A boob, a butt, or even some violence like one might see on the news anyway, Iā€™m not freaked out about all that and I donā€™t feel the need to hide it from those around me usuallyā€¦ thatā€™s all fine fine, but I donā€™t want porn on my feed like at all.

Editing for clarity here:

Those are all things that might get flagged NSFW that I donā€™t mind seeing in general. Iā€™m not uptight about it, itā€™s just a little different to be inundated with hardcore pornography likeā€¦ 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. Iā€™m not opposed to porn, but thereā€™s a reason it had its own room in the video store. And if youā€™re wanting to look at porn, thereā€™s a good chance youā€™re ONLY looking for porn at that moment.

      His point is he doesnā€™t want to be shown everything. He wants a distinction between material thatā€™s inappropriate for a workplace environment, and porn.

        You wouldnā€™t think this concept would be so controversial or difficult to understand but hey itā€™s the internet

          You donā€™t think thereā€™s a middle ground here where maybe NSFW is far too restrictive in most modern platforms, especially Reddit where almost every profile that discusses drugs or sex or cigarettes or whatever is marked NSFW, and maybe just ā€œpornā€ which is literally illegal to display to minors in the USA? I like drugs, I like sex, I got no problem talking about any of it. But if I want to see a complete feed thereā€™s no room to even ASK for an option to see everything that isnā€™t porn?

                Like, I get it dude. You like drugs and porn. Itā€™s literally your username. In the world I imagine, you would have both the ā€œShow NSFW contentā€ box checked as well as the ā€œDisplay pornographic contentā€ box, youā€™d have every box checked Iā€™m sure because you get on here after taking two xans and a puff of A-PiHP and jerk it for hours, which is FINE! I donā€™t care.

                MOST PEOPLE on here want to see new content outside of what they have subscribed to because the Fediverse is huge and itā€™s impossible to subscribe to everything you want to see. Most of those people arenā€™t trying to watch porn, and would prefer to filter it out. To have that option, without also removing everything else that might be deemed ā€œNSFWā€ would be PRETTY COOL.

                NOBODY is trying to fuck up your hobby or take anything away from you. Itā€™s just a slightly altered feed based on some common sense practices.

                    If only I actually was talking to myself instead of compulsively responding to bad faith arguments from a handful of people here I would have done a much better job paying attention to the mindless television I was trying to watch last night. Felt just like reddit again for a few minutes there, but now back to uhā€¦ anything other than arguing on the internet. Keep on abiding.

      What Iā€™m saying is that thereā€™s ā€œNSFWā€ which includes many things and then thereā€™s ā€œpornā€ which deserves a separate designation for those of us that are here to see literally anything but porn.

          Right, youā€™re kind of arguing my point here. NSFW is not sufficient for most peopleā€™s casual browsing experience and there should be additional designations, or just one, one for ā€œporn,ā€ which would solve 99% of unwanted material on most peopleā€™s feeds

              Itā€™s not like theyā€™re asking it to go away or to be curated for everyone. They just wanted to differentiate the type of NSFW. Sometimes if someones in the mood the last thing they want to see is some poor bastard get splattered on a road, other times when the morbid curiosity hits you donā€™t want to see someone showing their ā€œOH!ā€ face.

              You tell them to curate their feed, and thatā€™s partly what they want to accomplish. Yes, there are tools in place to do it, but itā€™s easier to find what you want by filtering down than it is to use some of the search tools.

              Have a good night my fellow internet person. Not worth the argument. Most people are able to see the difference here and itā€™s in line with how most people use social media in most places most of the time. I donā€™t want to see snuff films either but thatā€™s not clogging up half the ā€œallā€ feed requiring me to block multiple subs per day.

                I donā€™t see peopleā€™s issue with your argument. Reddit does this implicitly by blocking porn subs from the front page. I dont want this here but there should just be a sub tag to have it filtered out.

              So imagine NSFW (or 18+) as a circle and sexual content as a smaller circle within it. Some people look for NSFW (say, combat footage), but not porn. If a post was designated within ā€œsexual contentā€, it would also put it within the realm of NSFW, so it wonā€™t show up to someone who doesnā€™t want to see NSFW, but if someone is fine with NSFW but not sexual content, they wonā€™t see porn, but will be able to see NSFW.
