Yeah, and that’s understandable but this was appearing in my discover feed by default which is kinda ehhhhh. If someone is into that sure, but most people aren’t and if they see that as part of their first impression of a platform it’s probably going to be a turnoff.
I like Bluesky, but I don’t disagree with this. When I started there last year it was A LOT of furry art and furry stuff. And they have every right to do all that. Go to town; I don’t care. But I also don’t really want to see it all over my feed(s).
I ended up subscribing to a list that mutes a ton of furry stuff, and that’s really helped clean up the feed.
This is something I kinda wish was a more common feature: a robust tagging system. That way you could just opt in/out of the tags you don’t want to see. Reddit kinda sorta had a partial solution, but it always seemed tacked-on.
Of course, there are a lot of difficulties to make a good tagging system, and it requires either centralisation or coordination. The former goes against lemmy’s decentralised philosophy, and the latter requires a lot of extra moderation/admin work.
That and weird furry diaper art.
You can find plenty of weird furry fetish art on the fediverse too if you find the right instances, that’s just an internet thing.

OK, but what if you were into it and didn’t know?
Seriously, though, NSFW content in all or discover should probably be opt-in only.
