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.
Discuss.
I just want posts or communities to have category tags for me to block by tag. So I can block all anime and every non-English community.
I have nothing against them. They’re just not of interest to me and I don’t want them on my feed. Blocking a community is mostly useless because there are so many of them it’s like playing whack a mole.
I completely agree… Most of my block list are ‘moe’ communities, and it is only getting longer
There is a proposal to add Tags but devs aren’t really responding. https://github.com/LemmyNet/rfcs/pull/4

Anime girls aren’t real. You won’t be seeing them at the beach.

A live feed of people at the beach would also be not safe for work. I’m certainly not offended by it, but it’s inappropriate for the work environment
TIL there are no jobs at the beach.
Edge cases you think are clever to point out are not the majority of job environments.
This entire thread is the epitome of “internet: serious business”
Well yeah. When you’re in the real world, with real people, at real places of employment, it kinda matters.
Don’t have stupid shit visable on your phone at work. It’s a simple thing to do. If you can’t grasp that concept then that’s a you problem.
It’s common sense.
That’s exactly what I’m saying though. Don’t show your phone to your coworkers if you don’t want them to see it.

Other people can see what’s on your phone when you’re using it. It doesn’t have a magical screen only you can see.
People are not horses, they don’t wear blinders.

Yes. Problem is that NSFW has lost its original meaning to a lot of people. NSFW was originally to hide things that might be controversial to be visible on your screen in a workplace, so it should be fairly conservative. Beachwear would 100% not be safe to look at in a work environment.
But now a lot of places are using it to determine what is safe to look at not in front of your boss, but in front of your kids or in public. That is a much different thing. NSFW flags should not be used to restrict kids from seeing it, just your boss. There needs to be a separate flag for hiding things from kids. And because social norms are different in different societies, there should be even more granularity in the flags. Nudity is just one thing that is NSFW.
NSFW should be reserved for blocking things that I don’t want to suddenly appear on my screen when I’m browsing the Internet on my break at work when I’m allowed to browse the Internet, but it wouldn’t be good for a naked picture to show up on my screen suddenly.
thissssss
Op, if my HR dept saw me scroll by that pic… It would be an annoying conversation. Like while I’ll agree, there’s no nudity… I would get in trouble. I’ve left some chatroom due to this… People just don’t understand that I don’t care but the folks cutting my checks will make a thing of it
The simple solution is to kill the HR department.
But when you suggest that it becomes a whole HR issue.
I prefer to frame it as an HR opportunity
If you’re browsing Lemmy, on your phone, in work then really you should be curating your feed a bit better.
Ding ding ding
When browsing in All or similar, there’s a non-zero chance of coming across things that can be offensive, explicit, or disgusting. You shouldn’t encounter anything pornographic or where people die or get horribly injured, but that is my only expectation.
I browse in thumbnail view for that reason. It’s enough to see if I want to see a full image, if it’s not something I want to see, I didn’t get hit full blast by it, and if it’s something I don’t want people around to see at that moment, it’s much harder for them to see it and faster to scroll past.
When you select a sort that pulls from every community, it’s you asking to see everything. Death, injury, and private parts are about the only things the bulk of society can agree are at least somewhat offensive, so those are the only things you should expect to see blocked by a NSFW filter. Lewd, gross, and offensive are still free to pass, for better or worse. That’s the Internet culture has existed for most of its existence and feels pretty universal in my experience.
I just block the people that post them, and the sub it’s from. I almost never see that shit now.
I do the same but there so fucking many, it seems. Why are people so into the cartoon porn? It’s fucking weird.
Yeah, there seems to be some disconnect with those people. I look at the people’s history before blocking them, and the ones posting that content often have some mental health issues.
Probably resulting from an inability to find healthy love or the feeling of being loved, as most mental health issues seem to stem from.
Love is all we need, and when it’s lacking, shit gets weird.
Half naked? Shes literally wearing a top and bottoms. Yall need to relax
Yeah I am shocked at how puritan this thread feels.
Still clearly not safe for work.
None of Lemmy is safe for work.
When you’re at work you should be working, not wasting time doomscrolling.
Either mark every single post as NSFW, or none of them, same difference.
This is a facetious argument and you know it.
No, I’ve genuinely never seen the point of NSFW tags.
