We need to be able to differentiate between NSFW and porn. (kbin.social)

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.

Thinking on it more, the only hiccup I can see is stuff like possible medical communities. They would be rarer than your basic morbid curiosity subs, but they do have both important discussion and definitely -nsfw photos. Not everything posted there would be gore, but every image likely would be, so it evades the proposed tag filter somewhat by being both on a regular basis.

Everything posted there can't be automatically nsfw gore, but it can't not be. It would have to be a hard and fast rule to manually tag them and if the mod doesn't care, all bets are off on a lot of users becoming familiar with a lot of oozing meat.
