A lot of people use "subjects" as content warnings, since this is what Mastodon and Misskey uses that field for.

Historically, upstream has been quite reluctant to treat subject lines as such, which has resulted in posts with them being expanded by default (unless the user or admin configures it otherwise).

I think posts with subjects should just be collapsed by default since this is in line with most people's expectations.

Why is it that pleroma still treats this as a "subject" field? Old legacy?

it's technically in line with the AP spec that it's a subject field

but everyone indeed uses it as a CW

is it not already default to collapse? i don't think i've ever had to turn that on explicitly but i might be wrong there
