Comment on NSFW on Lemmy

  So you’re good with everything except the nipple? I mean, I’m not even particularly hardline about this topic, that just seems like a really really niche use case that you want catered to

    I’m good with nipples.

    I have nipples in my phone wallpaper rotation. But the relevant pieces fall into the artistic rather than pornographic category.

    NSFW is a insanely fuzzy concept that allows you to draw the line essentially anywhere. It’s why I’m on an instance that blocks porn, rather than just using an account with nsfw tagges content disabled. Because that way I can keep nsfw enabled, and not miss less stuff I want to see because some people will mark stuff I would never in my wildest dream think is nsfw.

    My instance manually blocks instances and communities that are pornographic. Because that’s literally the only way this can work.

    There will always be someone who thinks any given piece of content should/shouldn’t be considered nsfw.

    It’s a gradient that allows you slightly lean in onendirection or the other, so stop acting like it should “at least” do anything. It will never draw a clear line.

      So… nothing being presented here would effect you at all, then? If you don’t have NSFW content blocked, and your instance manually reviews blocked instances, marking softcore stuff as NSFW wouldn’t change how you interact with that content (unless your instance is overly zealous in blocking). So what’s the problem here?

        I run a ton of these communities.

        And I care about the fediverse as a whole.

        Marking content nsfw without reason will immediately kneecap community and content discovery.

        I do still use the feature. And I calibrate the line of what is and what is not, based on votes, comments and reports.

        One, single, upset person, is not reason enough cut off dozens or hundreds of people from encountering content they might like.
