@toplesstopics Hi, there is an initiative for a new server list underway and i see an issue with a proposed rule. The thing is that nudity and pornography are proposed to be treated the same, and that feels wrong.
I thought before i say something, you might be a lot more qualified to propose a better solution. I hope this is a reasonable request, if so please share your thoughts on this.
Easy to read pdf:

Please see chapter 3, rule 6 for what i mean.
Github repo:
https://gitlab.com/ufoi/constitution/-/blob/master/proposal.tex
(line 173 is what i mean, currently:
\item Nudity and pornography must be posted either unlisted, with a content warning, or both.)

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 And you know they include "female looking nipples" as nudity but not "male looking nipples," like everywhere else that caters to the puritanical misogyny and transphobia of the US 🙃
@freemo
🇳🇱
We say nothing about nipples or even what constitutues nudity. This is intended to be open to discussion. If you feel the current wording is wrong just suggest your edits, we will discuss and hopefully incorperate them, thats why this is open to all.

I took a swing at it -
Partly b/c it seemed like it would create a minimum of two 'verses, one 'SFW', one 'NSFW'.
Partly b/c I thought of a gazillion other topics that ought be behind a CW.
Partly because I work with a global team and am really aware of my 'network privilege'.
Proposed 'TL;DR'
Boobs, Bombs, or Beans - __All__ multimedia goes behind a CW, and every user actively and affirmatively chooses to view it.
@jonathonbarton @freemo @toplesstopics @admitsWrongIfProven Are you proposing all images go behind a CW? That would be a flat no from me, I’d be out, as images are my primary use-case for social media. I might be misunderstanding though.
I do understand that this is a difficult sort of problem, and I don’t actually have a proposed solution. Except maybe to say that global commercial social networks have struck a balance, and maybe that should be the starting point?
You should mention your objection here so it gets noted:
@freemo Urg, GitLab has blocked my account (it’s years old and I have not ever really used it) and I can’t get in. Might need some sorting with GitLab support.
