I’m talking about this sort of thing. Like clearly I wouldn’t want someone to see that on my phone in the office or when I’m sat on a bus.

However there seems be a lot of these that aren’t filtered out by nsfw settings, when a similar picture of a woman would be, so it seems this is a deliberate feature I might not be understanding.

I mean it should be fairly obvious, but sometimes a person is at home while browsing, and might like to see these. Other times they are at work while browsing and could actually get into trouble for viewing them

This is about the "not safe for work" tag, isn't it?

If you wanna browse at work, use a different account then? As others said, 'NSFW' is applied differently by different people (I don't think the example provided is NSFW, it's skimpy, but not lewd), at some point you have to have some self responsibility.

and sometimes you have to accept that other people want to use the Not Suitable For Work filter as designed. If you don't like it, you can turn it off in settings.

But I think it would be an unusual workplace that would find this suitable to be on my phone screen in the canteen.

And it would depend on the workplace too, there's a lot of ambiguity, which is why you should just be responsible. If there's a risk an anime tummy might appear on your screen, then just don't browse on here at work.

Alternatively, just tag things not suitable for work as NSFW. Simple.

Well, there's your problem. What in fuck's name are you doing wasting time on lemmy when you should be working..?

And, if for some unconscionable reason you need lemmy for work and your IT aren't competent enough to have blocked it in the company firewall, just make yourself a work-specific user and browse by subscribed (though if you really needed it for work you'd almost certainly be going to specific communities anyway, not to the aggregated views...

Why get cross with people who want to use the Not Suitable For Work filtering at work? If you don't like it, turn it off. It's in settings. No one's forcing you to use lemmy the same way other users do.
