Now that we're finally out of reddit, can we finally get different tag for NSFW and NSFL?

Submitted ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨mcmoor@bookwormstory.social⁩ to ⁨fediverse@lemmy.world⁩

For the uninitiated, generally NSFW is for sexual contents and NSFL is for gory contents. People may want to see one but not see the other at any time for any reason. I have seen this feature requested over the years in Reddit but it never happens. Maybe now some instance can finally implement it?

Wouldn’t it be better to have more specific tags?

    An advanced search would be so fing good for Lemmy. I realize that the problem is mainly how most modern search engines can’t do wildcard top level domain searches so you can’t really look up posts from lemmy[.]world or etc., but then Lemmy also has wildly variable domain names too which makes searching all the more difficult. A solution for this is so critical for discoverability and usefulness

  Perhaps categories first then the specifics? (e.g. NSFL: Gore)

    Personally I’ve never liked the idea of NSFL. It just doesn’t feel like it has the eighth connotation, it’s wording feels like it’s meant to be a joke when it’s content is rarely funny. I think just using “Gore” or “Death” would be absolutely better.

FrederikNJS@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
It would be wonderful with something more granular than “NSFW”…

I would love if we got something even more granular like a "Content Warning: ".

Examples:

Content Warning: nudity - might be a painting with nude people, might be a photo of nude people, in essence if it isn’t porn, but there’s exposed genitals, butts or breasts.

Content Warning: porn - you can probably guess…

Content Warning: gore - images with gore, people missing body parts, often dead as well.

Content Warning: death - images with people dying, but without gore.

Content Warning: blood - images with some blood, but no death or gore. (often seen in news articles)

Thes could of course be expanded with many more categories if need be.

  The first two and the last three are the same lol.
  
  There really isn’t any need for tuning them even further. They’re both already niche enough as is. The people who are good with the two are good with both. The people good with the last three are ‘good’ with any. You genuinely cannot get any of them without the other lol.

  - Lemminary@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
    Yeah, it’d be better to implement OP’s idea, see how it goes, and then see if there’s need for the others. Gradual changes help admins see what works best, I think.

    Intensity warning is a good thing. Though it does make tagging complicated, but in this case overlapping tags would do. blood-death and gore-death and simply death.
    
    probably shouldn’t borrow the exact terms from fandom, but they have tag modifiers like ‘dead dove: do not eat’ which basically means this is an absolute celebration of the previous tag, so gore tag coupled with that tag is gore intensified to the max, while they also use tags ‘slight mentions of gore’ for only a bit of gore. but if you filter out gore both would still be filtered out.
    
    AO3 runs on open source software and has a very robust tagging system.

I would have thought that such a feature would be completely uncontroversial. Really weird that some people seem resistant to it.

source
- Chainweasel@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
  Most of the resistance to it on Reddit was because NSFL content was technically not allowed on the site at all and adding a specific tag for NSFL material could be seen at legitimizing it. But they didn’t heavily moderate it either so I don’t see the point in refusing a tag for it if they’re not going to do anything about it themselves either.
  What really blows my mind though is the subset of people that want a NSFW tag to mean Gore/Death and a separate PORN tag for titties and such. I mean, we already have established terms for those so why not stick with what everyone already knows them by?

Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
I’ve always thought, of all the options to warn us that clicking will put titties on our screen, that “not safe for work” was a bad choice.

Like, what if your work doesn’t care about titties? What about the tons of other times you wouldn’t want those to pop into your screen without warning, like when you’re on public transit, or sitting next to grandma?

I’d vote for “LEWD” vs “GORE” or something more clear - users can decide for themselves when it is or isn’t safe.

    I think it’s both. Instead of trying to update the codebase with one new database attributes for each conceivable way to tag content, you simply put in facilities to abstract that - “show only posts with tag foobar”, “hide all posts with tag foobar”.

Teodomo@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
I don’t care about Reddit (or about growing Lemmy) as much as the average post I see in Lemmy, but if you wanted to migrate people from the former to the latter this is one of the easier ways to help do it. It’s one of those small quality of life things that are asked for periodically. If Lemmy had it it’d be mentioned in Reddit every time people are pissed with the site (which is every day for most sites, including Reddit). It’d be free mouth to mouth publicity for Lemmy

    It would also allow for different filters. Blur NSFW, but not nsfl, or vice versa. Or even only show post of one and hide others entirely, without having to block communities by hand.

What is NSFL?

I’ve never seen or heard of it before.

NSFW is not a Reddit thing. It was around and already popular years before Reddit came along.

I agree that NSFW should be more granular but let’s keep the acronym because everyone already knows what it means and I see no reason to move away from it.

Also NSFV for not suitable for vegans for anything involving animals, meat, or animal processing. That way we can tag those posts and if they complain about them we know they’re just raging because they’re insufferable assholes.

blue_berry@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
I think it would be better to add the option to mark posts as “sensitive” or “not save for work”, which are then blurred for the user and appear when clicked on.

The rest should be up to moderation and everything else is just solutionism.
