Did you by any chance have a sensitive attachment in the post? I noticed that Megalodon (our conversion layer) will send an unsupported empty CW if sensitive is set without spoiler_text.

No, it was just a note without any attachments

ok cool, then it's probably the other thing. Here's a PR that should fix this, though I can't 100% test as I don't use the Masto API. !929 (merged)
