I’ve just created an account and in no more than two minutes a huge vagina appeared on my screen. This is problem.
Not that I have something against vaginas on my screen, but usually it takes some effort and commitment to make them available for observation. This time it was…
Well, ok, I did switch to Global feed, and there was a sensitive content warning, and I did click “See post”, but still it was too fast. It was a huge blurred square on my screen, obviously I had to unveil this mystery.
Now I can’t recommend Pixelfed to anyone in real life, because these pictures are just a few clicks away.
How I think it should be: when you create an account, “Hide NSFW content” option is enabled by default and such posts do not appear in your feeds or search results. If you wish, you can go to settings and enable it. “Blur NSFW content” is another checkbox enabled by default.
Right now there are no such settings at all. All I’ve found - is a quest of just six simple steps of creating a new filter. A quest should be needed to enable these images, not to disable them.
Brother you saw blurred nsfw, you broke past the warning sign, then you unblurred it anyways - now you feel some measure of guilt or shame or whatever, and rather than just moving on with your day it becomes a: “Do I have a problem? No, clearly it is the app that has the problem.”
This is exactly what happened. Can you please open global feed and tell if you also see those perfectly normal posts?
And here I am not getting any huge vaginas despite my efforts.
Is this a request?
The mobile app Pixelix has an option to hide sensitive content.
