Okay, but then can you stop trying to use people talking about communities which include the ones you don’t want to engage with as a way to dismiss their claims as blown out of proportion?
Do you have an example beyond the one I made it clear I’m aware of? I block these too. They’re not popping up every day, which was your point.
I have the courtesy to marking my NSFW as NSFW
Did you miss the part where I said I do the same? I’m simply do not agree that there is any level of sense in filing the entirety category of anime content on lemmy, under nsfw. That is completely insane. It’s an art medium, not a pornhub genre.
beyond that I think the culture of ridiculously exploitative depictions of women in anime being defended as “not technically porn” is the root of some incredibly toxic aspects of modern culture, which is a completely separate issue I admit
I’m not sure where to even begin unpacking the prejudice towards anime-fans here. Sure there are issues, but come on.
it’s just bizarre how hostile people are to being asked to use the one tool we have to separate content.
Because it doesn’t work. The NSFW toggle is used to tag porn, spoilers, nsfl, and many other things, yet at the same time a ton of people use and expect it to work the way “not safe for work” implies. It’s a mess. We need arbitrary tagging.
In the meantime using it more than necessary DOES slow down the already glacial growth of federated social media. That’s a fact, not an opinion. Suggesting it should be applied to an entire fucking fandom is not far off wishing that that the entire fandom not be allowed on the fediverse.
also you’re trying to conflate adult-targeted content with a long and entrenched history of sexism with music preferences, and I know you know that’s a false equivalency
What long entrenched history of sexism? Weeb=sexist now? It seems to me you genuinely hate us. As a whole and individually. You want me hidden more than necessary because apparently the things I’m into make me sexist or worse. And/or my sharing the things I’m into, spreads this sexism, and worse.
Seriously, are you actually claiming that having to view a couple anime girls before blocking the relevant communities, for which a convenient list is provided, is so dangerous and corrupting that it warrants the “warning label” that is nsfw being applied to every single related post?

Engagement is any interaction, including viewing, from a user.
I don’t maximize for that. The only “engagement” I actively look for is the positive kind. You think I wouldn’t start marking things nsfw if it got a ton downvotes when I didn’t?
Currently, the reality is the other way around. Pointlessly tagged posts receive significantly less votes, but people looking for porn don’t vote, and people browsing normally, are less likely to check a post tagged nsfw.
Why is Thighdeology marked nsfw on reddit, yet still a hugely popular subreddit, but somehow that would be a deathknell for it to be the same on lemmy?
Critical mass. Tons of things are a death-knell to fediverse activity simply because it is tiny. Reddit can support a shitload of duplicate communities any one of which outweighs the single equivalent fediverse community by orders of magnitude.
Your list includes none of the many AI-specific anime art communities that are out there, I think you need to be a bit more proactive in your browsing.
I actively refuse to engage with AI content. There are active communities besides !share_anime_art@lemmy.dbzer0.com?
Asking people to specify every word they don’t want to be exposed to is absurd, when there’s already one single and very easy to append word - NSFW - that you are ardently rejecting on the basis that it would damage your interactions.
Finding a common word used in content you don’t like is no harder that blocking. The feature becoming generally available would allow us to implement arbitrary tags. Why does this suggestion offend you? It’s a genuine win-win solution.
if you don’t want sexualized (but arguably non-explicit) images of anime girls in your feed, you’d have to go through and view a bunch of them before you can block it. Surely you can see how that’s… pretty ridiculous? Potentially very demeaning?
That’s true for any category of content. Are you saying anime girls are somehow inherently bad or damaging to users, as compared to for example sports content?
I blocked music content from my feed this way. Should I feel demeaned for having been made to see things other people enjoy, but I don’t care for?
- Comment on NSFW on Lemmy 9 hours ago:
don’t want to see that content as worth less than the people who do
Why are people who want to see the content worth less than the ones who don’t? Anyone can block content. No-one is likely to find content they don’t even know is there.
engagement more important to you than curating an appreciative audience
Explain the difference between engagement and an appreciative audience.
given how many new highly specific “anime moe tiddy thigh-gap colored hair” communities crop up daily
I keep seeing this argument. What new communities? I run these! I haven’t made a new one in over a year, and I’ve only recently had to add half a dozen new entries to my list.
even just bringing out a different tag that isn’t blocked by default (which god, we really need even if just for spoilers) is a perfectly valid request.
Several clients offer word filtering. Asking for the feature in lemmy itself is fine, and something I fully support.

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.
- Comment on NSFW on Lemmy 10 hours ago:
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.

In hope they never go outside then.
Lota of people dress lightly in public, not to mention public art and adverts show quite a lot.
We have several statues of nude men and women in my city!
- Comment on NSFW on Lemmy 12 hours ago:
What are these new communities btw?
I maintain the list available here, and I’ve only neede to add half a dozen new communities in the last year.
You’re welcome to use it for blocking.
I will not be marking any of my communities nsfw, only content within them which warrants it.
- Comment on NSFW on Lemmy 13 hours ago:
I have nsfow content blocked. Because I don’t want porn in my feed.
I DO want the anime girls though.
Are you suggesting I should deal with a feed full porn?

“Hey, your partner is citing your terms and pushing us to pull certain titles, you ok with this?”
Not responding to that is response.
- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 2 days ago:
You really buy that?
Valve asked mastercard directly.
A lack of a response is a also a response, in this case essentially an endorsement of whatever their partner was telling Valve.

Yes.
Plausible deniability.

- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 3 days ago:
Of course they did.
They just did so from behind a veil of plausible deniability.
- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 3 days ago:
It’s npt even that vague.
Valve basically said: “we are not doing anything illegal”.
To which mastercard responded: “yeah but you’re making us look bad”.

There’s learning curve, but usually the community name is enough and then most clients will be able to suggest the instance.
Protip, read the sidebars! There’s often some of links to other relevant communities, allowing you to hop from community to community to get around and explore without a recent post needing to randomly show up in your feed.
