Hey guys, it was brought up in a report that NSFW tags should be applied to posts depicting drug use. What do you guys think? I could see it either way and thought you guys might like to weigh in on it. I personally don’t find it particularly offensive but my work environments have never been the type to react strongly to something like this popping up on screen (I think they might be more upset about being on Lemmy at all). Currently there is no rule, and I am fine with that, unless feedback indicates the community would rather play it safe and require the NSFW flag.
NSFW has typically been used for things that are visually disturbing, like gore and sexually explicit materials. Using it for ideas that aren’t safe for work feels like it would devalue the tag.
The tag is for warning people browsing at work not to click… Using it to prevent someone from clicking on a post that would be unacceptable to read at the workplace is exactly what it’s for
It’s not like it’s censorship, it’s just a warning tag.
It also hasn’t been used literally for a very long time.
I would hazard a guess that this was brough up in reference to a meme on this board showing a close up of someone snorting a line of white powder. I can completely understand why that might not be considered suitable for all places and audiences.
Possibly, but a workplace where even a joke about drug use would be an employment issue would be pretty unusual.
Some people can’t drink at work, the double standards of people is hilarious.
Looking at pictures of beer or people drinking is no different.
I think you’ll find that’s most people actually.
Lots of places have beer fridges, or let their employees hit the bar for lunch or wine and wine clients on the company dollar.
The hell you talking about?
You done stalking me yet?
