Your argument boils down to "I don't care about anyone else's triggers; you made a decision I disagree with, and everyone else should be forced to change so I don't have to." Which is not Beehaw etiquette. You are a guest here, and my obligation is to the Beehaw community.
This is far from the only instance with a U.S. news community. Subscribing to others without this restriction solves your problem.
This has nothing to do with textual news about Nazis, merely the photos included with the story. I agree the news needs to be out there, but there are only so many tools in the box for Lemmy mods.
Since image thumbnails load in the main feed, NSFW is the simplest approach to allowing people who don't want to see Nazi flags to continue being subscribed to the community.
To be clear, I don't know how much of a problem this will turn out to be. There's always more than one source for a Nazi march story, and I'm expecting the AP to be very judicious in the art it moves; it's other sources that concern me.
But this is not censorship; it's about keeping the community feeling like a welcome place for as many people as possible. All one need do to avoid the NSFW requirement is find a second source without such imagery, which is pretty easy.
I, too, am curious about this whole Hossenfelder imbroglio that I'm first hearing about.
Is that fucker still around and trying to do initiatives? The $30 car tab thing was first on the ballot before I left the state in 2000.
If these are technical manuals, I see no issue.
But fucking fiction?
That's more of a !chat post.
That was a CFC problem. We now have a DJT problem.
I cannot imagine how it must feel to be an American at the moment.
It is frankly a raft of emotions that changes by the hour, but none is positive.
What we functionally have as our two-party system is the NSDAP and what the GOP was lying about in the '60s.
I've neither the inclination nor energy to relitigate the details of 24-year-old events. Rest assured, we agree on what the outcome really was; this was when we as a nation stopped believing in voting.
You're going to have a busy day.
It's ultimately an editorial decision made after consulting with admins. There's no evidence to suggest the new guideline will ever have to come into play, so claiming the community is already less useful is hyperbole. This is a prophylactic measure.
