RE: Toggle Button For Work & Home - Option To Hide Keywords and Hashtags That May Offend You

in #steemit • 8 years ago

I think a simple settings page where you could check a box to allow NSFW content would be a simpler solution. I do like the idea of being able to hide tags your sick of seeing though.

    Yes a blanket #NSFW with certain terms and tags able to be hidden is a simpler solution, but I feel some people might view something like erotic photography different than violent content even though both may fall into the same category #NSFW category.

    A list of suggested types of content you could put checkmarks by that you could toggle individually would be something that would customize steemit to your individual beliefs/preferences.

    And since this is a decentralized platform, I feel you should be able to see as much or little as you wanted.

    You could potentially turn off every other category besides crocheting and photography if you really only wished to see that content.

    Just a baby idea, but thanks for your input @phoenixmaid! Hopefully others wish to weigh in as well and get this feature implemented.

      I don't think being able to turn of everything bar one or two topics would be a good idea otherwise we could quickly descend to the same place as face book and twitter which have essentially become echo chambers robbing us of the joy of discovering new content, thoughts and ideas.

        True, but I think that everyone should be free to do as they wish. You can already basically do that by going on steemwatch and only selecting a few topics. I doubt everyone would do this, but it might cater to a few people who would only really want to see others photography, and I believe they should be free to do that.

        The majority will continue to enjoy new content and create

        But a musician may wish to only see other music content and still be a part of steemit and contibute in a way like this

        I'm very interested in decentralized apps and would love to work on a pandora-like application for steemit. A place where artists could be paid directly without the need for apple or record companies to take a cut.

        Without having centralization for new artists music, they could offer songs, albums, tickets, and more and choose only to pay an extremely small $.01 fee to use the pandora like service (I don't know the metrics behind pandora, but would be happy to learn) over time that $.01 to the developers could be further decreased since the sheer volume would increase and net them the same amount.

        I envision being able to give musicians feedback directly and upvote content I like and hear similar artists or listen to only new content. A pandora tailored for steemit, that would allow the ability for bands or solo artists to upgrade instruments or quit jobs to focus on their passions instead of having chunks cut out from centralized organizations.

        Some people just want to consume and vote on content so I feel as long as they are engaging with steemit in a positive way, they should be able to treat it as they wish.
