Hi all. I was excited when I saw a new Dead by Daylight community was created and I’ve been trying to post daily to get it going. Its not my community, but I would love to have a thriving Dead by Daylight community on the Fediverse.

Some Dead by Daylight game content can be mature in theme, and I marked some posts as NSFW because I thought they might be a bit borderline, but I also noticed those posts I did mark as NSFW saw almost no interaction. Not even from the community owner. I suspect the issue is the NSFW flag and I second guessed and removed it, but I wanted to hear perspectives from others on that. Is violent game content worth marking NSFW? Should I just wait and see if anybody is bothered? Does marking things NSFW limit their growth a great deal?

    Nobody knows where you work.

    Some people might work in places where a pride flag will get them in trouble, but that doesn’t make it NSFW.

      We’re talking a run of the mill workplace… Obviously people won’t expect something with a pride flag in it to be NSFW just because working with conservative morons would get you fired over it.

      Painful to point out and obvious.

      Fair. You have to have a sense of the zeitgeist. It’s subjective at some level for sure, but IMO pride flags would be a pretty rare choice, while gore and nudity would be more obvious examples.

        Yes, the general rule would be avoiding scant clothing or nudity and also bloody gore for an average workplace.
