I feel like “NSFW” was born out of an attempt to appear to not censor. We can probably be more specific here since we have options to avoid censorship of instances. Tags of what kind of content a post contains could help, but they’d need to be standardized somehow.

There needs to be a levels system instead of a letters system.
NSF(W)1: you wouldn't look at it in front of your boss in a corporate setting. Anything slightly risque in nature.
NSF(W)2: Written graphic text
NSF(W)3: Maybe a nip slip, or an African tribeswoman in native dress
NSF(W)4: Some intermediary step here
NSF(W)5: Nudes, porn, etc.
NSF(L)1: Fight footage with mild-medium violence
NSF(L)2: Death
NSF(L)3: Graphic death. Gore. Beheadings. Etc.
They don't even need to be in order, but there should be a classification system. Once the classification system is implemented, we can set classifications to view/not view in our settings.
Dude I opened kbin in a fairly public setting and one of the random posts was a guy with a MASSIVE cock, like the girth of a soda can. I wish there was a way for NFSW oriented magazines/communities/instances to automatically flag posts made to them as NSFW
Another example is that /r/vexillology used NSFW to literally mean "Not Safe For Work" e.g. any flag that might get you in trouble should it show up on your PC at work. So for example, a tag for "fascist imagery" instead could be used.
In this case I like the idea of magazines being able to define their own warnings.
I'm totally down for Brandon Sanderson subs having "NSFV" tags (will not explain this as it's a spoiler for his books).
Updated just for the NSFV joke. Nice to see a Cosmete fan in the wild.
I'd settle for a setting to make all NSFW posts automatically minimized so you have to click on it to reveal it without going to the real page for it, if that makes sense
Your best bet right now is blocking the biggest NSFW instance, lemmynsfw.com
That's what I did, just went to https://kbin.social/d/lemmynsfw.com and hit the little 🚫 next to "subscribe." Hopefully there will be easier ways to block instances in the future
