Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

You seem to be really cross about people wanting to use the completely optional Not Suitable For Work filtering and/or blurring features to help them curate their feed to make it Suitable For Work.
I think you need to realise that not everyone on the internet has the same priorities as you, and if you want to only browse lemmy away from work and you want to see things folks consider NSFW then that's great - go ahead. Absolutely fine. Just tick the boxes on your settings and then it literally doesn't affect you at all. You can hand-curate your feed to your heart's content.
But please let those of us who want to use the optional NSFW feature use it in peace and please stop shouting at people who disagree with you.
We're on a thread about whether certain pictures should be marked “NSFW” or not.
A subject on which, as is both obvious to anyone who doesn't have their head up their own arse and evidenced by this very same thread, no agreement is possible. An objective demonstration of why this tagging nonsense not only doesn't work, but can't possibly ever work.
You might as well be discussing about whether it's better to use the western horoscope or the Chinese one to decide which threads are “suitable for work”.
And I'm sorry, but this kind of wilful stupidly just fucking irks me to no end.
I don't get your problem. You like to filter by community or whatever, and I like to use the NSFW filtering. We're different. Why get cross about it?
