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.
