There is a big difference between mild NSFW and full on porno. Suppose there is a News story with photo/video but it’s a little bit graphic or violent. Nobody is jacking off to that. Maybe shouldn’t view it at work, but in the library is fine.

Maybe it’s a funny meme pic but there’s a nip slip situation going on. No biggy; it should probably be tagged NSFW. Probably don’t want it showing up at actual work. But I want to enable this kind of content away from work without a bunch of actual porn showing up in my feed.

There should be a porn tag. It’s not the same as NSFW.

EDIT: The two main devs have done some amazing work here, but as I understand it they are totally booked for the foreseeable future. My rust chops aren’t quite up to snuff (yet) and my frontend chops are non-existent, so it might be a quite while before I’m up to speed enough to make a meaningful contribution. In the meantime just thought I’d point out the issue.

    From what I see, that specific post was only because it sounded like lemmynsfw would allow loli. For me the biggest issue is that the porn would occasionally flood my front page because of that one bug (that got fixed), I really don’t want to see porn when I’m just browsing (but I have nothing against it existing on Lemmy).

    For me what makes something porn would be the intent: is it made/shared for sexual arousal. Something can be porn without any nudity, and you can have any amount of nudity without it being porn.

      Exactly. It is the intent behind the content. Full nudity does not equal porn. Covered sexual organs does not mean it is not porn.
