This seems silly. Just have new users default to having the "don't show NSFW" setting enabled.
He's one of the "I don't want to see something so neither should anyone else" crowd.
Incorrect. I'm fine with instances that host a variety of content. Including stuff I don't want to see.
However, I'm allowed to join an instance whose admins take a stance against bigotry for example, and therefore take better care that such content isn't allowed to freely go through their instance. That way I and a thousand of other users don't need to all block the content they don't like manually. It's my instance admin's choice, and my choice to go with their instance.
This was perhaps a bad example. Though there's the possibility of posts not being marked for NSFW that should be (and the instance not enforcing such), and ones that are mostly harmless but still labelled as NSFW for one reason or another. One person's NSFW is not the same as another person's NSFW. Feel free to replace the example rule with something else.
