Agreed that I'd rather have a choice. Especially so on a NSFW server. (And if it wouldn't be too much I'd like the option for blur as well.) User choice is the way to go.
Great work! User preferences diverge - I wanted "no blur", but also "no auto expand" for myself.
While having this in my instance of choice is great, Lemmy as a whole would benefit from improving the default webui with things like these settings. Where could users pitch ideas like this?
