So let me start off by saying that I recognize that there was initially a genuine problem with people who didn’t want NSFW content being exposed to it.

Some of this was due to the fact that not all content was being correctly flagged as NSFW, and some of it was because a lot of users didn’t realize that individual users can choose to completely block an entire instance - which is not only a very easy and fast solution, but also does not require an all-or-nothing approach of defederating from NSFW instances.

A number of changes were made, but some of those lingering changes have meant that people who do want to see NSFW content are not because:

  1. Even having subscribed to several NSFW subs, they are effectively completely missing from my feed.

  2. Most NSFW thumbnails are blurred.

Both of these behaviors should not be occurring if a user has chosen in their settings to NOT hide NSFW content.

However, I will also say that the blurred state is something that deserves its own user setting (i.e. so that a user can choose to NOT hide NSFW, but still want them blurred or not) - preferably with the granularity to set it for various sub-types of NSFW (e.g. porn, gore, etc…).

  • I’m sure @ernest will add your porn features. He’s the moderator of several porn subs here. But you need to relax dude. This server went from nothing to exploding in a week. There’s one developer and he does this as a side gig. Maybe he’ll pivot to full time now but it’ll take a bit. It you can’t wait, other servers have been built with more porn features. Just use one of those, or use both. But overall, calm your expectations.

    • Tbf, currently it’s a bug that any non-kbin community we’re federated to lists him as the mod automatically. So I wouldn’t assume he’s a horndog from that.

      Otherwise my image of him would be as a WoW-playing nurse who moonlights as a radiologist, lives in a van, has four concurrent personality disorders, gambling/sobriety issues, and a raging anal prolapse, whose hobbies were aquariums, woodworking, every sports team in every country, the American Midwest for some reason, and Ea-Nasir jokes, and I would question where he found the time to jerk off, much less to admin
