Images should default to 'sensitive' when a Subject/Content Warning is used

I'm gonna be honest I can't imagine anyone finding use for this behavior especially when images with subjects are hidden on PleromaFE itself. It's not obvious to pleromafe users that their content is being displayed in full for everyone who isn't using PleromaFE, causing them to seem incredibly inconsiderate of others.

For reference, the bottom post contains a sensitive image, the top post does not.

on mastodon.social

on tusky

changed the description

Subject is a subject, you don't have to use it as CW, so there's no sense in making attachments sensitive automatically when using subject line. You can set images to be sensitive separately.

Open a bug for tusky/mastodon so that they properly collapse images with the subject.

just saying that even if we add optional defaulting marking sensitive images situation won't change overall.

Please tell me a good situation to not mark an image as sensitive when you add a subject, especially if you visually cannot tell the difference on PleromaFE itself. In fact, this behavior is why I'm asking for this auto-sensitive marking; its incredibly easy to forget that not everyone sees what you see on the Fediverse. You have no incentive to add a sensitive tag unless you know this behavior exists in the first place.

In addition, Glitch.Soc (including Pleroma's GlitchFE), Tusky and Mastodon automatically marks images as sensitive if you add a subject line (without the ability to opt out). Doing the same would literally be for the benefit of everyone not using PleromaFE while not affecting people who are using PleromaFE in any meaningful way.

Just because everybody else does the same doesn't mean you have to do the same. Pleroma defaults to showing full posts when they have subject lines while mastodon/mastofe/tusky always collapses posts to subject, sometimes without an option to turn that shit off.

A good situation to not mark image as sensitive when using subject line: Subject "pleroma development" and screenshots from development version. Screenshots are not NSFW, not porn, not suggestive, not triggering, not seizure-inducing, just screenshots, why would you want to make the sensitive if they are not, just because you added a subject line to your overly-long post you decided to give a subject line for some reason? I'm not gonna delve on why subject lines by themselves are ridiculous here but sure.

Glitchsoc, Tusky, Mastodon should treat images as sensitive if post has subject line then, if it's such an issue. You probably can use Misskey to create subject-lined posts with non-sensitive images, or just use older pleroma(fe) version, or fork/hack mastodon, it won't change the situation just because one frontend stopped doing that - you have to force ALL pieces of software to do the same - it's more efficient and reasonable to ask the same software to improve how they display the said posts.

If I remember correctly, it used to mark attachments as sensitive automatically and it was INCREDIBLY annoying, but nothing on FE changed in that regards, so it could be a BE probem.

and just to have a second opinion here, in case I'm spewing nonsense again, tagging in @lambadalambda and @shpuld

added Discussion label

Don't mean to necrobump but I noticed this behavior and was looking through the docs, and the PleromaFE User Guide specifically said that media is marked sensitive automatically when using a subject line

I'm not going to advocate for one side or the other, but the docs don't line up with the subject line behavior

Supposedly, this was a behavior with older BE, as I mentioned before, that's why it's in the user guide. I'm just gonna say that FE doesn't automatically mark attachments as sensitive nor changes the post presentation when subject line is present - it's all BE trickery
