There is a big difference between mild NSFW and full on porno. Suppose there is a News story with photo/video but it’s a little bit graphic or violent. Nobody is jacking off to that. Maybe shouldn’t view it at work, but in the library is fine.

Maybe it’s a funny meme pic but there’s a nip slip situation going on. No biggy; it should probably be tagged NSFW. Probably don’t want it showing up at actual work. But I want to enable this kind of content away from work without a bunch of actual porn showing up in my feed.

There should be a porn tag. It’s not the same as NSFW.

EDIT: The two main devs have done some amazing work here, but as I understand it they are totally booked for the foreseeable future. My rust chops aren’t quite up to snuff (yet) and my frontend chops are non-existent, so it might be a quite while before I’m up to speed enough to make a meaningful contribution. In the meantime just thought I’d point out the issue.

    Where is the line between NSFW and XXX?

    Nudity? Which nudity? Are nipples NSFW but vulva is XXX?

    Multiple people being nude at the same? A photo of a guy holding his penis to masturbate is NSFW, but a photo of a nudist beach is XXX?

    Sexual contact? A person is kneeling in front of a penis with their mouth open it’s NSFW? But as soon as they hold it, it’s XXX?
