A boob, a butt, or even some violence like one might see on the news anyway, I’m not freaked out about all that and I don’t feel the need to hide it from those around me usually… that’s all fine fine, but I don’t want porn on my feed like at all.

Editing for clarity here:

Those are all things that might get flagged NSFW that I don’t mind seeing in general. I’m not uptight about it, it’s just a little different to be inundated with hardcore pornography like… while on the train.

I joined a primarily social insurance, kbin.social. I am very open to what is in my feed, sometimes to the extremer ends of that. I just believe that porn is a separate thing entirely and should be separated in some way. I’m not opposed to porn, but there’s a reason it had its own room in the video store. And if you’re wanting to look at porn, there’s a good chance you’re ONLY looking for porn at that moment.

      Because there are so many instances and so many communities across those instances that I can’t possibly subscribe to everything I want to see, it’s nice to view “all” while figuring out the groups I want to see. I’d miss a lot if I limited it to “subscribed.”

        right but you want to see everything but also only some nsfw things, so any nsfw posters need to do extra work to add extra flags to their posts. What if I dont want to see political content? or Im on a diet and I dont want to see tempting food posts? How atomized and numerous do you want the flagging system to be?

          Nobody looks over your shoulder and sees Chuck Grassley and thinks you’re about to jack off

              Uh… I don’t know, read the rest of the thread where a lot of people have detailed exactly why it’s too vague and just simply separating “porn” from the rest of it would be helpful.

      I don’t, and I have the settings set so I don’t get nsfw-tagged materials. But I still saw a pornographic image I didn’t want to see because not every instance/magazine we’re federated with has nsfw tagging rules. I actually haven’t gone back to mastodon since that visual assault, lol, because I don’t want to see more and they clearly don’t have it under control. I blocked the nsfw lemmy instance, but even before that I didn’t see anything explicit here. At least have the images hidden or blurred until you click the post.
