No, not at all. I'm just saying that you're putting unnecessary restraint on yourself. It MIGHT also be detrimental because a lot of people will avoid the post because they don't want to see, idk, boob or vageen or peen or a plate of broccoli (because they're in public). But that's your decision.

It doesn't feel like restraint to me, just an extra note for the benefit of anyone who happens to be at a workplace like mine where a big expletive on the screen might not be the best thing when the boss walks by. I do appreciate your perspective, though.

I will never understand this.

What job do you have where your boss would care and you would get in trouble for the word "Fuck" appearing on your screen where you wouldn't get in trouble for just browsing Lemmy in general?

This has always felt like a solution in search of a problem to me.

I mean, this text is, what, a few ~~centi~~millimetres tall at best, I wouldn't be able to read that "bullshit" without lurking on your shoulder. If your boss watches what you read that closely, you maybe shouldn't be on Lemmy at work, no?

... or maybe you use absolutely massive screens at work. Like, billboard size? I want that job. 👀

I'm joshing you. Do whatever you like.

Edit: lol centi
