We need to be able to differentiate between NSFW and porn. (kbin.social)

A boob, a butt, or even some violence like one might see on the news anyway, I’m not freaked out about all that and I don’t feel the need to hide it from those around me usually… that’s all fine fine, but I don’t want porn on my feed like at all.

Editing for clarity here:

Those are all things that might get flagged NSFW that I don’t mind seeing in general. I’m not uptight about it, it’s just a little different to be inundated with hardcore pornography like… 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. I’m not opposed to porn, but there’s a reason it had its own room in the video store. And if you’re wanting to look at porn, there’s a good chance you’re ONLY looking for porn at that moment.

I'd be cool with both nsfw and xxx tags. Nsfw is so ubiquitous, I think it should stay, and xxx is pretty well defined and short.

This is a great solution.

I'd settle for a setting to make all NSFW posts automatically minimized so you have to click on it to reveal it without going to the real page for it, if that makes sense

Dude I opened kbin in a fairly public setting and one of the random posts was a guy with a MASSIVE cock, like the girth of a soda can. I wish there was a way for NFSW oriented magazines/communities/instances to automatically flag posts made to them as NSFW

Another example is that /r/vexillology used NSFW to literally mean "Not Safe For Work" e.g. any flag that might get you in trouble should it show up on your PC at work. So for example, a tag for "fascist imagery" instead could be used.

In this case I like the idea of magazines being able to define their own warnings.

I'm totally down for Brandon Sanderson subs having "NSFV" tags (will not explain this as it's a spoiler for his books).

Updated just for the NSFV joke. Nice to see a Cosmete fan in the wild.

I filed issue on the Codeberg suggesting they should use CWing system , like what mastodon uses . That way, more specificity of what's in a post before clicking . Blanket NSFW flags don't do this

I feel like “NSFW” was born out of an attempt to appear to not censor. We can probably be more specific here since we have options to avoid censorship of instances. Tags of what kind of content a post contains could help, but they’d need to be standardized somehow.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

We just need a more elaborate labeling system. Instead of the binary SFW/NSFW, we could have several labels:

light nudity (boob, butt, etc)
porn
gore
death

etc.

Anyone who posts this sort of content without the proper labels gets banned.

Your best bet right now is blocking the biggest NSFW instance, lemmynsfw.com
