A boob, a butt, or some violence like combat footage or the like are all fine, but I don’t want porn on my feed like at all.
Likewise, but I want porn and none the violence. Make love, not war! 🥵

I don’t disagree - but just during this whole Ukraine / Russia thing I’ve found myself subscribing to some things where I’m 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. That’s a normal part of my daily news consumption while someone in a dog costume getting railed in an elevator at a convention is uh… well it is what it is, and I don’t want it.

Oh, that's just terrible! Share the location of that post, will you? I wouldn't want to stumble upon it by accident!
Nice try compadre
💯
I even find movie violence quite disturbing sometimes.
But not video game violence. That I'm perpetrating. I'm not sure if that says anything about me.
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.

(Sorry I can’t find the convo my instance muted mastodon.social so posts are not being displayed. It’s a mess)
Seriously… 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 don’t 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, celebs…
Reddit never got this right either, but it seems like such an easy problem to solve. There’s R-rated and there’s porn. Not sure if it’s a result of people being too prude or too loosey goosey, but it seems very obvious to me.

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?
Remember when /all showed nsfw/porn threads? That was fun/scary/interesting. I’m not saying one way or another which is “better”, but ultimately having individual options might be best.
For me the issue is, I want to be able to set a filter on /all where the porn isn't rocking up but the combat footage etc is.
I just want the NSFW thumbnails to be blurred out. I'm on Kbin, and I distinctly remember checking a box that said it would do that, but it doesn't do that. So I had to check the box to remove all NSFW from my feed, which I also don't want, but don't-want less than I don't-want my boss or my SO to look over my shoulder and see boobs in the "random posts" sidebar.
On jerboa even if it's blurred it is clear what the image is if it's an ass or a crotch or tits or something involving a pet 🤔... I don't want to see anything like that especially CP, blurred or not.
Maybe a better option would be some kind of uniform "avert your eyes" warning thumbnail. Probably would save a minuscule amount of server resources too.
That's why I say we need a NSFW and a CONTENT_WARNING. The nice thing about content warning is that it's generic enough to have multiple uses. It can cover gore and death, but it can also cover trigger warnings for sensitive spaces.

Perhaps in addition to allowing some communities to set themselves as NSFW by default, Kbin could also let communities set up tags that get automatically added to their posts? That way the porn ones could add #porn, the combat footage ones could add #gore, etc. "NSFW" would be a special tag that indicates that the contents should be blurred or otherwise hidden from accidental view, and the user could then decide whether they wanted to view it anyway based on the tags that were on it. Meanwhile something that was a perfectly innocent academic debate on the subject of porn could have the #porn tag but not the NSFW flag, and it'd be shown normally.

For everything else outside of gore and porn I like browsing with image previews enabled and “all” instead of “subscribed,” and I want to see things that at least on Reddit were forced to be marked as nsfw. Maybe in the Fediverse NSFW is only limited to those things and I can turn it off, which I have, but I do not want to miss content from medium-adult posts just because of my preference to not jerk at all times of day.

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.
I think just plain tags would be best
Violence
Nudity
Porn
Make it simple so there is no confusion. I don't mind seeing nudity. I am sometimes in the mood for porn. I have no appetite for violent imagery.
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.

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.

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.

I agree
Scrolling “all” for increased exposure it’s like… news article, kitty cat, meme, anti-Reddit post, GAPING HOLES, puppy…

dont subscribe to pornographic magazines
Because there are so many instances and so many communities across those instances that I can’t possibly subscribe to everything I want to see, it’s nice to view “all” while figuring out the groups I want to see. I’d miss a lot if I limited it to “subscribed.”
