My nightmares keep returning. They take my nights from me, and with them the strength I never manage to restore.

I’m afraid of surrendering to sleep — and of what may greet me when I wake, a fear that leaves a small, steady ache in my chest every day.

Shaun Pinner, a British man who was prisoner of war in #Russia, wrote the following about such stories from RT:
This guy was likely electrocuted and tortured, and now it’s being blasted out on X and Rumble for the audiences in countries that still allow Russian state media to pump this poison in.RT weren’t just bystanders, they were complicit in my torture. They fed my captors the narrative, scripted the lies, and filmed the propaganda that dehumanised me long before any sham courtroom.
Tomorrow’s “narrative” they promote is built on the suffering of people like me. Never forget who they really are. This guy is under duress and will probably say he worked with Elvis if that was their line of questioning.

Real reason: Ukrainian sanctions.

Correct way to do CW on Friendica?
Not that I usually put any warnings on my posts anywhere, or feel I have a reason to, and suspect filtering is far more useful for people who are triggered by certain topics, but I'm a little confused about how to correctly do Content Warning/Notices on Friendica?
The compose editor has a button that says "Content Warning" but it creates an [abstract] BBcode, which when used appears to make that content completely disappear on Friendica (though if you go to "Edit" it will still be there).
The [spoiler] BBcode appears to work like the Content Warnings do on Mastodon, plus you can add to it WHY you are hiding the content. But how do those look on other platforms?
github.com/friendica/friendica…
If I understand correctly, then that's settled. However, the project is initially focusing on the stable release.
@Michael 🇺🇦
Tobias makes a good point in that thread that how am I, as an author, supposed to guess what might "trigger" some random person reading what I wrote? The burden should be on the random person to set up filters so they reduce the likelihood they'll see anything they know might trigger them. Because I can't possibly know that! Which is why I pretty much never use CWs and if someone doesn't like it that's their problem.
I really don't want to join in on that thread, but after reading it I have to wonder why nobody mentioned the idea of using [spoiler] for a CW and leave [abstract] for a summary? Spoiler already collapses on Friendica just like CWs do on Mastodon. It would avoid having to add a network parameter to [abstract] to determine whether it appears as a summary or CW. It seems like an obvious solution to me. Just make spoilers = CW and be done with it?
@Random Penguin @Marcus
The abstract has a history. It was used to create a summary to send to other networks when they had a character limit. This makes sense when a post is 500 or 1000 characters long.
However, the summary can also be what its meaning implies. Friendica will provide both options with Michael's issues.
CW is extremely controversial. Even on Mastodon. The sender cannot know what might trigger someone. That is something the recipient must filter out.
Still, the intention of a spoiler and a CW are essentially the same, to hide content from someone that may upset them, and spoiler collapses on Friendica just like CWs collapse on Mastodon.
If abstract's intention is only as a summary then that should be all it does. Just because it has been used for CWs is no reason to keep using it for that if it doesn't make any sense, which IMO it doesn't.
@Random Penguin
The spoiler works differently
You should not continue reading if you do not want to know the ending of the film beforehand.
Clicca per aprire/chiudere
There is a happy ending.
@Random Penguin
The fact that abstracts are now hidden was Friendica's response to the CW implementation in Mastodon. The spoiler was used instead.
Mastodon took the easy route. The projects responded.
You don't have to like it, and it will be fixed by the issues. But that's the story.
I may have missed something in that issues thread, but it sounded like Mastodon a summary tag converted from a bare [abstract] is now treated as a CW while [abstract=apub] is treated as an actual summary? That's still unnecessarily confusing when the [spoiler] code is right there and literally does exactly the same thing as a CW.
I rarely use CWs even on Mastodon and never use abstracts on Friendica. Anyway, I'm done arguing about it. I really don't care how my posts look on other platforms.
That's a question you should ask those who have misused the feature. Friendica continues to communicate with various networks that have a problem with long texts. I use the summary feature regularly.
[abstract][/abstract] tags. The CW gets seen by others. [spoiler][/spoiler] seems to only work with networks that support more types of content formatting than Mastodon, basically. I.e. in Hubzilla it works, in Lemmy it should work (but it's buggy), in Piefed it should also work but I never checked.
Didn't denim jeans last more than two years, once upon a time? I feel like they did, and that I used them harder when I was younger too.

Dear Fedi friends.
As some of you may know, I have a wonderful daughter Lila who had a severe form of epilepsy at the age of 5 months. This epilepsy is called West Syndrome.
We had to go through a hell of a treatment to stop her seizures. The thing that helped her was called "Synacthene Retard". It's basically ACTH, a synthetic hormone similar to adrenocorticotropic hormone produced by our anterior pituitary gland.
My daughter was one of the last kids who had a chance to get the Synacthene Retard from the lab that produced it (Alpha Sigma). This was late March 2024. And in May 2024 Alpha Sigma said they discontinued this product without ANY public explanation.
I am trying to inquire about the disappearance of Synacthene Retard from French pharmacies. I am looking for contacts of a medical journalist or an expert in pharmaceutics to help me lead this investigation. It may save lives of dozens of other kids with that suffer from West Syndrome. Thank you!
