 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 itβs 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. @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 π Not to mention: who decides what is sexual content, and what is "artsy nude"? |

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