Someone give me a long list of communities to join and which ones to avoid. I don’t wanna be near the tankies. Thank you!

    “If the 65 year old HR worker would take a second glance, it’s Not Safe For Work.”

      But, I never understand. Why would anyone use Lemmy or any social media at work? I am Teen. So, really asking.

        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.

        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.
