Now that we're finally out of reddit, can we finally get different tag for NSFW and NSFL?

For the uninitiated, generally NSFW is for sexual contents and NSFL is for gory contents. People may want to see one but not see the other at any time for any reason. I have seen this feature requested over the years in Reddit but it never happens. Maybe now some instance can finally implement it?

Wouldn't it be better to have more specific tags like movies? e.g. "Sexual content", "Gore", "Death", "Violence" or for content that you truly want to avoid; "US Politics".

  An advanced search would be so fing good for Lemmy. I realize that the problem is mainly how most modern search engines can't do wildcard top level domain searches so you can't really look up posts from lemmy[.]world or etc., but then Lemmy also has wildly variable domain names too which makes searching all the more difficult. A solution for this is so critical for discoverability and usefulness

- Don't forget "Musk" and "Trump"

  is it possible to hide those here?
  
  3
- Perhaps categories first then the specifics? (e.g. NSFL: Gore)
  
  26
  
  Why would you need a category in addition to a tag?

  I like this one

  Personally I’ve never liked the idea of NSFL. It just doesn’t feel like it has the eighth connotation, it’s wording feels like it’s meant to be a joke when it’s content is rarely funny. I think just using “Gore” or “Death” would be absolutely better.

- Another great one would be for phobias, being able to filter out images of a snake for example if you hate them. Sometimes the title filtering can do that but that doesn’t work when someone titles their picture “look at this cute little guy”

  That's a good idea. The client could let the user select their phobia from this list of all phobias from Wikipedia with a description and then filter for the tags matching the description.

It would be wonderful with something more granular than "NSFW"...

I would love if we got something even more granular like a "Content Warning: ".

Examples:

Content Warning: nudity - might be a painting with nude people, might be a photo of nude people, in essence if it isn't porn, but there's exposed genitals, butts or breasts.

Content Warning: porn - you can probably guess...

Content Warning: gore - images with gore, people missing body parts, often dead as well.

Content Warning: death - images with people dying, but without gore.

Content Warning: blood - images with some blood, but no death or gore. (often seen in news articles)

Content Warning: violence - people fighting, but without turning bloody.

These could of course be expanded with many more categories if need be.

EDIT: added violence by request
134
- At that point we get a tag system. Content Warning: politics, Content Warning: bad news, Content Warning: dangerous cuteness...
  
  40
  
  Just use a color to denote content warnings

  i like this one better.
  
  3
- Please add violence to the categories. Some videos ruin days
  
  6
  
  Sometimes it's not even ruin days, there's stuff that I don't appreciate popping up when I'm eating for example

  That's NSFL
  
  3
- The first two and the last three are the same lol.
  
  There really isn't any need for tuning them even further. They're both already niche enough as is. The people who are good with the two are good with both. The people good with the last three are 'good' with any. You genuinely cannot get any of them without the other lol.

  Yeah, it'd be better to implement OP's idea, see how it goes, and then see if there's need for the others. Gradual changes help admins see what works best, I think. Follow the KISS: Keep It Simple, Supid.

  The first two and the last three are the same
  
  I read that as "all five are the same". And I'm like damn, don't want to work in a slaughterhouse if that's true for you!

  Idk man, I think there's a difference between a titty in a painting and triple anal piss porn

  Intensity warning is a good thing. Though it does make tagging complicated, but in this case overlapping tags would do. blood-death and gore-death and simply death.
  
  probably shouldn't borrow the exact terms from fandom, but they have tag modifiers like 'dead dove: do not eat' which basically means this is an absolute celebration of the previous tag, so gore tag coupled with that tag is gore intensified to the max, while they also use tags 'slight mentions of gore' for only a bit of gore. but if you filter out gore both would still be filtered out.
  
  AO3 runs on open source software and has a very robust tagging system.

I've always thought, of all the options to warn us that clicking will put titties on our screen, that "not safe for work" was a bad choice.

Like, what if your work doesn't care about titties? What about the tons of other times you wouldn't want those to pop into your screen without warning, like when you're on public transit, or sitting next to grandma?

I'd vote for "LEWD" vs "GORE" or something more clear - users can decide for themselves when it is or isn't safe.

- Correct, if you work for e.g. Pornhub, NSFW might have a different meaning
  
  18
  
  I can just imagine the HR conversations at Pornhub. "Steve, we have reason to believe that you've been viewing non-pornographic material at work."
  
  46
  
  Same if you work for the SEC.

- My job doesnt care.
  
  Of course i cant just browse porn all day, but clicking a random picture onnreddit with boobs?
  
  Nobody cares

  We should be able to look at a little porn at work.

Mate we can't even hide posts

68
- (Sync for Lemmy has client side support for that)
  
  27
  
  As do Connect. Still, it should be a desktop feature, too.
  
  12
  
  Yeah connect has that too. I'd imagine other clients do as well.

Having gone through the code a bit, the NSFW handling looks very baked in, so it's not a small ask. The smart approach would be to add an arbitrary tag system and handle it that way.

57
- Is that the smart approach, or the easier approach?
  
  I just got done reading a whole diatribe on how everything sucks because the code for everything is just duck tape on top of duck tape.
  
  https://tonsky.me/blog/disenchantment/

  I love it when my tape quacks.
  
