I’ve been getting complaints about footage that is technically non-violent but leaves enough to the imagination that it apparently bothers people, so I wanted to get input regarding where the NSFW line should be drawn.

The video posted here is a perfect example of where I think the limit is. The only complaint I can see is the discharge of a firearm. Does that count? Is ‘being able to put 2 and 2 together to know what happened’ enough to warrant flagging as NSFW? Was the previous status quo good enough?

Setting aside the obvious “I know it when I see it”, please share your thoughts.

Until a better consensus of where the line should be for the community I will leave it temporarily flagged as NSFW.

    I’ve seen a lot of drone videos over the past years. Those drones often carry only small grenades with a directed warhead. So there’s a good chance that guy just got some shrapnel in not life threatening parts of his body and limped away. Is there also a chance his head got blown off and the body flew off the truck? Yeah. But neither scenario is actually visible in the video.

    If this matter is so important to you I’d suggest to raise a feature request for more in depth tags on Lemmy’s Github page, because there’s also a lot of people who draw the line at actual visible gore and want to filter just that out.
