So, weird request/suggestion based on the attached image, which is kinda funny in of itself but i'll get to that.
I remember people noticing that with a previous Lemmy update, sometimes links to certain content - from what I can see, specifically news website articles (maybe this is amp link related because it's clearly not every webpage) and some video hosts - seemed to "auto-expand" inline on the hexbear page, allowing people to read the article or play the video without leaving the hexbear post/opening a new tab. Seemed like a cool enough feature.
This morning, I go ahead and click through to comments on a post about Leavitt wanting to denaturalise Momdani or some shit, and I get the image attached. My work sysadmin has applied a block rule to Tankie Tube which I would generally find unsurprising (small video hoster, unvetted by them so easy to just block. they've done it before to smalltime video rehosters used on the soccer subreddit because they all get nuked regularly), except they've flagged it as porn.
I find this funny because of our strict 
& 
stance, but unfortunately i don't think it's prudent to request a review with my work IT department to vet the site, because i then have to explain that I'm spending some time shitposting on work hours.
However, it's now a catch-22 where either I explain that Tankie Tube isn't porno but reveal that I browse hexbear on company time and get in trouble/fired, or I accidentally click posts that would otherwise be interesting and get flagged for "attempting to view porno" and get fired. I trust that none of you are dumb enough to suggest that I simply do not browse hexbear while at work 
So, is there a way at user-level to disable this function? There's an "Auto Expand Media" checkbox under settings, but that instead auto-expands every single image on the frontpage/postlist and doesn't have anything to do with the inline expansion of content when viewing an individual post.
They will not notice unless someone is actively monitoring the firewall, which in a small company is unlikely unless someone's bored.
I'd just prepare an excuse for if someone does approach you and just say 'someone shared me/I clicked through on what I thought was a YouTube link' and leave it at that
i got questions one time from a random low-level guy about catbox.moe, which i believe was just a small data host used occasionally on lemmy and reddit and i just said it was probably me trying to watch a soccer or wrestling clip
nothing came of that so i'm prob fine, but just got spooked by this one explicitly saying blocked for porn. I might just continue to roll the dice and hope a general helpdesk person asks me about tankietube if there's a concern, I'll tell the truth and say it's a youtube rehoster with no porn but they can keep it blocked if they want, hopefully they'll change the classification and won't tell my actual TL/manager
I try to maintain discipline with work computers with the idea that its all theoretically available to the boss. But its difficult with the whole internet right there.
Worse is the temptation to log on to work WiFi with phone. Its impossible to know what the phone is doing in the background while you just check one email or something. I just hope the huge volume of traffic of all the devices would prevent anyone trying to attribute specific devices.
What a busybody. Maybe it triggered more than just a firewall alert, like catbox being for bulk upload/download so could have been data exfiltration alert.
