We need to be able to differentiate between NSFW and porn.
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 don't want to be contrarian here, but I don't think we do. The title should be more than enough to determine the kind of nsfw it is. I'm not saying we don't need the feature, but I've never clicked a link thinking it would be porn and got gore or similar.
Porn doesn't usually come from communities that aren't porn communities so it isn't really ever an issue. An I off base here?
As a moderator of r/nudism on Reddit, I fully support this message. While we don't find an image of a naked person any more or less offensive or sexual than an image of a naked dog or cat (please don't read anything in to that, pervs) we do recognize that nudity is NSFW for most people's workplaces. That said, we worked very hard to keep the sub rated as all ages, SFW, and required any image that contained nudity (which was rare) to be marked NSFW.
As with most things, there is nuance and the devil is in the details.
Edit:
A modest suggestion, have multiple tags. Violence, Nudity, Sex, Drugs, or whatever else. Users can choose to filter based on their personal views.
Agreed. NSFW to me is synonymous with porn, and everything else may as well have a more literal label. 'gore' 'PDC potentially disturbing content' whatever.
Additionally, is there a way to block a magazine (hopefully I'm using the correct term) aside from having to actually go in there and click on the block button? If a properly skeezy one shows up on my general feed I'd prefer to not have to actually open it to filter it out if that makes sense.
I feel like people miss the entire point of nsfw. It is supposed to be so you can have a way to filter everything so you could theoretically not see bad shit on a work computer.
Nsfw should be a catch all, and almost overly restrictive, that way you can comfortably go to reddit, kbin, Lemmy or whatever on a work computer without fear of bad shit popping up.
Boobs, a butt, a missile decapitating someone… ok! What about a penis? Is that artistic and okay or is that unwanted porn?
The NSFW tag works well enough. We don’t need to start tagging what is unwanted porn, what is violence, what is wanted porn, what is art. The tag along with the title of the post should be enough.
There needs to be a levels system instead of a letters system.
NSF(W)1: you wouldn't look at it in front of your boss in a corporate setting. Anything slightly risque in nature.
NSF(W)2: Written graphic text
NSF(W)3: Maybe a nip slip, or an African tribeswoman in native dress
NSF(W)4: Some intermediary step here
NSF(W)5: Nudes, porn, etc.
NSF(L)1: Fight footage with mild-medium violence
NSF(L)2: Death
NSF(L)3: Graphic death. Gore. Beheadings. Etc.
They don't even need to be in order, but there should be a classification system. Once the classification system is implemented, we can set classifications to view/not view in our settings.
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
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).
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
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.
