Fediverse

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.

I am amazed at how helpless some people....

You don't want to see it, click block!

JFC have some fucking agency... I know kt is annoyo g bit the fix is easy and right there.

Why am I not surprised that the most sensible response comes from one of the more awesome mods on this platform

o7 sir, thanks for acknowledging my point and chiming in.

Exactly what I've done. Set my settings to hide NSFW, blocked most of the "soft" communities like hot girls and moe anime girls and whatever else (blocking the lemmynsfw.com instance is a great place to start), and I use All frequently. That's how I've found all the communities I've subscribed to, but frankly, my /all feed is small enough that I usually see all my subscribed communities anyway.

I’ve responded to the top comment to address the flaws in that argument.

I don't disagree, and it'd be really nice if people were better about tagging things like scantily clad yuri as NSFW. Even if there's no naughty bits, I'd just really appreciate being able to browse for new linux communities in public while having questionable stuff come up as blurred thumbnails. I don't want it gone, I just want tagging guidelines to be followed.

This is a recurring response, so forgive me for hijacking your comment to write this again.

/all is where we make our first impression to the world. For a lot of people /all is where (on a still growing platform) people go to discover. I don’t think having an additional “soft NSFW” filter would be a bad thing.

There’s a reason most clients have an NSFW filter in their settings.

"All means all.

Not always. For instance if you have NSFW filtered, in which case "all" means "most".

I thought this community is for discussions about the Fediverse and not limited to any particular instance.

I presume you don’t have alts then!

No! Those who posts unmarked NSFW are the ones that should stop being a selfish prick and mark it as NSFW

You're somewhat correct of course but the NSFW tag exists for a reason. If there is one entire category of /all you can just filter out due to lack of interest, it should be stuff like that. Maybe at some point we'll also get an 'AI' tag.

The pro of being able to 'safely', for lack of a better term, browse /all is being able to discover stuff that you are not subscribed to, stuff you might not find otherwise.
