Is there a universal definition of NSFW? I can imagine instances that would call beach scenes NSFW where less conservative groups would have no problem with them. It changes the calculus, IMO.
What’s your take on the question?
Porn.
I remember particularly gory news feeds also being NSFW, so it’s not only porn and erotica that can fall under that tag.
Are the NSFW tags given by the author of the post? Then the benchmark is going to be different depending on the poster: from naked boobs being tagged to more explicit content not being considered NSFW.
I am personally happy with not seeing NSFW content, I come here for books, memes and political discussion, I would hide NSFW posts asap anyway.
I didn't see your second response I am a silly goose. I think it's very much worth waiting, I have no issue with 18+ content but I don't want it to spam the hell out of /all. Like if there was a way to silence it from /all and make it follower only I would be fine with it
I agree with that position. Hopefully, those tools are on the roadmap. Maybe until they arrive, holding federation would be a good move. Anyone who feels strongly about it can create an account on the instance they want to subscribe to.
Porn is NSFW, I agree. But most erotica is also NSFW. Even some simple photos of shirtless guys or women in bikinis are NSFW, depending on context. It becomes difficult to draw the line. Then consider that we don't have a universally agreed definition of "porn," and we're deep into the weeds.
Basically pornography, like sexual depictions of boobs and butts and genitalia is where I'm gauging from
A good standard :)
