apparently even though people who are logged out can't see NSFW posts until they confirm they're over 18, they can still see the tags that are on them?
this seems like a massive oversight to be honest! why is this the case! they shouldn't be able to see any of the damn post!!!!!!!
You must log in to comment.
in reply to @pinkfactory's post:
you can see NSFW posts logged out, they're just hidden by default in almost exactly the same way as they are when logged in - so both of them show tags. i don't know why it would be any different?
ok i didnt know that so im editing my comment from "are logged out" to "are under 18"
i guess it makes sense that it just has a single clickthrough if youre logged out but still i think it shouldnt show the tags on an nsfw post because the tags will probably also be nsfw
like how was i supposed to know they could see the tags. now i have to worry about whether what i write in there is safe
how was i supposed to know
open your profile in an incognito window
it's also worth separating "is under 18" from "signed out" and "doesn't want to see this NSFW post", those are all orthogonal. for a signed-in user, if they're under 18, they'll just turn off NSFW posts entirely; if they haven't, they'll probably look at the tags before opening the post, since they usually act like "light" CWs.
being signed out means you don't get to know anything about their age, so instead you get a UI that tries to capture both of those at once. you could argue that maybe there should be 2 click throughs, one based on age and the second being the normal "here's the tags and CWs, do you want to view this post", but that would make it more different to the normal website and be annoying for the users who do actually want to see NSFW posts signed out, which i would guess is most of them.
it's also worth mentioning that you can make your page entirely unavailable to signed-out users, no posts and (i think) no bio, which is probably better for a primarily NSFW account, instead of trying to half-sanitize things so the fewer SFW posts are still available to a small number of users.
and then i realize i might have misread your post - yeah if you disable NSFW posts in the settings then it shouldn't show any tags, you're right there
yeah, ill probably have to make my page inaccessible to people who are logged out until they change this, if they ever do :<
that especially sucks since not a lot of people are adopting cohost rn
