@aroom @pixelfed And what would those solutions be exactly?

@bloodaxe @pixelfed content warning has to be specific to the content. the one we have here is far better.

content not suitable to a workspace is really what you want? it's to broad and not relevant anymore.

I agree! I was simply asking because you didn't specify any specific examples of better solutions πŸ˜ƒ

@bloodaxe @pixelfed I don't pretend to have a solution tho. I just find that NSFW is not working for me. It's too broad and thus lose its purpose. That is of course my opinion.

But using CW is one solution, at the very least it's part of a solution πŸ€” It provides more context to what's hidden, without showing the content itself (If used correctly).

I think as we're all adults, we can take our own responsibility for what we do at work.

What do you mean by that? Are you thinking of using the platform at all during work hours, or something else? πŸ€”

Part of the issue with NSFW-stuff is it can pop up in your timeline without you necessarily want it to be there in the first place (like in the local timeline or the federated timeline). And since NSFW means something different for everyone, leaving the filtering to the users can be a legitimate problem.

We do have the option to hide all media content tho πŸ˜„

I think, if you're on the Internet, you should expect to see things you didn't expect.

You can't rely upon, or expect people to sensor themselves appropriately to your needs. It's just not how it works.

If you go to a football match you'll hear people swearing at the top of their lungs.

I thought the entire point of the fediverse is having the ability to tailor the experience to what you want, without anyone telling you what to do? If people managed to, at bare minimum, tag their content correctly, that would be 100% possible with Content Warnings and tag-filters.

@bloodaxe @pete @pixelfed well it’s also up to the server rules of the instance you are using.

On mastodon.social any sensitive content (sexually explicit or violent media) has to be marked as sensitive before posting.

What would be great is if we could have a few categories to be chosen from when we mark content as sensitive. That would let us filter content a bit more easily.

Yes but server choice is also a choice made by the individual. And self-hosting is an actual alternative here, unlike with Facebook, YouTube and similar centralized platforms.

Your idea is a good one though, a step in the right direction πŸ‘πŸ»

@bloodaxe @pixelfed yes but I'm afraid it's too much work. like typing relevant alt text for pictures unfortunately, specifically in pixelfed.

we should try to find a few categories that can easily be selected, but specific.

so we could use those categories to filter our feed. avoid any sexual content, but keep arty nude or whatever. avoid video of people being killed, but keep the video of skaters failing to land a kickflip. or avoid them all together if you want.

@aroom @pixelfed Yes but this assumes that all users of ActivityPub are using the system properly, and that they are not nefarious in their ways. And, as I'm sure we can both agree, humanity is anything but holy, wholesome and considerate in all their ways πŸ˜†

Not to mention: who decides what is sexual content, and what is "artsy nude"?

@aroom @bloodaxe @pixelfed porn, glood/gore/general things that the mainstream would consider obscene. If your aware of the mainstream it shouldn't be that hard to identify what would be nsfw.
