Preffix: someone needs to fix comments disapearing when clicking on literally anything at all.
Commenting directly since ludrol tagged me.
CW and NSFW are too broad to be the only 2 types of tags.
There will be 3: NSFW, CW and Generic. Excuse the passive aggressiveness but this tells me you didn’t read the RFC at all
The suggestion to use tag urls as ids don’t work with the idea of using ids to share tags across instances. I don’t want the entire threadiverse to decide lemmy.world/t/nsfw is the global nsfw tag and smaller instances being forced to use that or risk people facing unsolicited nsfw from their instance.
Your example makes no sense as people not wanting to see will block the entire NSFW tag type in the settings, not the instance tag. The id’s are for granular filtering, not for blanket blocking
There is no mention of filtering posts based on their tag category, which would make it impossible to block nsfw posts across instances without using the shared id.
Is there now? Gee I sure wonder what I wrote in that Outlook section…
There needs to be platform level tag categories (especially for things people might not want to see) so content filtering works in a consistent and decentralised manner. Then individual instances or communities can create their their own tags based on those categories to fit their needs.
Preset tags can and will definitely be included, not least of all because functionality of the current borked NSFW system will need to be preserved once it is replaced with the tag system. What you are describing here is pretty much what I wrote in the RFC, again: Did you actually read that thing?
The author seems to want to replace the spoiler mark with a (cw) tag called spoiler, but things can be both spoilers and fall under other tags (ie an image post, a leak, a discussion etc). Also this would pointlessly filter out regular spoiler content if a user blocks tags with the cw category.
See my point regarding NSFW filtering, if a user does not want to see some Spoilers they would filter out those Spoilers or Whitelist the ones they want to see (more likely option but both are possible). Problems like this are partly why the Filter System debate is still ongoing. Changing the tags to be limited to certain groups does not really fix this problem, it simply moves the workload from the moderators to the devs.
Users would be able to choose whether to show, blur or block content with these warnings in the settings.
Is the plan with my RFC as well, again your idea moves the burden of moderation to the devs which is a horrible idea, there already isn’t enough brainpower behind this project.
A user creating a post would see a menu to pick the content warnings (multiple if they want) that describe their post. Tags describe content to people who want to find such content. There could be generic platform wide ones like news, qna etc, but the majority would be community specific. Tags could also include default content warnings (eg ‘leak’ tag could activate the spoiler content warning).
You are almost literally describing my RFC, i ask again did you actually read it?!
but even what we have now feels better than what is proposed in that link
