NSFW on Lemmy (lemmy.world)

Tldr lower. So there’s (yet again) another flurry of communities that are all crossposting each other’s content with this hentai stuff.

Aside from a lot of this being made with AI, it is in essence soft porn and I don’t want it in /all.

I usually write a comment under such posts saying

Set your comm to NSFW pls

Rarely the mod write “Done” and that’s it. Often it is downvoted, and now it’s also just removed by mod for (I wouldn’t know the reason as it’s on a different instance to mine)

https://lemmy.world/post/33972247

TLDR; I don’t want my all feed to be a soft porn feed, is there anyway of not having these hentai soft porn communities in all, apart from individually blocking them (which doesn’t really work, as they keep making more communities).

I don't know any place which have the proposed "soft nsfw" filter separate from "nsfw".

Comparison with reddit is weird as reddit r/all is full of ""artistic"" pictures or paintings of naked women.

Also the fediverse is not really like reddit. The more the platform grows the more useless All becomes. Try to go to mastodon and browse by "all" it's unusable. Either pick an instance with a good "local" you like or all is not really that important. I don't think it's a "first impressions", first impression is "local". All is never going to be a curated feed, not a consistent one. It's a federated platform, which means a LOT of diversity and variety on communities and posts.

Also I don't see or even want to start consider anything that shows a little skin "nsfw". I think that's a very personal taste that should not be universally applied.

I really don't buy the argument here.

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.

People are against it because several reasons.

First because it's a very specific taste/opinion that they don't share. You are saying that "all would be more appealing without softcore porn", but it seems that you are the only one who thinks that here, most people don't care or even like it. We could also put a filter to blurry dog pictures for people scare of dogs, where does it end? Until which point personal tastes should have their own explicit filters? It ends in a "word filter" which is already usable.

Also I would say that most people is against this because it reads as a first step towards a "porn ban". We have no puritan advertisements or pay processor to please. People here like the freedom. And that would be a step in the opposite direction. It reads a little like so many discourses we are seeing in so many places to make them "family friendly" and to "protect the children". I would suppose that due the nature of the fediverse (which is a push back against those people controlling our internet) is against anything that looks like that.

Often it is downvoted

Also, can we please agree that is really poor netiquette to downvote posts in communities you are not subscribing to? If you are not subscribed to a community, you should have no saying whether the content is relevant to the community or not.

Instead of downvoting, hide posts you don't want the content on your feed or report it if is actually improper content. Downvoting things just because you saw it on /all is counter-productive and hostile af.

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.
