Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
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 !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
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 info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

That's like my mother asking in the 1970's..."Does anyone know how we can stop random strangers from throwing away their dirty magazines in the woods?". Some kid somewhere is eventually going to come across that. Better to teach them what that NSFW stuff is and what it's value is. That's just a comparison though. In tech the most foolproof way would be some sort of optical recognition software that has a basis of comparison to determine if an image is NSFW or not. Flagging an image would be even simpler but not everything would be flagged.
Nah, it's not. Because Mastodon is just one segment of the internet rather than "the whole forest" so we can in fact implement nsfw filters or similar.
I need accurate NSFW usage because scrolling Lemmy at work can be a gamble. I already use multiple accounts, one with strict controls and one with none, but even then, it's all up to mods to police it, which isn't perfect. I'm assuming OP has their reasons, too.
