Yes, a renaissance artwork that contains naked women, actual hardcore porn, and a Russian soldier being blown to pieces in Ukraine, should not occupy the same "NSFW" tag...

Of course there's going to be grey area stuff, but 3 buckets like this is much much better than a single "everything people might not want to see" bucket.

But all the sfw porn subs ruined it.

Need a new tag like “sexporn” or “genitals”

I feel like the lines at that point get way too blurred. It would be like having a "porn" and "full blown porn" tag or hardcore versus softcore.

I will admit a distinct NSFW tag could be good for somewhat taboo stuff like mildly offensive jokes for example.

How do you actually find porn on Lemmy? I've tried and failed.

How so, for those of us who are avoidant of other places?

I think content warnings would be a better approach to this, all other fediverse software have content warnings anyway. Making community content to force use content warnings would be helpful too.

Porn vs gore

Not safe for lemmy

They are already there. But it's in wonky markdown....

There's plenty of combat footage in the various combat footage and Ukraine related communities.

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.

I think gore as well. Things can be nsfw but also not gore.

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.
