the proposed “flag the whole Ukraine community NSFW” approach has.

To be clear, I was not proposing keeping this community flagged NSFW permanently. That was a quick, naive solution I temporarily implemented not realizing how much of an effect it would have. I’m really asking ‘what content should be required to have a NSFW flag?’, and unless you have additional concerns we’ve settled on flagging combat videos that show the people involved (see pinned post / sidebar).

Sometimes stuff gets through for longer than it should /shrug

The rule is right there on the side bar and has been for as long as I remember.

@LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz this will probably affect you most. Thoughts?

All combat footage should probably be flagged nsfw,

I think that is too aggressive. There is all kinds of footage that is clearly safe (eg: drone on drone).

I’m thinking a rule requiring NSFW for combat footage where bodies (living or otherwise) are visible.

I’m being objective. It is an assumption either way as there is no concrete evidence visible in the video. Do you think every drone cam that cuts to static should be flagged as NSFW?

What they ‘think’ was the last moments. The follow-up drone shows no body, or even blood, so it is likely they got away.

The community is fine. I was getting complaints that (what I thought was benign) drone footage was NSFW and autoplaying in /All.

I’m going to discuss with other mods about setting a NSFW guideline and where we should draw the line because I think the NSFW community flag is too penalizing.

I changed the community to NSFW because people were complaining that drone footage cutting to static was NSFW and displaying in ‘All’.

Edit: To be clear I do not think this is NSFW and would gladly revert to not-NSFW if admins and community don’t care about the inevitable complaints.

While it has been public since late '22 that special forces from a few NATO countries are in Ukraine for advisory and training purposes, I am not aware of any credible evidence for them participating in front line fighting (unofficial/volunteers don’t count).

FTR it is an obvious typo: the correct year is 1895
