    I’m bummed because not all NSFW is porn. If I didn’t have to see a thinly blurred image of a spread eagle lady surrounded by several… members… and yeah, let’s just say the blurring doesn’t do anything. Also, I don’t want to run into CP or bestiality but I’d like to be able to see posts with foul language or anything related to the news…

      Yeah same here. I’ve just been manually blocking porn communities because I don’t want to toggle the NSFW option on.

      I made a few posts I’d consider NSFW, but aren’t porn related. I tagged them as such and now I’m thinking that even if I wanted to expand my audience, the people that blocked porn wouldn’t get to see them anyway.

      For the interested, I tried creating a community where people could share interesting medical photos with educational content. So far it’s basically just me in it and I want to be able to have the time to post more to see if it catches on, but I dunno that it would anyway.

      Edit: There was even a NSFW meme I saw recently that I found funny. I wouldn’t want it blocked from me. It’s not porn, just a funny photo that happens to have a cartoon dick in it. Good to know not to look at it when at work, but also something I don’t mind having on my page.

      What I don’t want to see on my page is endless furry porn, giant cocks and tits everywhere, etc. when I’m just looking for memes and chat.

      Being able to self block entire instances will be super helpful when they eventually add the feature. I have nothing against porn, I just don’t want it to be in my feed.
