The Fediverse should do what redditors have always wanted and Reddit Inc. has always refused to do; Distinguish between NSFW and NSFL.

Just do NSFW and PORN.
Porn is the reason for wanting a distinction, so don't beat around the bush.A gore or nsfl tag is much more important than a porn one. The disturbing shit that will haunt my nightmares is what I want to keep off my feed, I'm not particularly worried about accidentally seeing some genitals.
No, the NSFL tag is more important imo. I don't mind seeing tits randomly, I do not wanna see gore ever, period.
Even NSFL could be ideally split into NSFL and ENSFL (Extremely Not Safe for Life)
I don't mind seeing like an X-RAY of somebody who broke their arm in 4 places, but a photo of it IRL and blood everywhere is ENSFL
But I don't think an X-RAY would even qualify as NSFL, would it? I mean you see that factually, that probably hurts, but you get zero impression of it.
Kinda like fotos of the atomic bomb explosions from WW2. You know some people are suffering in the very moment that foto was taken, but you can't see it, so it's not NSFL.
Or do you have a dofferent oppinion?Good distinction.
I think gore as well. Things can be nsfw but also not gore.
at that point it'd probably be better to just have a CW system like Mastodon
People keep saying this, but it wouldn't allow for simple filtering, as there would be far too many unknowns.
true
That’s not what the terms are aimed at though? NSFW covers a very broad range of things. You expect it to be pork 95% of the time, so it already means that. The main thing people want to separate are things like gore, death, racism, etc. So that’s what is being asked for. Separate links out because a NSFL link should seldom be clicked on but imo deserves to exist for discussion and calling out people on legitimate issues.
I was never a fan of the “death porn” put on Reddit but I do appreciate the real and unsanitized reality of some situations when the news can’t show them.
oh yeah I'm doing bro don't worry