  FYI it's duct tape. Duck Tape is a brand that sells a type of duct tape, among other tapes.
  
  14
  
  I think it's both. Instead of trying to update the codebase with one new database attributes for each conceivable way to tag content, you simply put in facilities to abstract that - "show only posts with tag foobar", "hide all posts with tag foobar".

I don't care about Reddit (or about growing Lemmy) as much as the average post I see in Lemmy, but if you wanted to migrate people from the former to the latter this is one of the easier ways to help do it. It's one of those small quality of life things that are asked for periodically. If Lemmy had it it'd be mentioned in Reddit every time people are pissed with the site (which is every day for most sites, including Reddit). It'd be free ~~mouth to mouth~~ word of mouth (being ESL is funny sometimes) publicity for Lemmy

Not Suitable For Lemmy

39
- That's cute

  Not as cute as you 😜

This is a good idea, anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't stumbled upon a guy getting his head chopped off when they didn't want to see it.

36
Yes please and just call it what it is! "Brutal" and "sexual" feg. Because I for one work in a sex fight fetish porn production studio so to me all of this is very sfw.

36
- Do you make those naked MMA matches that end in sex I've seen?
  
  7
- I bet you have some hella interesting workplace stories and hella banal, mundane ones

Is this a protocol or a client issue? Would absolutely love to see it.

I think a tag system as suggested by others makes the most sense, as NSFW and NSFL aren't mutually exclusive.

8
I think it would be better to add the option to mark posts as "sensitive" or "not save for work", which are then blurred for the user and appear when clicked on.

The rest should be up to moderation and everything else is just solutionism.

3
Don't we have enough sick shit going on with the child porn thing that happened? You want to add a tag for Not Safe For Life content? I feel like I'm in bizarro world.

I would vote for never ever having that content on Lemmy.

-1
Also NSFV for not suitable for vegans for anything involving animals, meat, or animal processing. That way we can tag those posts and if they complain about them we know they're just raging because they're insufferable assholes.

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that all vegans are insufferable assholes. I know a bunch of vegans who are awesome people. I'm just suggesting that the ones who rage at people who don't share their beliefs and who try to shove their beliefs down other people's throats are insufferable assholes.

EDIT 2: Oh no, I've upset the insufferable assholes! Oh wait, this is Lemmy and their downvotes don't mean anything!

What is NSFL?

I've never seen or heard of it before.

NSFW is not a Reddit thing. It was around and already popular years before Reddit came along.

I agree that NSFW should be more granular but let's keep the acronym because everyone already knows what it means and I see no reason to move away from it.

-5
- NSFL isn't as common as NSFW but it's still an established acronym.
  
  9
  
  Apparently NSFL is barely used in comparison to NSFW based on Google Trends; no wonder I've never heard of it before.
  
  https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=Nsfl,Nsfw&hl=en
  
  1
- Not Safe For Life. Usually it is something horrific that many people never want to see... Unlike boobies.

Why do we need a different tag when NSFW and NSFL already exist?

-8
- NSFL doesn't exist as a tag. Your only choice is to tag it NSFW.
  
  26
No

-14
- Omg this. Nsfw was ALWAYS not for WORK, nsfl errything else. Dont have to go too into specifics, thats up to subreddits to moderate. Dont sub to those stuff and don't browse All, or filter shit.
  
  Fuck i, called it subreddits jfc
  
  -11
Why

-54
- Don’t be a contrarian for a second and think of the why yourself, it’s easy and good for your brain!
  
  60
  
  So leave it be.
  
  -30
- Because people have the right to know what type of content they can masturbate to.
  
  28
  
  I thought that was already clear?
  
  NSFL = Gore
  NSFW = Porn

Why can’t people just ~~not~~ look at the name of the community and then easily conclude if it’s sexual content or gory content?

Edit: Seems my English skills fucked me over.

-62
- Real answer? Because technology could easily do it for you if people tag posts in OP’s proposed way. Just one less thing for a viewer to have to think about.
  
  52
  
  It would also allow for different filters. Blur NSFW, but not nsfl, or vice versa. Or even only show post of one and hide others entirely, without having to block communities by hand.

- Sometimes NSFW images are appropriate in otherwise SFW communities. For instance, imagine a community on exterior design that had a post with a picture of that building in Germany with the five-story-high penis on it. Or a community for desktop themes that has a post with nudes wallpaper. Or a community about a certain celebrity that posts pictures of her car wreck.
  
  17
  
  What building in Germany has a 5-story-tall schlong?
  
  6
  
  Then you would look at the community name and concluding that the image is about exterior design, but not something you should look at, at work.
  
  I didn’t type my original post correctly.

- I follow the Ukrainian war. Blocking all NSFW blocks so much of the news.
  
  I want to block porn, not news.
  
  13
  
  So the Ukrainian war posts should be tagged as NSFL then?
  
  1
- Going back to reddit r/WTF often had posts with either gore or nudity (or both), as an example.
  
  10
  
  That’s a good example.
  
  I think most instances doesn’t allow gore though.
  
  2
- Do we really need community names? I feel like we could just use the first line of the description
