For the uninitiated, generally NSFW is for sexual contents and NSFL is for gory contents. People may want to see one but not see the other at any time for any reason. I have seen this feature requested over the years in Reddit but it never happens. Maybe now some instance can finally implement it?

Wouldn't it be better to have more specific tags like movies? e.g. "Sexual content", "Gore", "Death", "Violence" or for content that you truly want to avoid; "US Politics".

Don't forget "Musk" and "Trump"

is it possible to hide those here?

Perhaps categories first then the specifics? (e.g. NSFL: Gore)

[–] qaz 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why would you need a category in addition to a tag?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just a thought. Some might need finer details vs block whatever its marked NSFW.

Wouldn't a specific tag provide enough detail?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Personally I’ve never liked the idea of NSFL. It just doesn’t feel like it has the eighth connotation, it’s wording feels like it’s meant to be a joke when it’s content is rarely funny. I think just using “Gore” or “Death” would be absolutely better.

I like this one

Another great one would be for phobias, being able to filter out images of a snake for example if you hate them. Sometimes the title filtering can do that but that doesn’t work when someone titles their picture “look at this cute little guy”

That's a good idea. The client could let the user select their phobia from this list of all phobias from Wikipedia with a description and then filter for the tags matching the description.
