Back in the day, on other forums than this one, there were tags to differentiate between porn (nsfw) and gore (nsfl). This was nice for people browsing new that had no problem seeing tits, but wanted to avoid degloved hands.
Throughout the years, the NSFL tag went out of use. What happened?
Some of it is the Disneyfication that goes with the enshittification at the Old Place. In pursuit of the Holy IPO, they banned a lot of that stuff. Some for good reason (child porn, toxic disinformation…), and some for not so good reasons (banning or NSFW-ing weed subs.)
Also happened at Tumblr (which killed it) and Youtube, which makes it incredibly hard on content creators as they get strikes on their account at the drop of a hat for petty bullshit. When a business goes big, and the suit-and-tie caste hear the siren song of stock options, all of the sudden they’ll start Big-Brothering everyone on the platform so some Wall Street boomer doesn’t publicly lose his shit and cause the share prices to tank.
Reddit brought down the banhammer hard on a lot of ‘controversial’ communities around 4 or so years ago.

Would that be a gory classic Fender guitar?
Nobody cares about it, anymore.
Frankly, I’m not surprised. With the amount of actually gruesome footage shown in mainstream media, and those abominable “here’s Mr. Mittens that I saved after somebody threw him into a mud, plz gib upovtes nao!” stories only pretending to be wholesome, we kind of went numb and don’t perceive gruesome content as very interesting.
I’ve been on the internet for 25 years at least. Gore doesn’t go away.
Gore. Gore never changes.
It doesn’t go away.
It’s simply not as alluring as it was before, when combat footage, or recordings from yet another mass shooting appear everywhere, hardly any censored.
I still see it, albeit rarely, on some subreddits, eg. NatureIsMetal
Does anyone here have the capability to implement this? Is it a Lemmy admin thing or can the app devs do something?
Considering a lot of gore content is illegal in places such as the US, it’s possible they the tag doesn’t exist anymore on most places to avoid promoting the content.

LOL WUT? 1st amendment has entered the chat…
ok, let me clarify. Obscenity is not protected under the first amendment. Accidental gore/maiming is maybe allowed, at most it’s a grey area until its concidered obscene, however once it hits the obscenity level the supreme court has declared that it is a violation of federal law and therefore illegal. It’s a huge reason that many sites actively take the content down and have it against TOS. Most enforcement/regulation with the standing is generally in relation to minors, but it isn’t exclusive to minors.
