Trending posts with sensitive media #2123

Open uwap opened 1 year ago

uwap commented 1 year ago

Pitch

Add an option to allow posts with sensitive media to trend or extend the option that allows posts with content notes to trend to also include posts with sensitive media

Motivation

Right now glitch-soc provides an option to allow posts with content notes to trend. However, sensitive posts are still excluded, if I understand it correctly. Any post containing media and CNs is automatically tagged as sensitive by mastodon, which effectively stops posts with CN and media from trending. With manual trend reviews enabled, even sensitive media should be able to potentially trend.

Hi, thanks for opening this issue!

I'm not sure what the rationale behind preventing toots with sensitive media from trending is in the first place, so I'm kinda in favour of removing the sensitive check completely, but assuming we want to keep it, I think the best option is to add an additional setting and require both being enabled for toots containing both to be eligible. Expanding the current setting or only requiring one of them to be enabled results in behaviour which might be unexpected.
