Please please please use the NSFW tag on graphic content. I've now seen things that I can't unsee and my heart aches in ways that memes can't fix.

Good idea, even though I have a habit of clicking through to the NSFW content and this wouldn't have saved me from the footage of that poor Ukrainian woman

At least that the last thing people can do safe guard their news feed . To filter their feed is by putting tag NSFW

How do I avoid seeing true-life graphic violence? I don’t want to see it. I accidentally saw some on twitter. I open nostr and your post is the first thing I see. Do I just have to stop using social media?
Especially if you're going to make a dozen notes about it with the same video 🤮🤢 It's like I'm on Twitter and I will mute you if you do that shit.

Keep your follow list to people and things you truly enjoy, visit curated relays for stuff beyond your follows, stay out of anything called "global", "trending", or "universal", use a client that supports NSFW filters, shut off video autoplay just in case. If unpleasant things start showing up in ypur replies, you can mute and/or change your inbox relays as needed. Nostr offers better tools for you to control your experience than any platform.
As terrible and graphic as it is, I'm glad there is at least a way to preserve this because on every other platform it has already been removed. My heart goes out to him and his family.
Not everybody is in a position to see things that others don’t mind seeing. It’s not being weak. It’s just being respectful. Please honor @Jestopher ‘s request to tag videos and posts as graphic or NSFW if you’re not already doing that.
This is hard. 🧠🔥 Tags because you don't even want to SEE the active conflicts that other folks are LIVING?! You don't even have to experience it due to your privilege, but you don't even want to WITNESS it. This is a hard line to toe in today's increasingly dystopian world. Aside from genuine mental health problems, everyone needs to show solidarity somehow and if this small a touchpoint isn't even on cards.....chat, we're cooked. 🚨 View quoted note →
The idea that people who want to post shocking/nasty stuff are ALSO going to want to tag their posts NSFW..... is hopelessly naïve. (Please excuse my umlats, I was a long-time New Yorker subscriber in a former life.)
i'm building a general firehose at the moment for my paid gig and i had to just blanket disable media loading because of the garbage that was being found on the popular free relays. i definitely agree that all media being only rendered as links should be an option for this reason, because of jumble's relay feeds. and it should default on for relay feed views, so maybe even better to have two options, one for all, and if that is disabled, you can just disable relay feed media loading. the spammers are making full use of the free resources certain people are giving them.
