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.
