ShadowRunnerThe Anti-NSFW measures have gone a bit far...
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.... #kbinMeta
I don't think it went too far. Not exposing people accidentally to NSFW content takes priority over giving people a better experience consuming NSFW content. If you want to consume NSFW content head over to an instance that focuses on NSFW content. For example, lemmynsfw.com will fulfill all your NSFW needs.
That's the advantage of the fediverse, you can have different instances focusing on different types of content. And having the main sites of kbin.social or lemmy.world focus on Non-NSFW content will make the entire fediverse easier to advertise to the public.
dedaleShould be user's choice. Have it enabled by default, but with a possibility to turn it off.
Nope. Content is mirrored and hosted locally, so it's the admin's choice.
You can choose to use a different instsnce if you don't like what the admin's doing.
I don't get your reasoning. There's no downside to letting users choose.
And I find the 'love it or leave it' approach distasteful.
I generally like what the admin is doing, in large part because he listens to user feedback, which I was providing.
Of course you're entitled to your opinion.
You should become accustomed to having multiple accounts, ones for different instances, because this is the fediverse and essentially just semi-interlinked forums. If you want forum specific content that is generally considered spicy, go to that forum directly rather than complain that every other forum not handle your need for spicy content in an effective way for all parties.
This isnt some faceless megacorp. You are so used to one source for all your content due to reddit, but you should not expect one instance to provide you with all your desired content. Can you imagine how many man hours need to be put into effectively handling spicy content, across all instances? Or, you can just go to the spicy content forums.
Yes, there is a need for better handling multiple accounts seamlessly, its definitely under development in several apps. In the meantime it's just something to deal with.
Personally I'm very happy with no porn and gore. But I think loss of user agency is what made internet the hell it is now, and alternatives should keep it in mind.
Peertube does have some basic granularity: allow sensitive content or not, blur sensitive thumbnails or not.
It's work no doubt, but I doubt it's the Herculean task some make it out to be.
In the end it's for Ernest to decide, I see no problem in making suggestions one way the other. And I don't understand why you would.
For what it's worth, I haven't browsed reddit in years except for specific technical stuff, you may be assuming a little bit too much based on a single comment.
AdlantorIf your solution is to go to a different website instead of subscribing from here and having it served to me here, then what is the point of federation? (Just to clarify I totally understand why people wouldn’t want to be served nsfw when they didn’t opt into it and I don’t mind a bit of an overcorrection for the meantime. I know kbin blew up fast and this can be an expected growing pain that will eventually be worked out)
parrot-partyFederation doesn't mean everything. Each server is allowed to choose how they want to federate, who they want to federate with, and what features they want to support for their users. The entire point is to make it easier to migrate servers, not that servers are discouraged from running how they want.
If you want nsfw primarily, then join a server that values that. They will choose to federate with other nsfw servers. They will choose to include better features for nsfw content. Complaining about the lack of nsfw features here is like complaining about the lack of English federation on a French server.
You aren't paying for anything here. You don't get to dictate how a server is run nor what the developers focus on as far as features. Disagreement is fine but the power you hold is the ability to change servers.
To my knowledge, currently kbin.social federates with all instances. Therefore on this instance kbin.social, where I have opted in to nsfw, I would like nsfw to organically show up on my All. If it isn’t showing up because no one is making any then that is fine, if it is being made and isn’t showing up despite me having opted in that is not fine and I will patiently wait until it is fixed. And just for the record, I have and would encourage everyone else to buy Earnest a coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin
I've bought a coffee as well.
As to federation, no Kbin hasn't really taken any stances yet, but that doesn't mean they won't in the future. But feature wise, Kbin is so new that nsfw specific features could be a long way off. I doubt even @ernest knows as I'm sure his life has been thrown a real curveball this month. If we're still here in a couple years and there's no extra nsfw features, then it's reasonable to ask what's up. Right now though? There's so many missing features that you couldn't realistically even list them all.
ernestHey, thanks :) Yes, that is a known issue. First, I need to address the moderation tools and sensitive content issue for sure. I'm actually working on it right now. But there are so many exciting new things from contributors right now that it's not easy ;)
The most important thing is that we have 331 issues recorded. Now it's just a matter of time :D

Hi, ernest!
If this is a known issue that you intend to address, and it's just a matter of priorities, then I'm happy.
Everyone appreciates all the work you've been doing, and I hope you're getting help to ease your burdens.
