It's the same story with pretty much any platform. While you may know YouTube as the tool where AI/software randomly bans innocent channels and demonetizes videos based on false positives, it actually has a small army of human moderators. These poor folks are constantly exposed to some of the most vile content humankind produces >! ::: beheadings, rape, torture, child abuse::: !< etc.

I once worked on a project aiming to help their mental well-being, but honestly, while a step in the right direction, I don't think it made much difference.

Edit: attempting to nest multiple spoiler formatting

>!beheadings, rape, torture, child abuse!<

That's not how spoiler markup works here.

It works this way instead.

yo yo dirty stuff here

Edited to add: Apparently there's not exactly consensus across different interfaces for what spoiler markup is supposed to be. Aaaargh!!

Neither of those appear formatted as spoilers in Voyager (formerly WefWef).

Edit: But, appears properly in Memmy.

I'm also on Voyager; I don't think it has spoiler support.

Update: a github issue exists.

[–] spiderman@ani.social 1 points 1 year ago

it seems like dev might not be focusing on that and he might actually need help in that.

[–] azura@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yup also doesn't work on Mlem for me

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Your markup didn't work, either, lol

[–] terminhell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does for me, but I'm using jerboa.

Oh interesting. I just used the spoiler button while paying via Sync.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Hmm also in sync and nothing got spoiler censored
