I know of the spoiler feature, however it doesn't work on all clients.
For example, the client I use wants the spoiler to be:
And it doesn't work with images. At all.
With the Lemmy syntax, on my client, I can immediately (without clicking/tapping) see ':::', followed by: spoiler Got it! "NSFW" test, the image, and finally, ':::'. (It is without the single quotes, I added them for unambiguity).
Point is, aside from having a convention (like having "NSFW" anywhere in the image alternate text) where images are tagged NSFW, or a proper spoiler tag that is easy to parse and works everywhere (this one doesn't), I don't see how this can work. And I honestly think we should be able to tag images as both NSFW and spoiler independently.
IMHO it would be pretty dishonest to fire someone over mild nudity while totally being OK for your employees to do other personal things at work. However, I will concede that our society is extremely prude, and people will complain about kids being able to see that (kids, however, will not, and will gladly go to pron sites and happily click "I am over 18"...)
Yeah, the modlog says "NSFW. Next time use the spoiler tag or post a link."
That is ignoring that a spoiler tag will simply not work on most clients... But sure, let's pretend.
Edit: now there's a spoiler. Let's see if it works... ๐ค
Voyager for Lemmy iOS just updated to support them at least! Progress.
