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 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.
True. However, there is no reason adding a more nuanced tagging system would impact the ability to do that. You can still browse at work when you should be working, just check all the boxes first.
I, on the other hand, really like art. Sometimes that involves nudity, but it tends to be more incidental to the work and thus more tasteful than the internet’s repository of porn gifs. I really like medical subs, which back on reddit expressed itself in following posted medical cases that were often fairly graphic.
I have no interest in seeing someone get spit roasted at really any point in my day, and there’s so much more of it that it would be impossible to find much of anything else nsfw in hours of scrolling. I can’t just block all the porn subs like I could on reddit, I’ve tried, there are more being made every day.
I don’t think most people want to see what happens to your face when the shotgun doesn’t kill you, either, when all they’re trying to do is jerk off for a minute. At best, that’s just gonna give someone a kink they can’t talk about.
As it is now, m/all is a giant porn sub and I’m relegated ONLY to my subscriptions. If I turn the filter on to deal with the porn, I can no longer access my own subs. If I leave it off, it is everywhere and the sheer amount of it noticeably impacts my ability to even use m/all to find subs I may not have the terms to search or just never knew I wanted. Which destroys the point of having an All.
I think if we broke it down more, both sides would be served and no one would ever have to hear about it again
Pretty much exactly what I’ve been trying to say, just more eloquently. Incidental art nudity and medical stuff etc., exactly. I guess it ruffled the feathers of some folks with the way I worded it or people just really are that upset about what seems to be an absolutely benign thing to me.
