Now that we're finally out of reddit, can we finally get different tag for NSFW and NSFL?
For the uninitiated, generally NSFW is for sexual contents and NSFL is for gory contents. People may want to see one but not see the other at any time for any reason. I have seen this feature requested over the years in Reddit but it never happens. Maybe now some instance can finally implement it?
Wouldn't it be better to have more specific tags like movies? e.g. "Sexual content", "Gore", "Death", "Violence" or for content that you truly want to avoid; "US Politics".
It would be wonderful with something more granular than "NSFW"...
I would love if we got something even more granular like a "Content Warning: ".
Examples:
Content Warning: nudity - might be a painting with nude people, might be a photo of nude people, in essence if it isn't porn, but there's exposed genitals, butts or breasts.
Content Warning: porn - you can probably guess...
Content Warning: gore - images with gore, people missing body parts, often dead as well.
Content Warning: death - images with people dying, but without gore.
Content Warning: blood - images with some blood, but no death or gore. (often seen in news articles)
Content Warning: violence - people fighting, but without turning bloody.
These could of course be expanded with many more categories if need be.
I've always thought, of all the options to warn us that clicking will put titties on our screen, that "not safe for work" was a bad choice.
Like, what if your work doesn't care about titties? What about the tons of other times you wouldn't want those to pop into your screen without warning, like when you're on public transit, or sitting next to grandma?
I'd vote for "LEWD" vs "GORE" or something more clear - users can decide for themselves when it is or isn't safe.
I don't care about Reddit (or about growing Lemmy) as much as the average post I see in Lemmy, but if you wanted to migrate people from the former to the latter this is one of the easier ways to help do it. It's one of those small quality of life things that are asked for periodically. If Lemmy had it it'd be mentioned in Reddit every time people are pissed with the site (which is every day for most sites, including Reddit). It'd be free mouth to mouth word of mouth (being ESL is funny sometimes) publicity for Lemmy
Yes please and just call it what it is! "Brutal" and "sexual" feg. Because I for one work in a sex fight fetish porn production studio so to me all of this is very sfw.
I think it would be better to add the option to mark posts as "sensitive" or "not save for work", which are then blurred for the user and appear when clicked on.
The rest should be up to moderation and everything else is just solutionism.
Don't we have enough sick shit going on with the child porn thing that happened? You want to add a tag for Not Safe For Life content? I feel like I'm in bizarro world.
I would vote for never ever having that content on Lemmy.
Also NSFV for not suitable for vegans for anything involving animals, meat, or animal processing. That way we can tag those posts and if they complain about them we know they're just raging because they're insufferable assholes.
EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that all vegans are insufferable assholes. I know a bunch of vegans who are awesome people. I'm just suggesting that the ones who rage at people who don't share their beliefs and who try to shove their beliefs down other people's throats are insufferable assholes.
EDIT 2: Oh no, I've upset the insufferable assholes! Oh wait, this is Lemmy and their downvotes don't mean anything!
NSFW is not a Reddit thing. It was around and already popular years before Reddit came along.
I agree that NSFW should be more granular but let's keep the acronym because everyone already knows what it means and I see no reason to move away from it.
