I’m talking about this sort of thing. Like clearly I wouldn’t want someone to see that on my phone in the office or when I’m sat on a bus.

However there seems be a lot of these that aren’t filtered out by nsfw settings, when a similar picture of a woman would be, so it seems this is a deliberate feature I might not be understanding.

Discuss.

I feel like the Internet needs more tags:

  • Explicit (rude language, nudity, etc)
  • Porn (nsfw legacy tag)
  • Violence
  • Not safe for life

Something like that.

These aren't even enough.

The tag for this particular problem would be something like "mildly suggestive" because it's literally just skin that some people don't want to see.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

Yeah, I agree. I do sort of understand op's consternation. I don't browse Lemmy on my work PC, but sometimes on lunch or in public I pull it up on my phone on All communities and I'm suddenly conscious that everyone beside me can see the "sfw" furry and anime art that I scroll past.

However, that's kinda my fault. I don't want to ban those communities because I like that stuff. It's just a little odd that we call it sfw when, to be honest, I have a hard time picturing most work places where I live happy to see that on my desktop.

I wonder if Lemmy could easily do content warnings like on Mastodon. I don’t know if it’s part of the ActivityPub spec but it’s definitely a thing that’s been implemented elsewhere.

[–] Aedis 10 points 4 months ago

The answer to "is it part of the activityPub spec?" is more often than not a strong No.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I’ve seen sites that have something similar, including a “suggestive” tag for pics like OP’s.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Yeah, that would be great. Many instance admins already use CSAM classifier models on all incoming images. It'd be great if they could add additional models that could put meta tags on images automatically like "suggestive" and "gore" with the option for the poster to modify the tags just in case it was a false negative or positive. Like a lasagna getting gore, for example.
