‘Guess what? Mummy is a sex worker’: the sexologist who wants to build a ‘slutopia’ for women
  • ehhh I dunno

    feels like I just made a fool out of myself in public😬

    You're already doing what a good moderator separates you one from an average one: engage, explain and adapt!

    much appreciated🤗

  • ‘Guess what? Mummy is a sex worker’: the sexologist who wants to build a ‘slutopia’ for women
  • The issue here is that marking articles like these as NSFW perpetuates the core issue of the content discussed: that this is a woman problem that should be talked about in private.

    I guess that's where the majority of downvotes come from as well: "this should not be viewed in the workplace" is a catastrophic signal in this context for the message.

    yeaaa I can totally see where my request would be problematic to say the least


    All of this is my personal opinion of course but I wanted to leave you with more than just a two word comment!

    Yup and Thank you!🤗

    • all the points you made felt solid and made sense to me

    based on your and other commentors I feel like I have a better grasp on future moderation decisions

    for today, I def fucked up so this is a learning momement for me

    again thank you for commenting!🤗🌻

  • ‘Guess what? Mummy is a sex worker’: the sexologist who wants to build a ‘slutopia’ for women
  • ahhh ok honestly can understand that

    thank you for commenting!

    The line is crossed when the purpose of the material is to titillate.

    this'll help me figure out what does and doesn't cross the line🤗

  • ‘Guess what? Mummy is a sex worker’: the sexologist who wants to build a ‘slutopia’ for women
  • ?

    apologies but I don't understand,

    • marking a post as NSFW would mean that users who've enabled to view/blur NSFW posts would have their choices be respected

    the post is still viewable

    maybe the norm has changed for what's NSFW and what's not NSFW?


    edit:
    after thinking about this some more I feel like I need more thoughts from people to figure out what's the right decision, trying to figure out content moderation is hard as I'm not perfect at this (I'm just a volunteer with no formal training)

    • just trying to respect people's autonomy at the end of the day
  • ‘Guess what? Mummy is a sex worker’: the sexologist who wants to build a ‘slutopia’ for women
  • please mark as NSFW🤗

    marking your posts means to repect fellow users in their choice for disabling/hiding NSFW related posts

    by respecting each other's choices we'll be able to garner more respect from the mainstream public and potentially gain new users to fediverse alternatives


    edit:
    I was in the wrong for this decision
    thanks to @sushibowl@feddit.nl, @Scipitie@lemmy.dbzer0.com, and @agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works down in the comment chain, I'll know what to do in similar future situations

    Lawsuit Claims Microsoft Tracked Sex Toy Shoppers With 'Recording in Real Time' Software
  • I think my workplace would be more concerned about the fact that their own sex toy shopping is tracked than the fact that I use sex toys.

    fair enough

    But I marked it as NSFW anyway.

    Thank you!

    discourse.nixos.org Should jonringer get his commit bit back?

    Hi, I haven’t read this thread and I don’t really care to read all of it. I’ve always intended to get back into the Nix community after the issues with community management are sorted to my satisfaction. If jonrigner gets his commit bit back, I’m gonna be gone for good. Create whatever future you...

    [UPDATED June 8, @4:39am MDT] Water Main Break Found, Repairs Underway, City Requests Water Usage Reduction Until Repairs Completed
    globalnews.ca Calgary issues ‘critical water supply’ alert after water main break spurs boil water advisory | Globalnews.ca

    The City of Calgary issued a "critical water supply" alert on Thursday morning as the fallout from a water main break the night before continued to escalate.

    Calgary issues ‘critical water supply’ alert after water main break spurs boil water advisory  | Globalnews.ca

    As said in the Water Main Break Update/livestream, only the Bowness has been issued the boil water advisory.

    HOWEVER; As of [June 6, 2024 @6:36am MDT (UTC-6)], Calgary has enacted a citywide fire and level/stage 4 water restriction.

    • the citywide fire ban includes any outdoor use of fire such as BBQ, fire pits, etc.

    The City of Calgary is requesting all Calgarians to reduce all noncritical/recreational water usage as the Feeder Main (which is responsible for moving water across the city) has been severely damaged and it is currently unknown when the supply issue will be resolved.

    ---

    [UPDATE: June 7, 2024]

    Calgary Newsroom Update #4 > The City of Calgary continues to repair a large water main break in the Bowness and Montgomery area and this afternoon crews succeeded in uncovering the damaged pipe.

    • the break has been found, however it will still take time for the repairs to happen,
      • as such the city is requesting all Calgarians to continue reducing water usage for the next couple of days
