Blur NSFW/18+ Article Thumbnails (kbin.social)

I'm not sure if this is the right place for a discussion, or if I should rather open an issue at Codeberg.

Anyways, some bold soul posted the first link on @nsfw, which I saw browsing All. It was properly tagged as 18+, but the cropped thumbnail already showed some explicit content.

My proposal would therefore be to blur at least the thumbnails in 18+ posts. I'm not sure how to handle this with federated stuff from e.g. Lemmy, as I have no idea if posts from there can even be tagged 18+.

What does everyone think?

This is a key point for me.
There is clearly no shortage of commercial porn on the internet, but self produced (for pleasure or profit) lacks places outside of reddit and twitter.

I think a decentralised space is ideal for this purpose, as long as it can be effectively hidden from view unless you opt in.

There's nothing wrong with nudity, from prudish to explicit. I understand not wanting it on your main feed, but I dont understand the issue with it being in a segregated space.
I suspect reddits success is in no small part due to hosting but also effectively segregating adult content.
