A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

It's a fucking waste of everyone's time, is what it is.
The definition of “safe for work” is entirely subjective and will vary from one user, place, and time to another.
The only ones with the information to decide whether to tag something as suitable or not are the users, and even our own opinion on what is and isn't suitable will depend on where we are and what time it is.
There is no possible objective consensus on what to tag or not, and there can't be, so tagging will never work for the vast majority of users.
Do you know what does work, though, with 0% chance of failure..?
If you aren't 100% sure that a site won't contain anything unsuitable for your current environment... DON'T FUCKING BROWSE IT!
It's that easy! No tagging needed, no censorship, no nothing. No need to bother anyone else or demand of them to do the impossible and predict what you will consider suitable or not at a certain point in space and time.
Just have some patience, exercise some fucking self control and personal responsibility, and wait until you're in a suitable place and time to browse the fucking site!
Everyone else manages this incredibly subjective confusing tag just fine . Weird
We're in a fucking thread discussing whether certain drawings should or should not be “NSFW” (an entirely subjective question on which, obviously, no consensus can possibly be reached).
Y'all ain't managing anything, fine or otherwise.
