Everything on Lemmy is "NSFW" unless your work is to be on Lemmy. (feddit.org)

Most jobs allow people to use their phones during down time, as long as you're not disturbing anyone else or looking at porn then no one cares

How would looking at porn on my private device in my down time be a problem to anyone?

In the same way that watching porn on public transit is a social no-no

Not everything you disagree with is trolling.

You are correct there, however questioning why you shouldn't be allowed to watch porn at work is definitely trolling lol

Not really. The distinction that has been made here is that "NSFW" only means "pornography" if it 1) takes place during a break at work and 2) does not take place on your own device. Conversely, doesn't that mean that I can do whatever I want on my own device during my break?

Who has made this distinction? NSFW in my opinion is anything that is, you know, not safe for work.

That would include pretty much any explicit content. Extreme gore for example would be another type of content which isn't really safe for work.

Probably also images of self harm.

However, alot of content on Lemmy doesn't fall in to the above criteria, so it is 'safe' for work. Just like how light magazines are appropriate for work, but a porn mag isn't.

Cool story bro. I'm actually at work now so I don't have time to keep entertaining your troll hijinks any further. You have fun watching porn at work though. Make sure to invite your manager to watch along with you!

Only if your company bans social media use.

I once got flak for linking the NSFW source behind an image in a piracy community and someone got mad about it like your workplace is going to be thrilled about you looking for pirated content in a Fake Taxi meme
