I know there is some sensitive people who don’t like to see or hear about violent crimes, should I label my posts which include violent crimes as NSFW?

    I was really hoping that Lemmy would separate NSWF/NSFL.

    It’s time for the internet to make a distinction.

    If anyone is upset by that type of content then they’ve probably stopped reading the news anyway.

    If it’s on a major news site then I don’t think tags are needed.

    Would / could it get you into trouble if a boss looked over your shoulder and saw you reading it? If yes, it’s NSFW.

    Ha, I guess I inspired this post.

    I usually have “NSFW” post hidden on this account to avoid all the porn on /all, but this is very much the account I want to read the news on.

    Proper news outlets will usually have their own NSFW warnings and blurr in place to alert people even after they clicked the link. If your link really contains material that requires an NSFW tag before clicking, it probably doesn’t belong in a news community to begin with.

    It depends IMO picture or thumbnail with serious gore yes. Simply text or images in article no.

    If people don’t want to see posts about certain subject matters they can filter out keywords to avoid them.

    Is the post going to cause someone’s coworker to report the person viewing the post? Is the thumbnail or images in post graphic? If yes tag NSFW if no then fuck it.
