A boob, a butt, or even some violence like one might see on the news anyway, Iām not freaked out about all that and I donāt feel the need to hide it from those around me usuallyā¦ thatās all fine fine, but I donāt want porn on my feed like at all.
Editing for clarity here:
Those are all things that might get flagged NSFW that I donāt mind seeing in general. Iām not uptight about it, itās just a little different to be inundated with hardcore pornography likeā¦ while on the train.
I joined a primarily social insurance, kbin.social. I am very open to what is in my feed, sometimes to the extremer ends of that. I just believe that porn is a separate thing entirely and should be separated in some way. Iām not opposed to porn, but thereās a reason it had its own room in the video store. And if youāre wanting to look at porn, thereās a good chance youāre ONLY looking for porn at that moment.
A boob, a butt, or some violence like combat footage or the like are all fine, but I donāt want porn on my feed like at all.
Likewise, but I want porn and none the violence. Make love, not war! š„µ
I donāt disagree - but just during this whole Ukraine / Russia thing Iāve found myself subscribing to some things where Iām likely to see footage from the field. To me this is just informational and in some ways important to see, despite the fact that it is difficult to take. Horrors of war and all that. Thatās a normal part of my daily news consumption while someone in a dog costume getting railed in an elevator at a convention is uhā¦ well it is what it is, and I donāt want it.

Thereās no need to be an asshole, buddy, people are into different things. Gonna say thereās a pretty good chance it wasnāt posted for you.
You went to all, you asked to be shown everything, and youāre upset because you saw something you didnāt want to see? Curate your feed, homie, thatās the whole damn point.
What Iām saying is that thereās āNSFWā which includes many things and then thereās āpornā which deserves a separate designation for those of us that are here to see literally anything but porn.
NSFW blocks everything that would be inappropriate at work, hence the name. The NSFW tag is working exactly as intended.
Right, youāre kind of arguing my point here. NSFW is not sufficient for most peopleās casual browsing experience and there should be additional designations, or just one, one for āporn,ā which would solve 99% of unwanted material on most peopleās feeds
No, youāre refusing to use the features already available to you. You have the option to not browse the entire everything.
Itās not like theyāre asking it to go away or to be curated for everyone. They just wanted to differentiate the type of NSFW. Sometimes if someones in the mood the last thing they want to see is some poor bastard get splattered on a road, other times when the morbid curiosity hits you donāt want to see someone showing their āOH!ā face.
You tell them to curate their feed, and thatās partly what they want to accomplish. Yes, there are tools in place to do it, but itās easier to find what you want by filtering down than it is to use some of the search tools.
I had this conversation on mastodon a month ago:
NSFW is too broad for a tag. We should move on from it and redefined content warning tag specific to the content.

Seriouslyā¦ there are so many things considered occasionally NSFW. Curse words, nudity, violence, suicide, even on Reddit anything tobacco related. I am personally very tolerant of all content, but I have lines with both gore and porn that I just donāt want the content mixed in with my casual browsing. I wish everyone would just take it to lemmynsfw so I could filter it appropriately, but due to relaxed instance rules even a generally tame instance like kbin.social constantly has new specific groups for me to ban. Just today it has beenfurry cartoon porn, feet, celebsā¦
Reddit never got this right either, but it seems like such an easy problem to solve. Thereās R-rated and thereās porn. Not sure if itās a result of people being too prude or too loosey goosey, but it seems very obvious to me.
To make it obvious to everyone it could be simply coded in the app. You could choose a category when posting then choose a category as an user.
Agreed, posts should have an arbitrary number of arbitrary tags, thatās a simple and flexible system thatās useful for a wide variety of things.
