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.

I think being able to block entire instances as users will solve this issue.

Sorry, but I don't see how blocking an instance solves the inability of people to tag sensitive but non-NSFW content and the inability to explain why the content could be considered NSFW. Could you explain your thought a bit more?

I think he's talking about blocking just porn in general. In that case you could get rid of 95% of it by just blocking lemmynsfw.com.
