NSFW. What is it and why is it used?

in steemit •  7 years ago  (edited)

In Steemit we have the opportunity to publish what we want. However, our content has the same limits as freedom, and respect for others.

Today we will see a very important recommendation for people who want to publish explicitly sexual or very bloody issues. Content of NSFW

#EeseeseKnowledge

For users who are not used to observing these types of abbreviations, NSFW means No safety for work.

They do not refer to what we are at risk if we publish content for this hashtag, but it is a consideration for all readers of this financial ecosystem.

How and on what occasions will we use it?

Its use is simple, it is enough to include in the first position of our hashtags the acronym NSFW. With this, our content will be hidden for most users. (Of course, with a simple click on reveal, any user can read us)

When?

In most cases it is used for pornographic content. Whether videos, photographs or erotic writings. It can also be used when we publish very bloody issues. Corpses, mutilations or even surgeries among many more

As its name says "Not Safe For Work", with what content do we not want to be caught at work or in a public place?
Possibly our colleagues in the company do not care that we see pornography during working hours. However, this is where we have to think about other people, probably there are teachers, doctors, lawyers (any profession applies here).

Not all of us have the same freedoms or ways of thinking and that they catch us seeing a certain content, can cause us many problems.

Why do we have to use it?

Existen diversas razones por las cuales este hashtag es de mucha utilidad. Veremos solo algunas sólo para enmarcar su importancia:

Cultural diversity

It is well known that Steemit is expanding all over the world and some actions can be offensive, depending on where we are located.

It is possible that, for our territory, contents where they are shown naked are considered more as art, than sexually offensive or modest. However, that does not justify not entering the NSFW category.

Although, we can not control how many people are offended by our post, we can use that hashtag to prevent. We remind you that within a week, our publications will be there forever and you can not limit the number of people who will observe it.

Readers of all ages

In Steemit there is no parental control, people of all ages can enter and observe everything that is published within this financial ecosystem.
We are not talking about the age limit to be older that varies between countries. What we want to prevent is to disturb children.

Infants that here, in Beijing or anywhere else are still living in an innocent way, let's avoid being that person who ruins the sexual concept. (It's already profit that children are interested in reading articles, instead of playing Minecraft.) Do not scare them off.)

How to show / hide NSFW content?

In the configuration section of our account, we can choose between the options:

-Hide always
-Advert always
-Show always

Steemit offers us the freedoms that no other social network gives us, we are participants in an unprecedented technological revolution.
It is up to us to preserve peace among all users, keeping the advice that benefits harmony will lead to better profits for all.

As the well-remembered Gandhi says "Respect for the rights of others is peace"
That was all for this time friends I hope you liked it, see you in the next one;)
