View submission: Removing sexually explicit content from r/all

View parent comment

This is a first step to allowing for more capabilities to filter content on r/all and other listings that many people may (not) want to see.

When will you add a dedicated gore filter? I deeply do not care about seeing naked people, but seeing carved up people is never what I want. Right now that doesn't even need to be tagged at all.

Why would you not allow the user to make the choice on what they filter then? Why make this automatic, instead of a setting?

These kind of things are immediately transparent to the user (ie that r/all is suppoused to be everything but now it's not), is there anyway you are going to convey that "r/all" isn't actually ALL, particularly with the goal of more complications?

Why was sexual content considered a higher priority to hide than graphic violence/gore? I would expect more people to be upset by the latter than the former.

Doesn't filtering definition ally break the purpose of /r/all?

All means... All.

Popular is essentially all without NSFW.

If this is a change being made then give us /r/allsfw and /r/allnsfw.

If in weren't for NSFW in /r/all there are multiple subs I'd have never learned about. This is not a positive change.

But you didn’t answer the question about r/popular.

Why is your first move to (essentially) remove functionality that has been there for years and years *before* building the functionality that gives users the choice about it?

Build that first, *then* change the default settings for users. All you're doing here is annoying users.

More capabilities? You're removing content. Not even the worst kind, just naked people. Why should we believe you'll expand your options when you keep lying to us?

Where's the CSS support? It's been **three years**

It's /r/all. It's not /r/OnlyWhatTheControlGroupWantsToSee. You already have that in /r/popular. Just don't go to /r/all if you don't want to see everything. Hell, seeing some posts from /r/spacedicks back in the day wasn't comfortable but fuck me, I click on /r/all, I'm inviting that into my world. I spent way too much time on here anyway. You doing a Digg 2.0 might just be what I needed.

Maybe you should call it something else besides r/all then (since it's no longer ALL), maybe something like, popular?

Oh wait...

You guys really believe that is an improvement? Censoring now is for the greater good?

Funny how the human mind works, being all counterproductive and all while believing they're doing "the right thing".

To keep snowflakes safe from melting, one needs to block out the sun. Question is, is is good to block out the sun?

Edit for clarity

Need some more clarity here - are you saying the end goal is to allow *users* more capabilities to filter content to what they want to see, or are you just building *yourselves* more tools to help filter stuff for everyone?

If its the former, how does a unilateral change like this get us any closer; and if it's the latter, what other things do you think we don't want to see on the front page?

Your edit for clarity is lacking the primary question here. **WILL WE BE ABLE TO TURN THIS FILTER OFF?** I made it in caps and bold so you don't miss it. Are YOU filtering this or are WE allowed to filter it? There is a HUGE difference.

Wouldn't filtering also include the option to opt for no preselection at all?

It would appear that is what r/all was meant to be, originally.

"filter content on r/all". I think you're missing the godamn point of r/all. If people want to have stuff filtered they will go reddit.com where they will only see the subs they are subscribed to. r/all should not have a filter on it. Why is every change you guys make for the worse? It's like you've learned nothing from tumblr and digg. You guys think you're too popular or big of a website at this point to disappear tomorrow. Tumblr and digg thought the same thing. Where are they now.

This is just targeted censorship. I’m sure you’re days likely indicates that gore and NSFL content would be higher ranked for removal than naked people.

Is r/popular just not working out for you guys? Now we will get promises of filters that will never happen.

Can you force the NSFW tag onto all r/medizzy posts at least...? I have the blur filter on literally only because of that and a few other subreddits, but I still run into posts that aren't caught by it on r/all.

It's called r/all for a reason? It should be everything not just what you choose for us.

3 months ago... still wating for ways to opt in nsfw content again, a dedicated nsfwall or filters for gore.

Thanks for nothing.
