- thomasgerbe 15y agoThe headline mentions 4chan.
- ajarmoniuk 15y agoUnlike what most people probably think, not all boards on 4chan are NSFW and the home page is certainly SFW. 4chan is not just /b/.
- brigade 15y agoIt's way too common to find porn on the blue boards and by extension the front page.
- iamandrus 15y ago/co/ is fine for work.
- runn1ng 15y agoI linked a SFW board. (you can tell 4chan's SFW boards from NSFW by the background; the blue ones are - or, at least, should be - SFW, the yellow ones are NSFW)
- SomeOtherGuy 15y agoSo, you missed the domain, and were subject to the horrors of people discussing comics? Why exactly do we need to protect you from this terrible fate?
- radicalbyte 15y agoSome employers flag at domain level and actively monitor internet use. Developer news / discussion sites like HN are fine, but something like 4chan.org or somethingaweful.com aren't.
- stfu 15y agoSo you are complaining about (the linking to) a site protesting against censorship (+etc) because this could interfere with the censorship mechanisms implemented by some employers?
- falling 15y agomore likely it interferes with his job.
- SomeOtherGuy 15y agoSo how does that support your initial reaction at all? Comics aren't NSFW just because you work in a shithole. Tons of things get posted here that aren't related to software development, you think they should all be tagged as NSFW?
- Zirro 15y agoHere you go: td.title a[href*="4chan.org"] { color: rgb(255, 50, 50) !important; } Customize it to only apply to news.ycombinator.com for your choice of browser and CSS-manipulation add-on :)
