Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected]
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Implicitly, there is only one solution of puritanical situations and that's to curate you feed.
Is a post about how you should unionize NSFW in this strange argument? Who knows. Do you live somewhere that showing ankles is only made as a prurient interest? Good luck friend!
If you scroll though the all feed enough, you're going to find plenty of things that aren't socially acceptable in your own mind.
But I'd like the Not Suitable For Work feature to filter posts that are not suitable for work. It's curation, just a different way to your preferred way. If you don't want to use the NSFW features, just turn them off. No need to be cross about it. It's in settings.
(Your point about ankles is badly made, in my view. I think you were arguing the point that because there's no objective speed that separates slow from fast, there's no difference between slow and fast, but that doesn't make sense in the real world. It might be hard to judge sometimes, but that doesn't mean I should be shouted at for advocating an opinion on voluntary speed limits!)
