Meet Miguel, my Pokesona. 🥰
She's a combination of Sneasel and Sneasler, as they're both too adorable!

I made a post to the Mastodon Github repo suggesting improved filtering functionality, allowing for filtering of NSFW content, images, etc.

Please consider boosting this feature request here: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/discussions/19956

@Psykatte Huh, how do you even tell if something's NSFW? Things get marked sensitive for all SORTS of reasons that have nothing to do with sexuality.

@frostwolf NSFW was meant as a fine example of blatant porn and kink content, outside of that it's conformity to the instance rules highlighted here https://meow.social/about/more
This is reply is marked as CW for being a polemical subject.

@Psykatte huh! I guess I'm just confused as to what kind of stuff you mean to filter.

Like, if you're filtering all CWed stuff, you'll also be filtering, like... random things like food, too. Stuff that isn't objectionable to anyone really, it's just a "hey heads up this is about food".

And longposts, and things.

@frostwolf (Just realized this was in reply to my github toot.)
True, which is why I added a section about having sub-parameters, which would allow filtering of images tagged with CW apposed to all CW. Food would get caught up in that, but unfortunately I feel suggesting branching CW categories would be a burdon on the developers and users alike.

@Psykatte Yeah, one of the great things about CWs is how free-form they are.

Unfortunately I just don't really think you can do this in a way that makes any sense, precisely because of that free-form nature.

It feels like the whole concept assumes a "CW == NSFW" concept of what a CW even is, much like how Pleroma overlays all marked-sensitive images with a big "NSFW 18+" banner. Like noooo you can't make that assumption!

@frostwolf While I agree with you, in the long-term it will make filtering more powerful and encourage users take control of what they see. Additionally, other instances will have different content rules in place; what may not make sense for someone in one instance may make sense for someone else in another instance.
