I agree it's better, yes, but I literally saw an ass this morning wearing red lace underwear beneath a Trump flag without proper tagging, so there's always room for improvement.

But at least I'm no longer being bombarded daily with pics of Andrew Gillum's blurry penis, that much I am thankful for.

I don't really want a bunch of prudes either but I have female family members and older family members that still would judge a book by a half-naked woman on the cover. Sorta like how they would make faces at me reading GQ or Maxim even if I swore to them I was only reading it for the articles.

I would like to be able to link thedonald.win to people like my grandparents or my old conservative Republican boss without the fear that the time they choose to follow the link just happens to be the moment a butt pic makes the front page.

I agree there is room for both, but it has well become the norm that any mainstream website (or site that aspires to be mainstream) must have some kind of opt-in mechanism for NSFW material.

NSFW is very broad and hard to define, it is true, and I don't support some kind of Internet sharia law that tries to make any low-cut top automatically sexual, but I hope we can agree that a post titled "Hotties for Trump" is targeting the T&A crowd.

Reddit had this exact same problem, which they solved by removing r/all as the default for unregistered visitors and creating a new, curated r/popular as the default view which contained content only from the 20 or so default subs that were the most heavily moderated.

I could envision something similar eventually happening here on TDw, where the default view is a curated collection of all current and previous sticky posts (which are always either memes or newsworthy posts) and upon registering for the site (which we should be encouraging people to do instead of just lurking) they get the option to view the entire smorgasbord.

I don't want people to stick to Facebook because it's safe, I want to see TDw continue to grow and eventually supplant some of the other famous name political websites. That doesn't mean compromising our principles, no, but giving people more options and more choice for content I view as an overall good compared to the minor downside of properly labeling your posts, which we should already be doing by category and flair anyway.

LOL, I actually tried to find it so I could link as an example but I have "Hide on Upvote" enabled so it no longer shows for me. I tried searching for it but I only remembered the title had something like the number 2 in it.

I had to scroll through about fifteen pages of search results to find it, so you're welcome. Also, yay mods for properly tagging it now.

Enjoy
