I’m talking about this sort of thing. Like clearly I wouldn’t want someone to see that on my phone in the office or when I’m sat on a bus.

However there seems be a lot of these that aren’t filtered out by nsfw settings, when a similar picture of a woman would be, so it seems this is a deliberate feature I might not be understanding.

Discuss.

    I claim that it’s quite clear that this is not suitable for work. HR are not going to get cross with me for browsing memes in my lunch break on my phone, but if this comes up, it’s clearly not OK, and I don’t think I’m at all unusual in having a work environment like that.

    I’m just asking that we try to use Not Suitable For Work to mean not suitable for work. You might feel that my workplace is weird, but that’s not what you’re arguing, so I think you’re kind of missing the point of the tag. Yay internet freedom and all that, but tagging something that’s very likely to get someone in trouble at work as NSFW is just being a considerate person. That’s all. People are still free to see it, but it gives them the freedom to choose to filter it out and use their phone when they’re on a break at work.

      Again, I think you’re on the wrong site at work then. Lemmy is not suitable for your workplace and you’re asking us to make it suitable for your workplace.

        You can say I shouldn’t be on social media at work as much as you like, but until you’re writing my pay cheques, it doesn’t mean anything. We lead different lives, you and I. I’m sorry that your work doesn’t allow you down time at lunch, but try not to hate on me for working at a place that does.

        All I’m asking is that folks use the Not Suitable For Work tag on things that are not suitable for work. I just don’t see that as a particularly big or bad thing to ask.

        What makes you so keen to see this stuff at work anyway?

          I didn’t say that. And I am completely allowed on social media at work. But that image wouldn’t get me any heat for being on my phone. You are not the authority on what is and is not suitable for all work places and I’m glad that’s the case because your aim is to create a more censored internet. Just because you are sexualizing that anime woman, does not mean we all need to.

            But the NSFW tag isn’t censorship, it’s filtering. You can turn off NSFW filtering in your settings. You can unblur it all. J

            ust because your workplace is happy for you to browse scantily clad women, doesn’t mean most workplaces do. We’re not all the same as you.
