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

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 😄

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 👍🏻
