Back in the day, on other forums than this one, there were tags to differentiate between porn (nsfw) and gore (nsfl). This was nice for people browsing new that had no problem seeing tits, but wanted to avoid degloved hands.

Throughout the years, the NSFL tag went out of use. What happened?

    Please make it configurable content warnings. I also want to filter fake news, things that aren’t porn but maybe not suited for minors either, and stuff that triggers people’s phobias or bad memories. And probably a few other categories.

    And user-configurable policies like the Message Rewrite Facility from Pleroma.

        Yeah, thank you. That sounds like it. Nobody seems to understand me. I just want one platform that simultaneously fits me and that i can show to my grandparends and/or give my mom and my 12 y o niece an account.

        I’ve been hosting a Peertube instance during Covid. And many idiots came there after being banned by YouTube. So many that my timeline was half tech related stuff and half re-posts of some ‘documentaries’ about adrenochrome or nanobots inside the masks and vaccines.

        I dislike that and it renders everyone insane, if you’re exposed to that stuff every single day. And the second thing is: I pay for the server. It’s my instance. And therefore I decide if I like to invite the Trump/Maga people to my online home. Or random covid deniers.

        But I also diskile blocking everything. Sometimes I’d like to see what’s going on with people like that. I like to watch NSFW stuff with my alt account. And i’m pro free speech. Even if it’s idiots.

        So that is why i would like to have something like content warnings and rules i can define myself. In addition to the crude ban everything.

      Everything you just listed is the heart and soul of the internet today. Maybe you should just unplug and go to a library.

        I’m going the other way… when they build a filter that hides everything I don’t already agree with or that supports my side of arguments, I’m mainlining it straight to my nervous system

      Mainchan has separate tags for nsfw, nsfl, and political . It’s nice, but I’m not sure how well a “political” tag would actually work on a place as popular as lemmy. Someone will always say that everything’s political.

        Which, to be fair to them - everything is, you know? Nothing is really absent of politics because nothing is really absent of us.

          Yeah, I do actually agree with the sentiment. That’s why I don’t think it could really work in practice.
