Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- No genocide denial
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. For a more general community [email protected] is recommended.

Yes. It's not really exclusively about work, though. It applies to families, public transit, anywhere someone might see your screen. It's not a nudity or gore tag, but a sort of inoffensively presentable content tag. The office screen mentality is just a good way to get the right idea across.
Also, "better safe than sorry" is a good mentality. It's better to over tag than under.
The core of it is avoiding drama at work, but yea it can be useful in other situations too. Suggestions to add a not-safe-for-life tag have been around since basically the day after NSFW become a thing cuz people do want some nuance.
Like, I can fire up a video of russian invaders getting blown to bits in Ukraine while sitting in the breakroom and while it might not be the most tasteful content, it's not going to get me fired; but most of those are tagged NSFW anyway just as a general content warning.
Gotta make due with the tools we've got. I'd definitely be in favor of adding a NSFL option to cover the gore - I don't want surprise titties on my screen in the middle of the breakroom, but if Karen finds something on my screen distasteful that isn't forbidden by actual policy, then she can go ahead and look away.
