I’m talking about this sort of thing. Like clearly I wouldn’t want someone to see that on my phone in the office or when I’m sat on a bus.

However there seems be a lot of these that aren’t filtered out by nsfw settings, when a similar picture of a woman would be, so it seems this is a deliberate feature I might not be understanding.

Discuss.

    I like the idea, but getting everyone to add the tags would be a nightmare unless the culture majorly shifts in favor of adding them

      I think some communities might suggest tags, but you wouldn’t be able to catch still of them. We don’t have the resources for object recognition, but that is all I can think of for a fourth option.

        Maybe a forced pop-up whenever you submit content. I know people are gonna hate it, but putting the option right in front of their face makes them far more aware of it.

        If you wanted to make it optional, you could allow users to filter untagged posts. I think that with a combo of the popup could work to make it a thing people actually used.

        Basically what were discussing is a less crap version of reddit tags, hashtags, forum tags, etc. The big problem with those, especially on reddit, is getting people to use them and use them properly. Every sub handled them differently (hell, on the 2 subs I modded, both used them differently and I ran both of them). Some subs let users apply, some were mods only, some were bots, etc. The other problem is getting people to use them properly. Hashtags aren’t a bad system, but easily abused (look at Tumblr tags. They’re essentially useless half the time).

        Maybe community assigned tags could work. Have the poster tag from the start, then allow users to report if it should have a different level. It seems like a good idea, but I’d want to have something like a trust score behind it to filter errant reports and trolls, which I don’t think is currently something lemmy supports, but idk.

        Anyways, just throwing out ideas

          Not bad ideas, but the forced pop-up asserts that there must be something sensitive about a user’s post. I think maybe providing a few categories of sensitivity with their own drop-down boxes to select from.

          These are terrible options, but for sexual they could be: Suggestive - from making sexual motions or comments to our model above Nudity - non-pornographic, but nipples or genitals are seen Porn

          Violence seems to be a major category. Now sure about how to break it down

          Gore Minor Injury Medical procedure Violent - these are bad options, I said

          Politics is something people complain about, but I don’t know if that should be considered sensitivity or if we should attempt to break it down.

          Abuse This one is hard because by only selecting over category you rule others out. Is my abuse less than yours?
