[Announcement] New set of communities made hidden (programming.dev)

We have over a period of time gotten repeated reports of unmarked NSFW posts in certain communities. All of these communities share the same singular mod, who have shown indifference when content has been reported. As leaving NSFW posts unmarked is against our instance rules, we have moved to set the rule-breaking communities to hidden.

Those of you who subscribe to hidden communities will continue to see them as normal, for everyone else these communities will look empty and hidden from c/all.

The newly hidden communities are:

We would also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that programming.dev's policy is to by default hide political communities, pornographic communities and communities hosting bot spam. Users seeking such content can subscribe to hidden communities so see them as normal.

Just recently we also went ahead and hid communities from lemmygrad due to the politics clause.

As always we encourage our local users to report content that break our instance rules. All content you report are seen by the admin team and helps inform the team of what's going on across the fediverse.

Please use it. Please.

Are you missing the part where I literally do?

Whole instances hiding your content because of persistent complaints

I've gotten reports from exactly one user on programming.dev. I barely get reports in general. Despite consistent daily posting for over a year.

IT'S NOT MY PROBLEM, IT'S YOUR PROBLEM. CURATE YOUR OWN FEED

Exactly. My content isn't offensive, and anything clearly more risque I DO TAG. So if the content isn't for you, you should block it the same way I block music communities, because I'm not interested.

"IT'S YOUR PROBLEM"

Exactly

And you took exception to me saying you were indifferent?!

NSFW means Not Suitable For Work. Please use it. Please.

Are you missing the part where I literally do?

Yup. There's a shitton of pedo-adjacent crap you posted without a NSFW tag. The scantily clad busty teen-style cartoons. You're right here arguing against tagging it. Yeah, I'm missing you tagging it. We wouldn't be arguing if you agreed to tag it. WTF?

Your remark about music communities is so off the point, because, and here's the thing: it's fine for work.

I am anything but indifferent when it comes to how to operate my corner of the fediverse.

But when the problem isn't mine to solve, yes? Would you expect me to be vegetarian just in case the person next to me in a restaurant doesn't want to see anyone eating meat?

We wouldn't be arguing if you agreed to tag it.

So start reporting. I have and will consider every report I get. I use both votes and reports to gauge where the line is so as to offend as few as possible. When I do get reports I flip the tag or remove a post until it is tagged, more often than not. And as I keep telling you, I DO TAG THINGS FROM THE START.

Provided the report is even close to reasonable. Some people seem to think every anime woman is underage or deliberately intended to appear as such, and that all depictions of them are solely for imagining immoral acts.

Stuff like "shitton of pedo-adjacent crap" and "scantily clad busty teen-style cartoons" makes me pretty sure you are one such person.

scantily clad busty teen-style cartoons ... solely for ...

"mildly arousing"

This you?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

You're pulling those two words from the second rule in some of my communities.

No nudity or especially lewd content, keep things merely mildy arousing.

Which forbids everything more than mildly arousing, and invites literally everything less than that.

Would you expect me to be vegetarian just in case the person next to me in a restaurant doesn’t want to see anyone eating meat?

I would expect you to put the word "chicken" on your chicken nuggets, and not argue that they had tofu in them or that they belonged in the vegan isle at the supermarket.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

No.

You're asking me to label all the drinks as hard liquir, no matter what the actual alcohol content is.

And I'm telling you some of the stuff doesn't even contain any, and the stuff that does, has a wide range of percentages.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 3 months ago

Yes, I'm asking you to label all the drinks that contain alcohol with the word alcohol. Just that.

Everything that's Not Suitable For Work as NSFW. Simple.
