Hi all. I was excited when I saw a new Dead by Daylight community was created and I've been trying to post daily to get it going. Its not my community, but I would love to have a thriving Dead by Daylight community on the Fediverse.

Some Dead by Daylight game content can be mature in theme, and I marked some posts as NSFW because I thought they might be a bit borderline, but I also noticed those posts I did mark as NSFW saw almost no interaction. Not even from the community owner. I suspect the issue is the NSFW flag and I second guessed and removed it, but I wanted to hear perspectives from others on that. Is violent game content worth marking NSFW? Should I just wait and see if anybody is bothered? Does marking things NSFW limit their growth a great deal?

If it could get me in trouble at work if someone saw it over my shoulder, it should be marked NSFW

That's fair. That's what initially made me mark them. I think my understanding of NSFW might be more stringent than most, as others have mentioned that users can always block the more graphic stuff if they think it would be an issue.

Nobody knows where you work.

Some people might work in places where a pride flag will get them in trouble, but that doesn't make it NSFW.

We're talking a run of the mill workplace... Obviously people won't expect something with a pride flag in it to be NSFW just because working with conservative morons would get you fired over it.

Painful to point out and obvious.

Isnt the majority of the world homophobic?

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I mean, that is run of the mill in many areas. For instance, many US states.

They said 'me' not 'someone in an average workplace'.

Painful to point out and obvious.
