I have that problem too, but I know why. Beehaw federates with some nsfw instances and lets users choose to opt out. When making my account I checked the box to see nsfw stuff, remembering how various conversations over on reddit would be tagged nsfw, but that was a mistake. There are no discussions tagged nsfw, only porn. It must be possible to change that option somewhere, but I haven't really investigated yet.
It's in your user settings, you can always disable it of course.
Yeah, I think I'll look into in as well. On Reddit sometimes people would use NSFW as a trigger warning on writing, but I'm not really triggered by writing. I'm not super into porn of any kind, though, so I'd rather not see that kind of content.
I checked the box to see NSFW stuff for the same reason. The app I'm using (Connect) hides the previews for NSFW stuff, so that's handy.
This would be a real good feature request. The conflation of porn, gore, and discussion of sexuality all haphazardly into the category of NSFW has always been an annoyance to those who want the option of blocking one but not the others. Offering built-in labels would go along way.
