    Turn off porn on the “all” thread without having to block other NSFW content. It’s getting pretty bad blocking three or four porn communities every time I try to browse, but not being able to block the instances they’re all coming from.

      I always thought that NSFW was too vague a term. One person’s NSFW is different to another’s.

      What would work better is specific content tags. That would work well for trigger warnings too.

      It would cover porn: nudity, softcore, hardcore

      But also content themes: Alcoholism, drug taking, violence, suicide, war, guns

      It could even be used for spoilers.

      Users could then select the specific themes they didn’t want to see. For better UX you could have a slider that had pre selected levels. “strict”, “relaxed”, “everything”.

      Posts often present content warnings behind spoiler tags at the start. The idea being that some users don’t want the story spoiled by hearing what themes it contains. That’s why I believe this system would work. Rather than having the content warnings visible it all happens in the background through structured data. Your app already knows if it’s content you don’t want to see so it either hides it, or perhaps blurs it with a warning that you likely don’t want to read it.
