Is it NSFW? There’s no gore, no nudity, and no swearing. The title and community already state it’s not exactly feel good but I don’t see anything that you wouldn’t see in any Marvel movie.
Some servers (including the one I’m on just now) don’t show anything tagged as NSFW, as an easy means of complying with stupid internet laws. Using the NSFW tag as a catch all term for anything you may not want to see then censors large amounts of content.
Why would you be involved in a server that blocks content like that. Basically every Lemmy browser has the option to not show NSFW content. This shouldn’t be done at the instance level and should be left for the user. You should move instances.
This video was one of the top stories on the BBC’s website today and I’m sure many other news websites around the world. It was “censored” by pausing for 1 second at the point of collision but otherwise it was the exact same video.
If the BBC are putting it on their front page it’s unlikely to be NSFW.
Actually being forced to watch is a part of the point, but its different.
An nsfw tag is also a low-key communication device for the reader to take whatever it is with extra sense of seriousness or caution. In other words to treat it as separate in some way, depending on the post contents, from the rest of the shitposts and daily guff we post.
Its important to distinguish things like this, even if the news doesn’t. We can build up our own humanity and care for each other here. Remind ourselves and each other that theres very real loss in these instances. Its not just another piece of entertainment, or ragetainment for the ‘feed’, events like this should cut through, and nsfw tags can be employed to position the post to cut differently.
Nsfw shouldn’t be thought of as just the ‘woke police’, but a layer of the communication of the post itself.
What?? Nine real people DIE instantly in a fucking fireball explosion in this video.
Of course this should be tagged NSFW.
Fix your server, get on a different one, fix your laws, or figure out a way to bypass the block. Don’t not comply with community standards that everybody else uses because your country is messed up.

They made that choice to cover their own asses, not to nanny users.
Yes watching this video knowing that 9 people have died upon impact makes this a death video.
What’s so wrong with erring on the side of caution and putting NSFW or a CW up?
Just because you are desensitized to watching death doesn’t mean the rest of us are.
CW fair enough, but NSFW blocks it from several servers erroneously.
Holy shit, look at that, the video is marked NSFW now. What a shocker!
Maybe death videos shouldn’t be pushed so easily into people’s timelines. Let people choose to watch it if they want.
Right back at you.

Yeah defending the BBC is always the right move lol
I still think death videos should be opt in and not pushed to everyone’s front page without any warning or censoring.
Tbf the title makes it quite clear, but the best compromise is a CW so the user can make the call.
Yep, that’s the only point I was trying to make. Thanks for getting it!
While I agree with the sentiment, no one was forced to watch this.

that’s a problem with your server, and not one the rest of fedi should have to accommodate.
Moth is correct. Good Moth.

There’s a discussion possible.
I know people who look at the news at work and that often talks about Israel and the USA killing people all over the place.
The news is no standard to go by. We should be better.
The world is an ever increasingly messed up place, and we messed up for being in it.
