NSFW stands for “not safe for work” - the label literally exists so that users know what to avoid to make the service usable at work without risk of getting fired over it.
And why wouldn’t you want to use it at work? Breaks are a thing, many people try to spend them trying to recharge by doing something that takes them out of the work mindset for a bit, and Lemmy is perfect for that.
Yes. It’s not really exclusively about work, though. It applies to families, public transit, anywhere someone might see your screen. It’s not a nudity or gore tag, but a sort of inoffensively presentable content tag. The office screen mentality is just a good way to get the right idea across.
Also, “better safe than sorry” is a good mentality. It’s better to over tag than under.
The core of it is avoiding drama at work, but yea it can be useful in other situations too. Suggestions to add a not-safe-for-life tag have been around since basically the day after NSFW become a thing cuz people do want some nuance.
Like, I can fire up a video of russian invaders getting blown to bits in Ukraine while sitting in the breakroom and while it might not be the most tasteful content, it’s not going to get me fired; but most of those are tagged NSFW anyway just as a general content warning.
Gotta make due with the tools we’ve got. I’d definitely be in favor of adding a NSFL option to cover the gore - I don’t want surprise titties on my screen in the middle of the breakroom, but if Karen finds something on my screen distasteful that isn’t forbidden by actual policy, then she can go ahead and look away.
You have to be 18 to access lemmy.world (which this thread is on) per Rule #3 of their ToS BTW. That’s technically still a teenager so maybe you are of-age, but wanted to mention it.
So, What .world gonna ban me? They don’t have any proof that I am a teenager or just 40 Year Old Man who was roleplaying as a teenager on Internet? Who knows? Banning is also pointless I can create 10 different account on Lemmy. So they can’t make me stop using Lemmy. It’s already been 1.5 Years now. I had a account .world at first then I moved to lemm.ee.
But, I never understand. Why would anyone use Lemmy or any social media at work? I am Teen. So, really asking.
