Using flags such as NSFW on non-NSFW posts devalues the flag, which means that next time I might actually unblur something when I shouldn’t have because I assumed it was an incorrect flagging.
No, not at all. I’m just saying that you’re putting unnecessary restraint on yourself. It MIGHT also be detrimental because a lot of people will avoid the post because they don’t want to see, idk, boob or vageen or peen or a plate of broccoli (because they’re in public). But that’s your decision.
It doesn’t feel like restraint to me, just an extra note for the benefit of anyone who happens to be at a workplace like mine where a big expletive on the screen might not be the best thing when the boss walks by. I do appreciate your perspective, though.
What job do you have where your boss would care and you would get in trouble for the word “Fuck” appearing on your screen where you wouldn’t get in trouble for just browsing Lemmy in general?
This has always felt like a solution in search of a problem to me.
I mean, this text is, what, a few centimillimetres tall at best, I wouldn’t be able to read that “bullshit” without lurking on your shoulder. If your boss watches what you read that closely, you maybe shouldn’t be on Lemmy at work, no?
… or maybe you use absolutely massive screens at work. Like, billboard size? I want that job. 👀
Hey, why are you simping for the corporate takeover of the internet? Self-censoring in fear that the big bad Google or Meta will get mad at your no-no words and take them down. Fuck them. They are trying to sanitize the internet to make it more appealing for ads. Don’t help them.
Holy fucking shit, did you just fucking curse on the internet. Eveyone know you cant fucking do that without the internet police coming to your home to beat your ass. Never fucking do that again you shit
…you can fucking curse on the fucking internet, asshole! What fucking kind of shitty bullshit do you think will happen if you piss off some cocksucking dickhead by saying shit?
Here, I’m going to do this shit for you. Just for you, I’m going to curse for you on the god damned internet. Get ready for this shit. Are you ready for me to fucking curse? Ok. Here we go!
ok sure but that doesn’t mean it’s appropriate for all people in all situations. you’ll notice that they did, in fact still post it - they didn’t censor it. they just tagged it NSFW.
there’s been plenty of times when I’m bored at work, and could totally get away with browsing whatever on lemmy; but I don’t feel like having a conversation with HR because someone walks by my desk. I’d much rather know there’s something here that might offend someone (even if it doesn’t offend me, or you personally for that matter).
You can curse online if you want to! You can curse at your friends online! Because friends all curse, and if they don’t curse, well they’re no friends of mine!
Why nsfw?
The word “bullshit.” I usually like to err on the side of caution with this stuff.
No need here. Fuck, shit, piss, Satan, broccoli, gay butt sex.
In that order, or is there some flexibility here?
I’m here for the gay broccoli Satan personally
Bottoms need a ton of fiber to keep the way clear.
Go abso-fudging-lutely wild.

It doesn’t. If you’re interested, you can look at the other comments where OP and I are having a conversation.
Does the NSFW marker take something away from this for you?

Where in the world was I whining?

I will never understand this.

I was expecting boobs. but was surprised by PCC.
had a hearty chuckle when I realized all the PCC haters were going to click on it too and get mega triggered.
And of course, you wade in to defend your damsel’s honour, as you always do.

you should’ve just censored the word and then let everyone complain about that, it means more engagement
