If you do drugs I would say that alcohol must be too, why one and not the other?
Just censor everything- it’s the internet after all and someone will be offended
An NSFW tag isn't censorship, it's a warning for people at WORK. if you don't use it for what it's for, that's not working people problems, that's your fault.
Yeah. Or that was the original meaning like 15 years back. Now there are hide nsfw settings in most clients and some of them where thats the default
Which you can easily turn off if you don't browse Lemmy at work.
Just because you don't use the tag for its intended purpose doesn't mean everyone doesn't. The tag has a clear purpose, denoted by what it stands for. Most people with adult jobs understand its purpose. Don't ruin the tag's purpose for the rest of us by devaluing it
That tag covers a lot of different things. This has been debated on reddit for 15 years, with no progress on other types of tags. It’s the only one, so while it says “work” it includes stuff a lot of us don’t need/want in general. It’s there to censor stuff
It isn't censorship if you can just turn it off and see everything. It's a warning for people who want to browse at work but not view content that can get them in trouble
Just turn it off and ignore it if it doesn't apply to you. The rest of us want the tag to be used for its purpose.
You base this on some sort of research into usage of nsfw tagging or just pull shit out of your ass?
Yes, my experience with websites over the past few decades.
NSFW stands for "not safe for work." What do you think it means? It's pretty straightforward in its meaning.
You probably shouldn't doom scroll at work anyway.
This. I don't know why people have such a hard time with the idea of sticking to curated spaces when they are at work or in public.
The NSFW tag is part of the mechanism to curate the feed.
I'm not sure why people get offended by people wanting to use social media but not wanting to view content that can get them fired. If the content doesn't bother you, then you shouldn't filter NSFW content. It's not like the NSFW tag is censoring the content and preventing you from seeing it if you click it.
For people with jobs, why not make it easier to filter the things that companies don't like? It doesn't affect you any.
Unless you work as a doom scroller. But even then it can be dangerous and offending. Censor that too
Drugs in general is an overreach, but personally I think someone actively using a needle should be flagged. Regardless of what the needle is used for.
Public advertisements depict people getting vaccines and other shots. Thats a weird stance, when you could view that anywhere accidentally, not even online.
Newspapers, news channels, etc, all depict pictures and videos of people getting vaccines.
Why are you following me around?
What? These comments are all in the same post, I could ask you the exact same thing in few comments in this post lmfao.
This is even in a chain you responded to me first? The fuck…?
