I don't want to see gore in my timeline. It has happened multiple times in the last couple days. Hence my post. Reporting isn't bad, and it isn't censorship. Neither is blocking. If people post NSFW content and don't tag it as such, user reports can help to solve this issue post-facto. Blocking is just me deciding to not see certain content. It doesn't have an effect on others. You're free to do as you please, but after encountering this issue multiple times in the span of less than a week I thought a PSA was warranted. I am assuming that most people don't know that NSFW tagging exist.

I see your point, that you don't want to see certain things in your timeline. But it seems like NSFW could mean many different things to different people.

What does reporting do that blocking doesn’t? Tell a relay which content to block? Tell centralized services and relay networks what and who to block? This feels like a slippery slope.
