Agreed, its also one of the reasons why instances defederate to separate all the NSFW. Instances should either be fully NSFW or SFW - that way a user can easily navigate and use blocks.
We don’t mind them being mixed together, sometimes something sfw can be classified nsfw even if the op doesn’t mean to.
So the tagging system would work better and a mod can just slap on an nsfw tag and just be like “hey heads up this was nsfw, it’s image/content was just spoiler-filtered for ya” kinda thing rather than trying to whack a mole delete a bunch of stuff.
But we can see the separation of tagging and exclusion can have pros and cons in either side. Even though we don’t like nsfw it’s still nice to have the option of it being there ig. It’s overall personal preference
Late to the party, but I think what counts as NSFW is also blurry and subjective. Like I have all NSFW blocked on my account, but the other day when I checked out the “All” feed, it had some pics that I would consider soft porn. Fully clothed subjects, but very much emphasising specific body parts in a sexualised way (I think the two communities I saw were midriff and thighs). I found them uncomfortable, but most people probably wouldn’t call them outright NSFW.
