Like am i missing out on big boy talk, gore, news etc that are adult ? Lemmy should seriously get a second filter like one that filters porn and the other that filters the rest if that is the case . Anyway what do you think ? Should news etc. be put behind nsfw ? I know i am straying far off the primary question but i am just talking casually and pulling it out of my ass as i go so thoughts ??
Edit : Is there any issue open in lemmy git for additional filters ??? If not can someone less lazy than me open one ?
The problem with that distinction has always been advertisers. Letting users label content for adults is one thing, letting users specifically say their content involves disturbing content seems like a tacit approval of the behavior. Most advertisers have little interest in doing business with those platforms
Which is to say that lemmy might have an opportunity there because the platform is less ad centric!
It’s a little naive to assume there’s zero advertising on lemmy. Plus at some point someone has to pay to keep the lights on here, especially if we’re going to continue growing. Historically we have seen that users don’t like to pay for content and that advertisers will pay to be on the platform
