Initial confusion
I'm really bad at figuring out what initials mean, so I know TW is trigger warning, but I've also seen CN and CW on here, which seem to be used in pretty much the same way. What do they mean? And are they different from TW?

Re: Initial confusion
Yup, they are used in the same way with the same tags, just more generally. "CN" is "content note" and "CW" is "content warning." Some people feel those are more appropriate, because we're not just warning for people who have literal physical or emotional triggers, but also people who are just not feeling up to reading a certain kind of content on a given day.
I am a literal potato, jumping up and down on my keyboard with my tiny potato feet.
