Any chance to have a separated [PORN] tag to avoid blocking all kind of NSFW posts? (lemmy.world)

Many NSFW have nothing to do with porn. Sometimes are horror contents, some times are crude images, some times are just lazy people who don't know of the Spoiler tag. Can we have a quick and easy way to filter off all the (very funny but not alway wanted) Porn posts without locking out those other contents???

I think horror or gore should go to NSFL rather than moving porn off NSFW. NSFW had traditionally meant porn where NSFL has meant gore, there just hasn't been a separate NSFL tag because that type of content has been discouraged and giving it it's own tag could be seen as legitimizing it.

    Horror doesn't mean gore and people use the nsfw tag for things other than porn, gore or horror too.

    The tags are currently worked on, if you want to say something to make a change, write there.

    Github issue that started the tags conversation. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/317

    I don't think tags would be a solution as they wouldn't be standard threadiverse-wide. Also porn communities would want to mark their posts with specifying tags like every other community does instead of a generic porn tag.

    What's needed is expansion of the nsfw mark into subcategories

    there is proposal for three types of tags: NSFW, spoiler and generic. NSFW and spoiler will blur the images, and generic tags are for content categorization. NSFW and spoiler tags should have the same behavior on lemmy. kbin dev will want to make parity change for his feature.

    I still don't think it'd be enough to leave nsfw tag creation to communities. Even if a porn community created multiple tags under nsfw to classify their posts that would do nothing to help people block all porn on the platform. Porn, gore etc need to be their own tag types under the general nsfw type.

    I think copying Mastodon would be the best for this. You can mark the post as sensitive (nsfw), which blurs the images. You can also add a content warning that can be used for anything (nsfw, nsfl, spoilers, etc).

    And then use tags separately for categorizing posts.

    Just do what I do and fill your blocklist with over 500 (and growimg) porn communities...

    Some of the apps allow blocking of instances, I use Sync For Lemmy and I blocked pornlemmy and lemmynsfw and I don't see porn anymore for the most part, there are still some stray nsfw communities on other instances but I rarely see any of their content

    It would be easier to allow you to fully block the 2 instances it comes from.

    What about the content on lemmy.world? A few communities were set up on this instance as well.

    By comparison, There's far fewer porn communities outside those main instances.

    If we could block an entire instance, my block list would drop from over 500 communities to those two instances + like 10 other individual communities.

    Plus maybe I could go more than 20min without adding to it...

    Yeah, I originally left it unchecked because I'm fine with non-porn NSFW stuff, but the porn was so overwhelming I just had to block it all.

    can we just block instances at the user account level?

    Many of the Android apps let you filter instances, as well as individual communities or users. Most instances don't host porn because of the legal headache, so blocking the only two that specialize in it should (mostly) do the trick: lemmynsfw and pornlemmy. On Sync for Lemmy, tap the overflow button on an offending post > filter > filter instance

    I get that, but I don't feel good about that solution. You're sort of beholden to that specific client.

    Given new lemmy is as a platform, I don't want to feel locked in yet (though I understand instance block lists might be cross compatible between all client apps supporting the feature).

    Another counter argument is that an instance block list should be relatively short. Keeping this list in a separate location and manually re-applying will probably not take up a lot of time.

    Nsfl = inury / death

    Nsfw = curse words, a boob, etc

    Porn tag for porn and art with nude chicks

    Or a NUDE tag to cover all of the uncovered.

    Can we have the exact opposite?

    I don't think ActivityPub supports that. There's just the "sensitive" flag (which Mastodon shows as a content warning and lemmy shows as NSFW). I think you'd have to do something outside of the specification.
