The one time i remember was when there was a cinterella parody on the gay community where instead of shoes it was a dildo (i can’t link the post because i didn’t have an account then but if someone can feel free to for whatever reason ) , and some 196 posts etc. do this too but the posts are beside the point the point is like i get it lighthearted fun. but i guess it could be better for lemmy overall if they do mark things like that. Anyway what are your thoughts ?
And that’s why it’s an issue in the first place because one tool is used for two different purposes. If NSFW tag was used only for it’s intended purpose then using it would be straightforward.
Of course content filtering would be useful feature too but I think it should be a separate thing. In the app I use there’s an option to blur the NSFW pictures. That would be useless option if you don’t want to see the picture at all.
Regardless of the original purpose, or how the issue came to be, both roles are used and desirable nowadays. The hiding feature could be assigned to a second tag, but at this rate the situation becomes more complex than a simple scale.
And a smart interface could handle both options together. Perhaps something like this:
At least from a browser this would work nicely. Not sure on phone applications.
