what are your thoughts on browsing the “All” feed ? especially your thoughts on what should be marked nsfw and what should not

I have a lot of thoughts about this, but I am curious about how other users feel :)

    I think “nsfw” in itself is a good description - “not safe for work”. I would be embarrassed or reprimanded at work if I scrolled past pictures of gore, extreme violence, nudity, or sexually suggestive anime girls, so those should be marked nsfw.

      There are two problems with that: First, what is acceptable or not is a cultural thing and varies from country to country. There are actually countries where anything depicting humans or mentioning women is NSFW. In other countries they wonder “why has this been marked NSFW? They don’t even f_ck!”.

      Second, even with atking this into account, and if we concentrate on an American and European context which has mostly comparable ideas of morality, people still mark things as NSFW where I ask “Why?”, and other posts are not marked NSFW where I also ask “Why?” - if you understand what I mean.

      So any usage of an NSFW tag has a certain ambuguity to it, and can only seen as a hint, as a personal thing to use or not use as the poster evaluates it.

        Well, they could expand tags beyond simply NSFW. A clear example would be “nudity” vs something like “violence”, but could be more specific like “nudity” vs “sexual” or “pornographic”

        I’d imagine that images of nude people in sexually suggestive positions are not safe for work in most jobs in most countries…
