I’m a bit baffled at how many people are misunderstanding my post.

This is not instance related. This is just an additional NSFW type of filter. Please reread the OP or my other comments.

Thanks for duding me

You have not read or don’t understand the OP. This is about communities like my example in the OP, which many would not consider NSFW, but is on the touchy side of a bunch of other people. The communities don’t want the NSFW tag, but the users who want the ability to filter out the soft NSFW stuff.

Mate no. the UK ban did not originate from a federated open source community implementing filter systems.

Stop spreading absolute panic bullshit like this.

I would say, show me historic proof, but I doubt you’re that type of person.

Ok, I hear you. But as I said, it’s just adding filter options to those snowflakes like me, while not changing a single pixel for those like yourself.

Allowing superior UX for more people is how you make the internet better.

Nobody is advocating for a ban, nor can or will this be used as a first step towards one.

Argument 1: nobody else has it so why should we? Because we are new, the next step - we improve what needs to be done better.

Argument 2: reddit is full of porn… see above. We can make it better, at very little cost to anyone.

Argument 3 is undermining your first 2, but I agree. This would cause a few instances to become very popular and render the concept of federation unnecessary.

I don’t understand how a bunch of people here are basically say /all is a sewer, accept it.

I’m say it is not and doesn’t have to be. It is a place for discovery, and there is a way to make that more pleasant. Another commenter said an AI filter would also be good.

All I am suggesting is In addition to having the Fediverse allowing posts and communities to be marked NSFW, to allow for more filters. One filter like what I am suggesting could be a snowflake or FamFriendly filter which removes suggestive, soft porn or racy or soft gore stuff. Another could be AI which removes synthetically generated content.

How anyone can be against that is beyond me. I’m not asking for these things to be turned on by default, or to shove it down people’s throats. By default /all would still be the same

I understand NSFW and FamilyFriendly are blurry concepts. It is still up to the post OPs, community creators, moderators and instance administrators to use these properly.

?

How does this… Did you…

I’ve responded to the top comment to address the flaws in that argument.

I thought this community is for discussions about the Fediverse and not limited to any particular instance.

Why am I not surprised that the most sensible response comes from one of the more awesome mods on this platform

o7 sir, thanks for acknowledging my point and chiming in.

You’ll find that admin == mod == post OP in a lot of these cases

No that’s not my taste in content. That’s me trying to get this reddit alternative to gain traction. And it’s not going to do that by being an echo chamber. If you have kids, you want parental controls so they don’t have to see certain content. If you’re at work, you want be able to prevent suggestive drawings to hit your screen, or on public transport.

Your response act as if I’m asking for a ban. I’m asking for an ability for the user to control it. Leave it off by default for all I care (which is what the current NSFW setting does).

/all may not be the first impressing, but it is where the majority of new user will go due to their instance not necessarily having that much content.

This is a recurring response, so forgive me for hijacking your comment to write this again.

/all is where we make our first impression to the world. For a lot of people /all is where (on a still growing platform) people go to discover. I don’t think having an additional “soft NSFW” filter would be a bad thing.

There’s a reason most clients have an NSFW filter in their settings.

I’m not trying to conform the world to my taste. Porn like stuff makes the platform less appealing in general.

I meant my request to mark the community as NSFW is being downvoted, which I understand.

I downvote the post only if the mod just removes my request, which I think is mod abuse.

I presume you don’t have alts then!

Thanks that’s awesome.

I’ll block them individually, but I would love for there to be a tagging or classification system. Perhaps even a ‘Snowflake NSFW’ setting that allows people to filter out anything suggestive. I understand those hentai communities don’t want to be penalised by having an outRight NSFW tag on them either.
