Because Lemmy doesn’t have a different kind of content warning. Some people get really nervous or even depressed by the massive amount of bad news floating around the world and just want a couple of minutes of funny memes to unwind. It’s just polite to mark such things, especially when posting them in communities that are usually reserved for more lighthearted content.
Edit: okay guys. Someone has to explain to me why this is getting downvoted. Is it factually incorrect? Is it rude? Or does it hurt your feelings that some people use the fediverse differently than you do?
The content warning is the title being ‘Content warning: gaza genocide’, you don’t need to also mark it nsfw when it isn’t nsfw. At least when it isn’t actually graphic in any way.
Besides, this isn’t the comm for lighthearted content anyways. Way too much politics here.
As for why you’re getting downvoted… it’s three people. They probably just think marking this nsfw is ridiculous, because the title is a content warning already. It also might be that people downvote anyone that says, “why am I getting downvotes!”
