Or just copy Mastodon and do content warnings. They’re a lot more versatile.

Not Safe for Work versus Not Safe for Life?
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 looking. Gore, usually.
Al Gore?
Lol even I thought it’s not safe for life and was wondering what’s that about
Can we add spoilers too?
They are already there. But it’s in wonky markdown…

Edit: Cool, it works.
Just do NSFW and PORN.
Porn is the reason for wanting a distinction, so don’t beat around the bush.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.
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.
oh yeah I’m doing bro don’t worry
I haven’t seen anything gorey here, luckily. I would much rather see an automatic video tag for both titles and comments. Kind of sick of opening YouTube unintentionally.
Absolutely. Throwing everything that you may not want to open at work in with hardcore porn as an all-or-nothing view choice is incredibly shortsighted.
Yeah, porn stars would appreciate being able to see their work without having to expose themselves to Gore et al
RIGHT!?!?! Like I hate taking a gamble on whether I’ll see an infected maggot ridden foot or a big breasted cat girl turning into a Willy Wonka blueberry.
At least I did on Reddit, I can’t get the porn to show up on Lemmy outside of one or two completely dead instances I have to go out of my way for.
Some of these responses seem to find bouncers and springers more gross than wounds, death and diseases. Like a bunch of psycho puritan Catholic warmongers.
We grew up watching people getting cut in half in movies while mom covered our eyes if a nipple appeared lol
Bouncers and sprigners?
Melons and popsicles.
Sandbags and beercans.
Milkjugs and wieners.
I’m trying to make it American friendly, they’re very sensitive people when it comes to this type of thing. Images of Auschwitz would be mild to them if it weren’t for how naked all the people were.
Big PP and Booba
Where even are you seeing gore? I left Reddit a while back and I miss eyeblech.
There’s plenty of combat footage in the various combat footage and Ukraine related communities.
This is one of my dream features to make lemmynsfw moderation easier, alongside site mods and content warnings (alongside the ability to edit and force nsfw on posts in specific communities… and maybe being able to by default turn off instances caching OUR images as a “do not cache” server flag…)
I can see many people in the comments mentioning various levels of specificity for the tags. I think porn and gore should perhaps have a tag each. Maybe one or two more categories, but having too many would complicate posting on Lemmy a lot. For example, whether or not to put a politics tag may be ambiguous in some cases. I’m not sure about historical artwork, as there are situations where it’s normal to be viewing it. There are also some works that I’d rather not be seen looking at in all places: some of that stuff got weird. Not to mention: people marking things NSFW as a joke just confuses things further.
I never noticed it being a big problem though. I think just having one, two , maybe three different tags at most and letting communities play it by ear would work fine.
NSFL is just another name for gore or footage of death or injury. “Not safe for life” is not a thing. There’s no actual image that can kill you unless you have epilepsy or some other form of photosensitivity. I heard “Not safe for looking” but that’s an idiotic acronym, and most people don’t interpret NSFL that way at first, and it still has the connotation that it can physically harm you for some reason.
Why not have the four-letter abbreviation of gore be… GORE?
