Why doesn't Friendica show me my own content warnings, or abstracts as they're called in Friendica ?
See this - social.trom.tf/display/dbc8dc4…

Huh, I can see the the abstract as a content warning from mastodon, but here on Friendica it doesn't even show me there is a content warning on that post. Th...

@hoergen Yes I notice that its shown correctly when I open that post in a different browser where I'm not logged in to friendica. So I believe this issue only happens with your own posts, I'm able to see other people's content warnings/abstractions from mastodon but can't see it in my own posts.

It's deliberate, we assume that you shouldn't have to click the content warnings on your own posts.

@Hypolite Petovan @hoergen That seems like a weird choice to me, because it doesn't allow users to preview their posts and see how it looks to other users. Also abstractions are not always content warnings, they can be used for other things.

I understand that some users may want to hide their own CWs/abstractions from themselves, but I wish this was an opt-in setting or something, currently I have no way to change this behavior.

For abstracts, they change the way posts look on remote systems, there's no easy way for us to show you all the ways it's going to look on target platforms. Same with content warnings that we do not support nor encourage on our own platform. There is a workaround but that's pretty much how far we'll go on this particular feature.

@Hypolite Petovan @hoergen But other friendica users are able to see the content warnings on my post right ? It would be nice if I can see the same thing. I'm not asking to add any particular feature, abstractions are already supported, its just that user's can't see their own abstractions which is kinda weird.

I'm not even sure other Friendica users see your content warnings as such. I know Mastodon users do, which was the goal of the workaround.

Thanks for testing! They didn't use to work back when we were still using Friendica's original protocol to communicate between Friendica nodes, but since we switched to ActivityPub for this type of communication I guess we adopted the behaviors we came up specifically for Mastodon.

@Hypolite Petovan @hoergen Yeah, thanks for adding this feature BTW. Not being able to preview it is my only problem, the feature itself is rock solid 👍

This is a downside of adopting ActivityPub as our main transmission protocol, the content warning workaround is now the default behavior for Friendica as well.

@Tobias @Michael Vogel @Hypolite Petovan Maybe its better to allow users to choose this for themselves. Some users may prefer to see their own abstracts, this improves consistency and would also work as a preview. Some other users may want to hide their own abstracts like the above message explains. So letting the users choose for themselves might be a good idea 🤔

Not sure, it depends what you mean by "profile page". Is it your profile page on your local node where you signed up or your profile page on any remote server who knows about you and your posts?
