#52Don't trans people usually date/meet with non-trans people!?

You probably shouldn’t show NSFW to non-logged in users. Otherwise you could run afoul of various laws, since technically minors can access it
Serious question: Is my browser blocking image content or something? Or is there general consensus that plain body-font sized text is also an NSFW concern?
I didn’t see any non-text content, but I didn’t spend that much time looking.
NSFW text is a thing, there are porn sites that house explicit text for zoophilia, pedophilia, incest, rape, etc. I’m not saying this site has anything extreme or out there, but there are likely laws governing what text can be shown, it’s simpler to just require login, since that will also help protect you against COPPA and other restrictions for minors that are non NSFW related.
I’m all for free speech, but there are laws governing how certain text is handled

It's probably hard to reach a consensus when every workplace is different. However, sexually explicit text would be inappropriate at most places I've worked.

Interpreting Animats' question as concern for the user population, I think it's a valid one. The new administration in the US is openly hostile, and a lot of damage could be done to peoples' lives if, say, the community was hacked and private email addresses (or other PII) was leaked. And I also agree with you -- now's the time for those of us who can afford it, to fly our ally flags as loudly and proudly as possible…
I am taking security very seriously. All sensitive rows are protected by RLS, and I have gone even further by adding random noise to all location data. Locations are locked down, but in the unfortunate event of a hack what would be leaked is location within a 5 or so mile range, not exact location. If it is possible on Supabase I would like to eventually obscure emails and oauth info.
email me if you need a code review

Is that true?? In the US?
My instinctive metric[0] for NSFW is: Could a casual passerby see something that falls into a class of designated offensivenesses (e.g. sex of any kind, but not violence unless it's also sexual)?
Text in a giant font could certainly qualify. But I would not think that ordinary-sized body text would be problematic -- if the passerby has to pause and snoop, they are breaking other equally-important protocols to ascertain SFW or lack thereof.
0: I have not run this by an HR department, and I've worked from a home office for more than twenty years, so I may know nothing of which I speak!

I don’t think the thirst posts are trolls, but I do know what you mean. One of my top priorities this next month is adding NSFW filtering to the app to allow people to toggle that sort of content on and off.
I'm glad that you're making it a toggle and not banning it outright. This is my biggest gripe with BlueSky at the moment.
Isn't BlueSky doing the exact thing you want: making it a toggle?

#60The low contrast in the app makes it distractingly uncomfortable to read.
