What is nsfb? (Not Safe For Brand)
Reddit’s api returns an undocumented brand_safe field for content. It appears to be applied on a subreddit basis.
Snew displays a nsfb indicator when a post has a false brand_safe value.
It is believed that all subreddits are nsfb until manually reviewed as safe
I haven’t tested the veracity of the claim that reddit’s api returns this value as I’m not at a computer, but it’s certainly a much less extraordinary claim than “this particular post was deleted so as not to be mean to brands.”
Let’s don’t make Lemmy a place for misinformation to spread just yet, eh folks? Try to verify claims, especially extraordinary claims, even if they reinforce your world view.
(By the way none of this is to say that reddit doesn’t suck and they are absolutely just an ad-serving platform at this point.)
Thanks for being a voice of reason and not taking uncited claims on a random blog as fact like everyone else in this thread.
According to the notabug site itself:
