NSFW images should be blurred by default
NSFW images should be blurred by default
Although I would like to NSFW content in my timeline, I think its better to have them blurred by default and only visible if I click on it. And any such post from NSFW subreddits should also be blurred by default. Saying this because I noticed a post from a NSFW subreddit in the front-page and it was displayed without any blurring. I can anticipate this leading to potentially awkward situation otherwise, especially when browsing the site during a slow day at work.
You're viewing part of a thread.
I thought about that too this morning. We have the chance to redefine different "NSF"-tags instead of just having one. I don't mind seeing "light" NSFW content, but it might not be the best idea to open porn on my workplace PC or when i sit in a train. I also don't mind seeing most NSFW content in private, but i really don't need to see traumatizing stuff.
I propose the following:
- Nudity/Porn
- NSFL (potentially traumatizing, death, gore etc.)
- NSFW (other stuff that doesn't fall in those categories, like people fighting, puke, slight injuries)
- Spoiler
of course, there will never be 100% agreement about what content fits to what category, but that's always been the case and can be discussed in the comments.
To add more; we can even add comment tags so that we don't have to use things like "/s" and instead have a clear thingy that says [Sarcasm], even if it sounds silly, people already use tone indicators so this just simplifies the whole thing. No relation to NSFW but similar.
I know
Redditthe hive mind usually hates emojis but I think a lot of the tone indicators you wish for could be solved by people using them more commonly.Emojis have a long history on the internet. It doesnt seem so long ago that every forum post ended with some form of 😎
I think most people dont mint them, its just when they real obnoxious obviosuly troll levels with 15 in a row mid sentence
Having been though stuff like l33t speak where everyone was T3h ep1c H4x0r, emojis really aren't that bad as long as your post doesn't become a hieroglyph. Even then, it's just a different spin on what people have been doing since the internet was a thing
Tbh I miss being able to use them sometimes. It's really only reddit where I've seen people lose their minds over an emoji.
Be the change you want to see Bud 🖖
