[...]

All those long nights working on backend scalability and performance improvements are about to be put to the test

I wasn't anticipating this attention for a few more months, but I'm ready ๐Ÿ˜Ž

The photo app that is terrible at telling me what is NSFW and what isn't.

Literally, I had a picture on Pixelfed that was marked NSFW and opening it revealed a fucking tree.

Then I scroll down and I think, "oh it is another NSFW tree." No it was an image of two people fucking." I don't care if there is porn but the algorithm to determine what porn is on Pixelfed is shit. Make it work better or just give me a damn toggle to turn it all off.

Isn't it the user who decides if their photo is marked as sensitive?

Yes it is the user who toggles whether their posts are NSFW or not. Clearly OP here is just repeating something they thought they heard and has no experience in using pixelfed.

Ideally there should be no algorithm for this stuff but it would make moderation harder
