Those are some impressively short shorts

Good to have you back, Disa.

I also know that there’s been issues with the Lemmy-NSFW fork being used, some people want us to fork it, make modifications to it and use that. I’m going to shoot this idea down now. Burggit is just me and Burger, there’s no one else here, and we do have other things we like working on. We’re not maintaining an entire special fork. It’s likely that we will just go back to the main Lemmy branch, though I would be open to arguments against that or maybe even suggestions for already existing forks to use.

If compromise modifications aren't an option, then I think it's crucial that we stick with the NSFW patched version as it is. I conjecture that allowing NSFW posts and communities to be seen without logging in will make the difference between this place slowly growing vs slowly dying. I don't have access to numbers to back this up, and we'd likely need a longer trial run of the NSFW patched version to judge whether there's an inflection point. However, the "ghost town" effect that has been mentioned is real. People largely will not go through a registration process before they have an idea of what the site has to offer.

a significantly worse off reputation among those that hear horror stories of “Could you believe I saw ___ on the front page? God only know what they’re hiding behind locked doors for registered members if that’s what they show to the public”

This ship sailed long ago. There's no point in trying to appeal to those that are intolerant of the existence of fetish content.

Nah, I'm of the opposite perspective on this. Keeping NSFW stuff login-gated is a slow death sentence for the site. The change to show it to everyone seems (to me) to have resulted in a slight increase in new people posting, and probably puts us above replacement level instead of below. I don't have actual numbers to back that up though.

The only change I would make is to the initial content warning popup for logged-out users. Make it more specific to burggit, and notify people that by creating an account they can filter the more extreme content. A booru-style default filter that you can change or disable without logging in would be nice to have, but would be a much more difficult change to make. Even then, I'd only have it disable auto-expand for posts from the more extreme communities, rather than hiding them entirely.

I, for one, welcome our new mercantile overlord

Yeah, letting your device talk directly to them would make the whole thing moot, of course.

You can just make your number private and prevent people from being able to find you by it.

Telegram themselves would still know who you are, and would be able to sell that information, or it could be stolen in a data breach. For some people that's not such a big deal, but it's not really an acceptable option for those that really care about privacy.

Good finds!

Beautiful!

Maybe part of it could be the “ghost town” appearance the feed shows when logged out - NSFW content isn’t displayed to logged-out users, so scrolling out of the first page is enough to show week-old post dates.

This is a real problem. Until lemmy implements an administrative setting to allow NSFW to be shown to those that aren't logged in, NSFW instances are going to be at a severe disadvantage.
