@soweliniko It's kinda similar to politics if I had to compare it to something. Basically, most do it so that a person can interact with their main interests and posts while also being able to opt into the other posts optionally. I don't post or boost politics because I'm here for more computer related posting rather than politics but some people are way more into politics than me and because it defines them, they will post about it but they know it will turn some people away. I think that's pretty much similar to nsfw. People might have main interests they show but because the nsfw might turn some away, they place it behind an alt so as to focus on their main interests. Just like with politics, it doesn't have to be this way and some people consider it to be enough of a core interest that they don't have an alt for it. Sorry it took me way too many sentences to say all that but yeah, both are acceptable basically in my opinion and it's done to minimize alienation
