We have over a period of time gotten repeated reports of unmarked NSFW posts in certain communities. All of these communities share the same singular mod, who have shown indifference when content has been reported. As leaving NSFW posts unmarked is against our instance rules, we have moved to set the rule-breaking communities to hidden.

Those of you who subscribe to hidden communities will continue to see them as normal, for everyone else these communities will look empty and hidden from c/all.

The newly hidden communities are:

We would also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that programming.dev’s policy is to by default hide political communities, pornographic communities and communities hosting bot spam. Users seeking such content can subscribe to hidden communities so see them as normal.

Just recently we also went ahead and hid communities from lemmygrad due to the politics clause.

As always we encourage our local users to report content that break our instance rules. All content you report are seen by the admin team and helps inform the team of what’s going on across the fediverse.

    And you took exception to me saying you were indifferent?!

    I am anything but indifferent when it comes to how to operate my corner of the fediverse.

    But when the problem isn’t mine to solve, yes? Would you expect me to be vegetarian just in case the person next to me in a restaurant doesn’t want to see anyone eating meat?

    We wouldn’t be arguing if you agreed to tag it.

    So start reporting. I have and will consider every report I get. I use both votes and reports to gauge where the line is so as to offend as few as possible. When I do get reports I flip the tag or remove a post until it is tagged, more often than not. And as I keep telling you, I DO TAG THINGS FROM THE START.

    Provided the report is even close to reasonable. Some people seem to think every anime woman is underage or deliberately intended to appear as such, and that all depictions of them are solely for imagining immoral acts.

    Stuff like “shitton of pedo-adjacent crap” and “scantily clad busty teen-style cartoons” makes me pretty sure you are one such person.

      scantily clad busty teen-style cartoons … solely for …

      “mildly arousing”

      This you?

        You’re pulling those two words from the second rule in some of my communities.

        No nudity or especially lewd content, keep things merely mildy arousing.

        Which forbids everything more than mildly arousing, and invites literally everything less than that.

          Can’t help wondering what you’re deleting here.

      Would you expect me to be vegetarian just in case the person next to me in a restaurant doesn’t want to see anyone eating meat?

      I would expect you to put the word “chicken” on your chicken nuggets, and not argue that they had tofu in them or that they belonged in the vegan isle at the supermarket.

        No.

        You’re asking me to label all the drinks as hard liquir, no matter what the actual alcohol content is.

        And I’m telling you some of the stuff doesn’t even contain any, and the stuff that does, has a wide range of percentages.

        • @davidagain
          -3•2 months ago

          Yes, I’m asking you to label all the drinks that contain alcohol with the word alcohol. Just that.

          Everything that’s Not Suitable For Work as NSFW. Simple.
