@skyjake thats fair from a technical standpoint! If its too much work to implement a 'NSFW subspace' filter thats totally okay. We can mute these things ourselves if we dont want to see them.

Just thought that I would throw this out there and see what everyone thought!

@OliverBrotchie I hope that I'm well-enough received in saying this, my point wasn't to accuse you of trying to censor anything - only that there is a fine line to tread between concern for safety and censorship. I apologize if that was poorly said.

I myself don't seek out NSFW content for a few personal reasons, but I also believe firmly in freedom of expression. While I'm not in favor of having that content right in front of my face all the time without my consent, I recognize the human rights hazards of trying to 'shut it off' for myself *and* others.

Boy, this subject can quickly become a minefield when people aren't committed to being respectful, can't it?

@zetamacs yeah all very good points! Absolutely, I find that the kindness and guiness of people of here to be quite wonderful.

Perhapse another angle in favour of filtering NSWF would be the state of modern popular buletan board style pages today which are flooded with NSFW content on main pages. Perhapse because of how popular it is, I feel that it can sometimes push out normal, interesting and unique content which is what makes Gemini so great!

I find the whole 'taboo' around sex issue distasteful. Killing people in horrible ways is not a problem, but consenting adults doing whatever is NSFW. I am so glad to not be in charge of people these days. Work is work, and anything that's not work should definitely be unsafe, unless you want to lose your job. That includes porn, but as far as I am concerned, updating your status or checking what your friends are eating is not work. Things have gotten really nuts. Leave your phone in your bag if you are working for me!

Also, this forum has been really tame so far!

It may be better to have this space muted by default. โ€” It may be good to not have this space appear on the all posts by default. It may be better to have people "opt-in" to seeing posts from here on the home-page instead of being exposed to them automatically. I know there is a button to mute this space but as many people may not want to see this, it would be better to not have to go through the hastle unessesarily. Please share your thoughts! :)
