I heard that images can't be deleted from Lemmy instances, due to bugs and various implementation details. Here is an image that has been deleted from the internet, to see if that fixes it. (lemmy.ml)

Edit: I was searching for a "meta" community, since this is a post on Lemmy about current Lemmy limitations... But it turns out that this might very well be off topic. I apologise if it is the case... I would gladly take suggestions on what community would be best for this post, BTW.

Emo Musk is a trans-ladder puller

"deleted from the internet" is an oxymoron, it's nonsensical. I still see that image everywhere

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Yet the other image I posted in a comment cannot be found anywhere online anymore. At least I wasn't able to. I tried several search engines, reddit, etc.

Context?

[–] [email protected] 48 points 10 months ago

Musk allegedly had that imaged deleted from the Internet, while here is an article that highlights the current Lemmytations (pun intended, I know it's bad) wrt image deletion.

This was meant as a joke, since this image allegedly always ends up being deleted, maybe it can fix the issue. 😅

Elon doesn't want to tell anyone how much clothes cost in the Matrix

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Elon doesn't like it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

To be fair...

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You should also post the famous picture of Beyonce that she doesn't want to be posted...

Hey I’d mark that as NSFW - would remove the exclamation point and link it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

How do you mark a comment as NSFW? I thought it was only for posts...

Edit: since the above post was removed because of not having a spoiler tag, here is one:

/!\ NSFW /!\

The closest thing I got is this:

$/!\NSFW/!\ boobstin$

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Kinda unofficially. Can use NSFW as the title of the link.

e.g.:

[NSFW](https://example.com/xx.jpeg)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Better than nothing. ~~I'll do that~~.

Edit: oh, you mean as the title of a link. Yeah nah, I don't believe anyone's gonna open it. Links often open outside of the client, people will not want that. However, I changed the image's text, so now it says "NSFW", and also, maybe I should open a feature request for lemmy so we can tag images as NSFW in comments as well.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Got it! “NSFW” test

Like this:

NSFW![](https://example.com/image.jpeg)

Replace “NSFW” with any text.

BTW better for somebody to click than get fired for an inline display image of some tig ole bitties. And mod removed your image in the meantime 😇

Edit: but if an entire thread is already NSFW (meaning that acronym is in the thread title), then fire away on the Photoshopped world leaders no matter what their state of undress! Almost certain that’s fine etiquette

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I know of the spoiler feature, however it doesn't work on all clients.

For example, the client I use wants the spoiler to be:

!spoiler!<

And it doesn't work with images. At all.

With the Lemmy syntax, on my client, I can immediately (without clicking/tapping) see ':::', followed by: spoiler Got it! "NSFW" test, the image, and finally, ':::'. (It is without the single quotes, I added them for unambiguity).

Point is, aside from having a convention (like having "NSFW" anywhere in the image alternate text) where images are tagged NSFW, or a proper spoiler tag that is easy to parse and works everywhere (this one doesn't), I don't see how this can work. And I honestly think we should be able to tag images as both NSFW and spoiler independently.

BTW better for somebody to click than get fired for an inline display image of some tig ole bitties.

IMHO it would be pretty dishonest to fire someone over mild nudity while totally being OK for your employees to do other personal things at work. However, I will concede that our society is extremely prude, and people will complain about kids being able to see that (kids, however, will not, and will gladly go to pron sites and happily click "I am over 18"...)

And mod removed your image in the meantime 😇

Yeah, the modlog says "NSFW. Next time use the spoiler tag or post a link."

That is ignoring that a spoiler tag will simply not work on most clients... But sure, let's pretend.

Edit: now there's a spoiler. Let's see if it works... 🤞

Voyager for Lemmy iOS just updated to support them at least! Progress.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Also post pictures of Streisands house, Beyonce's real face and Putin on a horse.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Is that a picture of Rapist Allen Turner who raped a woman behind a dumpster?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Fuck elon . But also he looks good in this pic too bad he looks like a pig now tho

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Idk why he'd want to delete this from the internet. That coat is fire!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

I hate cringe, but this is cringe

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Funnily enough, the picture raises my respect for Elon Musk. But I am surely not the type of person who he would respect.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

any time he is referenced they should use that picture.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

I wish

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago
