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.

    This person is acting as if I never mark anything NSFW and don’t care who it affects.

    That’s a straw man. What I claim is that whenever people ask that your NSFW “mildy arousing” pictures of girls are tagged appropriately as NSFW you refuse, that you have a really high bar for what counts as NSFW, that that bar is far higher than most workplaces, and that you simply don’t care and refuse to tag.

    And yes, you are completely indifferent to the effect of your actions on others. Whack-a-mole is the right description of how we have to respond.

    You literally ask for “mildly arousing” content in the sidebar on the link I clicked from elsewhere in this thread, so please don’t make out that that’s a small minority of what you make and promote.

    You don’t address the points about NSFW meaning not suitable for work because you don’t care and you don’t have good points to make about it.

    All this, by your own admission, is because when you tag stuff as NSFW it gets fewer views, as if the internet owes you its eyes. You’re like those irritating ads about meeting attractive women in your area. You don’t care whether it’s appropriate when I’m browsing SFW content, you just want the views.

      I take it you’re referring to rule two in some of my communities. The one that forbids posting content that is more than “mildly arousing”. That is hardly me explicitly asking for content that only falls into that range.

      You act as if upvotes are given involuntarily. As if people upvote things just because it is there.

      Communities grow, content is posted, and upvoted to become more visible, because there are people who want to see and share it.

      This isn’t an advertising platform, or some algo-driven hellscape where pleasing some piece of code somewhere is more important than posting things users actually like. I’m not paying to get more upvotes, I’m literally doing whatever people approve of the most. Deliberately.

      There is absolutely nothing wrong with trying to reach as many people who WANT to see what I’m posting, and nothing you can say about what you think my reasons are can change my mind. I know what my reasons are, and you are simply refusing to believe me.

        You are simply refusing to tag content which is Not Suitable For Work as NSFW, polluting other people’s streams with your “mildy arousing” pictures of young girls.

        And yes, you are completely indifferent to the effect on the wider fediverse of thousands of users because you’re working so tirelessly to meet the untagged fetish of your (checks numbers) 36 upvoters on the post linked above.

        It’s REALLY selfish of you.

          How many more times can you beat this horse? It’s thoroughly dead. Whinging about it as much and as repetitively as you have chosen to makes you seem less “concerned citizen” and more “entitled snot.”

          Finish clutching your pearls, then curate your own feed. And stop expecting everyone else to do it for you. Your sensibilities won’t always line up directly with the world around you, but repeatedly haranguing someone else about it won’t solve matters for anyone.

          If you’re referring to the comment by the admin, they actually linked three posts.

          Their votecounts are 132, 89, and 36. (One of which I flipped to NSFW due to it being pointed out)

          I wouldn’t care if I all I got was one upvote aside from my own. [email protected] is proof of that.

          You might have a point if I were drowning in downvotes and reports. But I’m not.

          But if I were, I absolutely would change how I do things.

            You’re not getting downvoted and reported, you’re getting your communities blocked, as per advice I think you handed out yourself in the “IT’S NOT MY PROBLEM, IT’S YOUR PROBLEM. CURATE YOUR OWN FEED” phase which is why I have to be signed in on lemmy at work, which I’d rather not.

            You might have a point if I were drowning in downvotes and reports. But I’m not. But if I were, I absolutely would change how I do things.

            Whole instances hiding your content because of persistent complaints and you pretend there’s no issue.

            You’ll respond with all kinds of evasions but you won’t accept that you’re polluting the fediverse with your untagged NSFW “mildly arousing” busty teen-style girl cartoons.

            NSFW means Not Suitable For Work. Please use it. Please.

            But no, you are utterly selfish and won’t listen.

            One person upvoting your content justifies everything to you.

            Selfish.

              Please use it. Please.

              Are you missing the part where I literally do?

              Whole instances hiding your content because of persistent complaints

              I’ve gotten reports from exactly one user on programming.dev. I barely get reports in general. Despite consistent daily posting for over a year.

              IT’S NOT MY PROBLEM, IT’S YOUR PROBLEM. CURATE YOUR OWN FEED

              Exactly. My content isn’t offensive, and anything clearly more risque I DO TAG. So if the content isn’t for you, you should block it the same way I block music communities, because I’m not interested.

                “IT’S YOUR PROBLEM”

                Exactly

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

                NSFW means Not Suitable For Work. Please use it. Please.

                Are you missing the part where I literally do?

                Yup. There’s a shitton of pedo-adjacent crap you posted without a NSFW tag. The scantily clad busty teen-style cartoons. You’re right here arguing against tagging it. Yeah, I’m missing you tagging it. We wouldn’t be arguing if you agreed to tag it. WTF?

                Your remark about music communities is so off the point, because, and here’s the thing: it’s fine for work.

                  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.

                    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.
