Argument 1: nobody else has it so why should we? Because we are new, the next step - we improve what needs to be done better.

Argument 2: reddit is full of porn… see above. We can make it better, at very little cost to anyone.

Argument 3 is undermining your first 2, but I agree. This would cause a few instances to become very popular and render the concept of federation unnecessary.

I don’t understand how a bunch of people here are basically say /all is a sewer, accept it.

I’m say it is not and doesn’t have to be. It is a place for discovery, and there is a way to make that more pleasant. Another commenter said an AI filter would also be good.

All I am suggesting is In addition to having the Fediverse allowing posts and communities to be marked NSFW, to allow for more filters. One filter like what I am suggesting could be a snowflake or FamFriendly filter which removes suggestive, soft porn or racy or soft gore stuff. Another could be AI which removes synthetically generated content.

How anyone can be against that is beyond me. I’m not asking for these things to be turned on by default, or to shove it down people’s throats. By default /all would still be the same

I understand NSFW and FamilyFriendly are blurry concepts. It is still up to the post OPs, community creators, moderators and instance administrators to use these properly.

People are against it because several reasons.

First because it’s a very specific taste/opinion that they don’t share. You are saying that “all would be more appealing without softcore porn”, but it seems that you are the only one who thinks that here, most people don’t care or even like it. We could also put a filter to blurry dog pictures for people scare of dogs, where does it end? Until which point personal tastes should have their own explicit filters? It ends in a “word filter” which is already usable.

Also I would say that most people is against this because it reads as a first step towards a “porn ban”. We have no puritan advertisements or pay processor to please. People here like the freedom. And that would be a step in the opposite direction. It reads a little like so many discourses we are seeing in so many places to make them “family friendly” and to “protect the children”. I would suppose that due the nature of the fediverse (which is a push back against those people controlling our internet) is against anything that looks like that.

  Ok, I hear you. But as I said, it’s just adding filter options to those snowflakes like me, while not changing a single pixel for those like yourself.
  
  Allowing superior UX for more people is how you make the internet better.
  
  Nobody is advocating for a ban, nor can or will this be used as a first step towards one.

    History has proven you wrong since as early as the Dark Ages and as recently as two weeks ago in the UK.

    Mate no. the UK ban did not originate from a federated open source community implementing filter systems.
    
    Stop spreading absolute panic bullshit like this.
    
    I would say, show me historic proof, but I doubt you’re that type of person.
