Comment on NSFW on Lemmy

  Thanks for duding me

  You have not read or don’t understand the OP. This is about communities like my example in the OP, which many would not consider NSFW, but is on the touchy side of a bunch of other people. The communities don’t want the NSFW tag, but the users who want the ability to filter out the soft NSFW stuff.

    There is a soft tag built into the post itself: the title. It says “Ikkitousen.” If you know what Ikkitousen is, you know it’s an ecchi anime. If you don’t know what Ikkitousen is, you have to decide for yourself if the post is worth opening blind. On an anime community it should come as no surprise that people would post characters from ecchi (and not necessarily hard-defined NSFW) characters.

    Though I don’t disagree with your suggestion for having more user control, the root of this is entirely a personal problem that others shouldn’t be expected to accommodate for you. Go into your display settings and turn off thumbnails and be self-policing in what links you click on.

    “but is on the touchy side of a bunch of other people.”

    i get that you’re trying to make a point about what content should or shouldn’t be tagged as nsfw, but at some point you have to accept that this is the internet.

    no place is ever going to cater to anyone’s exact standards of what is and isn’t “appropriate”. and while there are communities that don’t want to conform to using nsfw tags, I have a /all that is completely devoid of any nsfw content. which is what you have specifically mentioned in your other comments in this thread.

    the responsibility is on you to curate your own feed to your own specifications. and its not even a difficult process. it just takes a bit of time.
