b? Especially when the letter is used so commonly in English. Again, people who don't understand will see this which will feed the fire of not taking content warnings seriously.

i mean if you're not interested in reading smth with the topic being the letter b ig it would make sense (not totally sure tho)

You're reading too much into it, it's just how the crossposter formats the topic
