Do not hide NSFW media/CW'd text in OpenGraph tags #6479

  1. Do not hide NSFW media/CW'd text in OpenGraph tags

    Reasoning: HTML title tag affects everyone. But OpenGraph only affects
    when somebody is deliberately sharing the content, usually in an
    environment where such content is expected. Hiding the content in
    OpenGraph tags results in deceitful previews which inhibit the
    shareability of the post.
    
    Example: Somebody writes a clever post about politics but kindly
    puts a "uspol" content warning on it. Mastodon users are thankful,
    but sharing this post on another platform results in non-Mastodon
    users believing the entire contents of the post is "uspol" and not
    clicking through/reading and re-sharing.
