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 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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

[–] 567PrimeMover@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

That's what I did, just went to https://kbin.social/d/lemmynsfw.com and hit the little 🚫 next to "subscribe." Hopefully there will be easier ways to block instances in the future

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.