If you’re worried about NSFW tags you shouldn’t be using the resource that might have them under whatever circumstances are making you worry about NSFW tags.
Have some self control, the internet ain’t your nanny, take responsibility for what resources you use and when, don’t try to shift the blame onto the people providing you with said resources (and for free, no less!).
You’ve basically just excluded ninety per cent of the Internet from being used. And it’s not surprising that this is coming from someone with an account on the lemmynsfw instance.
If everyone followed your logic, you wouldn’t even be posting this because your instance would have been defederated a long time ago to not lose users.
I’m excluding 99% of the internet from being used in specific circumstances, sure. Or rather pointing out that it’s the users’ responsibility to do so, since no one else can know what is suitable or not in their current specific circumstances.
If you can’t wait to browse something that might contain something unsuitable for your current circumstances until you find yourself in circumstances where it’s suitable that’s on you, not on whoever is producing or serving said content.
When you’re at work you should be working, not wasting time doomscrolling.
easier with the bootlicking champ. why would you say this to anyone?
Hey, if you don’t want to work, don’t, but don’t blame lemmy when you do something not allowed by whatever contract you signed.
The concept of “not suitable for work” is absurd by definition; if you signed a contract that will get you penalised if you browse a certain type of content, just don’t browse sites which might contain that type of content while you work, it’s not rocket science, just basic self control.
Lemmy and the internet ain’t your nanny, if you’re working you’re hopefully an adult, so be responsible for your own actions and don’t try to switch the blame onto unrelated third parties.
Doesn’t really seem like it. It’s a belly button. It’s not even a provocative or suggestive pose.
Try showing it off at work. Set it as the wallpaper on your work computer and see how “safe for work” it is then.
This would hardly raise an eyebrow. Again, it’s a belly button.
The point is that if you are seeking consensus on this around the most conservative interpretation of the concept, you will likely not find it. You are responsible for curating your own internet experience.
Work culture, especially in the US, is very conservative. The fact that you don’t understand that it’s better to be more conservative here regardless of consensus is astounding. Understand that the NSFW flag is a curation tool. You seem to think it’s a form of censorship. It’s purpose is to deal with the ten per cent on the far end of the spectrum who would take offence. And if your retort is that the majority shouldn’t have to accommodate the minority, that’s just a terminally online opinion that fails to recognise the fragility of real human interaction. It’s analogous to saying that bridge engineers shouldn’t have to accommodate the heaviest ten per cent of vehicles when figuring out what its maximum load should be when accomodating “most” vehicles is enough and that those vehicles should either lighten their load or find an alternate route.
I’m not going to argue with you over this because I don’t believe you have the foundational understanding of why things are what they are.
I work in the US. This is a belly button.
There is no social media that would consider summer clothes NSFW, you are taking it too seriously, it just means “not porn”.
I think if you wouldn’t use it as your wallpaper at work because it is inappropriate for work, that’s NSFW. So yeah at my job that would be NSFW.
If you want to start your path down the reddit rabbit hole, yeah. Else, no
I would personally adhere to US Beachwear rules unless mods specify otherwise.
-
No nipples, exceptions being for explicitly male, of photographs of cultures that generally do not cover breasts, or certain artistic or medical references.
-
No pubic region that reveals any genitalia or anus.
-
There is no third rule, literally anything goes, including the image you were wondering about.
So while some people might object to a lot of the content we see, I don’t personally think it is problematic. Especially when your instance has images collapsed by default, except for thumbnails.
- Gratuirous inages of children not relevamt to the plot
Those don’t require an NSFW tag because they’re actually strictly illegal throughout most of the world. You should report those regardless of if it’s got the correct tags, if not to the moderators then to the authorities.
-
Of course it should. NSFW doesn’t mean too hot to handle. It means, I don’t want coworkers or customers seeing this on my screen, as a matter of professionalism.
I just came in my snuggie, thanks a lot
Yes. All academic points aside, it’s not socially-acceptable to view stuff like this in public.
I would have no problem if that popped up in my feed while I was in a public place.
That said, I don’t think it would be safe for work, so the nsfw would apply. But I would not be browsing Lemmy at work either.
