NSFW Tag for drug use? (lemmy.world)

Hey guys, it was brought up in a report that NSFW tags should be applied to posts depicting drug use. What do you guys think? I could see it either way and thought you guys might like to weigh in on it. I personally don't find it particularly offensive but my work environments have never been the type to react strongly to something like this popping up on screen (I think they might be more upset about being on Lemmy at all). Currently there is no rule, and I am fine with that, unless feedback indicates the community would rather play it safe and require the NSFW flag.

That tag covers a lot of different things. This has been debated on reddit for 15 years, with no progress on other types of tags. It’s the only one, so while it says “work” it includes stuff a lot of us don’t need/want in general. It’s there to censor stuff

It isn't censorship if you can just turn it off and see everything. It's a warning for people who want to browse at work but not view content that can get them in trouble

Just turn it off and ignore it if it doesn't apply to you. The rest of us want the tag to be used for its purpose.

You base this on some sort of research into usage of nsfw tagging or just pull shit out of your ass?

[–] aaaa@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yes, my experience with websites over the past few decades.

NSFW stands for "not safe for work." What do you think it means? It's pretty straightforward in its meaning.
