MODERATORS
I feel like the lines at that point get way too blurred. It would be like having a "porn" and "full blown porn" tag or hardcore versus softcore.
I will admit a distinct NSFW tag could be good for somewhat taboo stuff like mildly offensive jokes for example.
Would be kind of hilarious. You can have one normal tag like "serious" is for ask lemmy, then a million tags like soft core, forced, NSFL, etc...
Like the fediverse would be catering to SO MUCH PORN at that point
I don't think it would mean much with each instance having their own rules.
I can only imagine instances arguing and defederating from each other because they have different rules regarding tagging.
What if we just had specific tags that we could filter for. everything gets the nsfw tag but we have specific tags for nudity, violence, etc.
I'm not sure my concern would still be blurred lines and people either forgetting to use tags or not realizing how or when to use them. For example a news article about police violence getting tagged with the violence tag on some instances but not others.
I'm also opposed to auto or over moderation and I feel like it's one of those things that could potentially push Lemmy in that direction eventually.
