The one time i remember was when there was a cinterella parody on the gay community where instead of shoes it was a dildo (i can’t link the post because i didn’t have an account then but if someone can feel free to for whatever reason ) , and some 196 posts etc. do this too but the posts are beside the point the point is like i get it lighthearted fun. but i guess it could be better for lemmy overall if they do mark things like that. Anyway what are your thoughts ?
I think that NSFW would work better as a scale than as a single tag. That would also allow users to set the boundary on what they feel comfortable with, for example someone might not mind some artistic nudity but doesn’t want see HC porn.
Sadly, my idea breaks on one aspect: good luck having people consistent and accurately using the scale. Specially in an environment full of redditors.
I like your idea .
EDIT : Also we can solve the problem by removing posts that are not properly tagged.
While posts not properly tagged can be removed, it’s still yet another thing that could discourage engagement, if done poorly.
But perhaps introducing it gradually would solve this? At first just an additional degree (SFW vs. mild NSFW vs. hard NSFW), then gradually expanding it, just as much as necessary, and as the userbase gets used to it. (I think that five degrees or so should be enough.)
The scale could just have a name for each level
There should be a distinction between NSFW and NSFL as well. There is a huge difference between NSFW softcore and NSFW someone’s hand being degloved. (Do not google that)
So many people have NSFW stuff blocked completely (so it doesn’t even show a post) so your post will get less views/traction if you mark it as such.
Therefore a lot of borderline ones don’t get tagged
But I downvote/block untagged nsfw? How does that benefit people? Am I the only one doing it?
Everyone’s view of what is NSFW is different
