Nsfw, Nsfl, and "Porn"

I like nsfw memes but dont want my feed full of porn. I have a seperate account for porn.

Or just copy Mastodon and do content warnings. They're a lot more versatile.

Not Safe for Work versus Not Safe for Life?

I haven't seen anything gorey here, luckily. I would much rather see an automatic video tag for both titles and comments. Kind of sick of opening YouTube unintentionally.

Can we add spoilers too?

RIGHT!?!?! Like I hate taking a gamble on whether I'll see an infected maggot ridden foot or a big breasted cat girl turning into a Willy Wonka blueberry.

At least I did on Reddit, I can't get the porn to show up on Lemmy outside of one or two completely dead instances I have to go out of my way for.

Absolutely. Throwing everything that you may not want to open at work in with hardcore porn as an all-or-nothing view choice is incredibly shortsighted.

Where even are you seeing gore? I left Reddit a while back and I miss eyeblech.

NSFW and NSFL can mean different things to different people and cultures.

Best example is that in some countries, showing a boob isn't straight away NSFW as much as it is in America.

Opposite example: In America, showing blood is almost G rated at this point (at least it feels that way to a non-American watching American media). In China you effectively can't show blood in any media.

As has been mentioned in the comments already one solution would be more specific categories, probably customizable by site admins to suit their particular site culture. Either that or a site can stick to just a single NSFW tag to donate a more "hey, this might not be the best thing to look at".

Just do NSFW and PORN.
Porn is the reason for wanting a distinction, so don't beat around the bush.

This is one of my dream features to make lemmynsfw moderation easier, alongside site mods and content warnings (alongside the ability to edit and force nsfw on posts in specific communities... and maybe being able to by default turn off instances caching OUR images as a "do not cache" server flag....)

I can see many people in the comments mentioning various levels of specificity for the tags. I think porn and gore should perhaps have a tag each. Maybe one or two more categories, but having too many would complicate posting on Lemmy a lot. For example, whether or not to put a politics tag may be ambiguous in some cases. I'm not sure about historical artwork, as there are situations where it's normal to be viewing it. There are also some works that I'd rather not be seen looking at in all places: some of that stuff got weird. Not to mention: people marking things NSFW as a joke just confuses things further.

I never noticed it being a big problem though. I think just having one, two , maybe three different tags at most and letting communities play it by ear would work fine.
