We need to be able to differentiate between NSFW and porn. (kbin.social)

A boob, a butt, or even some violence like one might see on the news anyway, I’m not freaked out about all that and I don’t feel the need to hide it from those around me usually… that’s all fine fine, but I don’t want porn on my feed like at all.

Editing for clarity here:

Those are all things that might get flagged NSFW that I don’t mind seeing in general. I’m not uptight about it, it’s just a little different to be inundated with hardcore pornography like… while on the train.

I joined a primarily social insurance, kbin.social. I am very open to what is in my feed, sometimes to the extremer ends of that. I just believe that porn is a separate thing entirely and should be separated in some way. I’m not opposed to porn, but there’s a reason it had its own room in the video store. And if you’re wanting to look at porn, there’s a good chance you’re ONLY looking for porn at that moment.

The point of the nsfw tag is to keep you from getting fired. It turns off everything that could get you fired. Further tuning of your experience is the whole point of subscribing to distinct communities. When you go to all, you’re literally asking to see it all.

I’m not opposed to granular tagging, I just disagree that we need separate tags for boobs and porn. How much do clinical boob pictures intersect with hardcore porn when you’re browsing all? And what about porn communities all about boobs?

It was almost never implemented in any useful manner, but flair filled this role on Reddit. Nsfw is the catch all that saves your job, flair tells you what it is.

I never asked for a boobs tag. I was stating that I’m not personally offended if a stray nipple appears in my feed. But overall, porn, including most nudity, should be able to be filtered from the feed while still receiving content from subs I haven’t subscribed to.
