I’m not sure if this is the right place for a discussion, or if I should rather open an issue at Codeberg.

Anyways, some bold soul posted the first link on @nsfw, which I saw browsing All. It was properly tagged as 18+, but the cropped thumbnail already showed some explicit content.

My proposal would therefore be to blur at least the thumbnails in 18+ posts. I’m not sure how to handle this with federated stuff from e.g. Lemmy, as I have no idea if posts from there can even be tagged 18+.

What does everyone think?

    fwiw, I’m also not a huge fan of the conflation of “NSFW”, “18+”, and “adult content”. A separation between NSFW and 18+ would be a good compromise with 18+ being more prone to discretion than NSFW: NSFW is what you might now want showing up at work, whereas 18+ is what you wouldn’t want others to see on your phone or in other informal situations.

    This way, people might also be more likely to flag something as NSFW without feeling like they’re being prudish since there are more granular visibility settings.
