Meta executives have said its users wish to see fewer political posts across its apps.

I’m glad they’ve come to realise this, I know a few people who have either left Facebook, or don’t want to sign up, because they don’t want to talk politics.

I go to Facebook to see what people I know are up to, for the most part.

Ssh. Nobody say anything.

Possibly, but a workplace where even a joke about drug use would be an employment issue would be pretty unusual.

Some people can’t drink at work

I think you’ll find that’s most people actually.

It also hasn’t been used literally for a very long time.

My take from this is rear engine vehicles are the safest to drive around small children.

Lambo it is.

Are you actually suggesting everything I find gross is a phobia? I also find vomit and dog slobber gross, are those also phobias?

And vaccines are first aid?

What?

Why are you following me around?

I’ve explicitly said I don’t have a phobia of needles, my point was any injury should be flagged NSFW.

You mentioned people having a fear of dogs previously. Do you think a dog actively biting someone should be NSFW?

I’m thinking what about during your break etc, not just when you’re on the clock.

Drugs in general is an overreach, but personally I think someone actively using a needle should be flagged. Regardless of what the needle is used for.

I’d definitely count an injection taking place as gore.

You’re a strange fellow.

I don’t have any trauma related to needles, and I’ve had plenty of injections and blood tests over the years. I still find needles gross, like I would any other wound, and based on what’s happening in the thread, I’d say that’s a pretty common belief.

Needles aren’t scary.

That’s a very privileged thing for you to say, I think. It’s also a bit bizarre how much you’ve dug your heels in over this.

One involves poking a hole in someone’s skin, which a lot of people get the heebie-jeebies about. NSFW should be used on things people find visually disturbing.

I’m not sure how you got here from there, but that’s a pretty weird take.

Many people, perhaps even a majority, are grossed out by needles, in a similar way to blood or other physical injuries. I think warning someone about that is only fair.

NSFW should be used to warn against things that are visually disturbing, not ideas or concepts.

I’d count that as visually disturbing, in the same way an injury could be. I’d certainly wince at the sight of a needle being poked into someone.

NSFW has typically been used for things that are visually disturbing, like gore and sexually explicit materials. Using it for ideas that aren’t safe for work feels like it would devalue the tag.
