Back in the day, on other forums than this one, there were tags to differentiate between porn (nsfw) and gore (nsfl). This was nice for people browsing new that had no problem seeing tits, but wanted to avoid degloved hands.
Throughout the years, the NSFL tag went out of use. What happened?
Please make it configurable content warnings. I also want to filter fake news, things that aren’t porn but maybe not suited for minors either, and stuff that triggers people’s phobias or bad memories. And probably a few other categories.
And user-configurable policies like the Message Rewrite Facility from Pleroma.
Everything you just listed is the heart and soul of the internet today. Maybe you should just unplug and go to a library.
Or maybe we should give people choices on what they want to see? This doesn’t have to be an all or nothing thing.
I’m going the other way… when they build a filter that hides everything I don’t already agree with or that supports my side of arguments, I’m mainlining it straight to my nervous system
Coffee filter: check. Cannabis filter: check. Bacon sandwich filter: check. Cat filter: check. Butts butts butts butts butts butts butts filter: check. Ok I think we’re good to go
People label Michelangelo’s David as NSFW… That’s super crazy
Mainchan has separate tags for nsfw, nsfl, and political . It’s nice, but I’m not sure how well a “political” tag would actually work on a place as popular as lemmy. Someone will always say that everything’s political.
Which, to be fair to them - everything is, you know? Nothing is really absent of politics because nothing is really absent of us.
Yeah, I do actually agree with the sentiment. That’s why I don’t think it could really work in practice.
