Should we ban gore content? (lemmynsfw.com)

In this instance, should we ban NSFL, hardcore gore content? I think it's not a problem since anyone can subscribe to the community they want but if the vast majority don't want it, we can ban it. Decisions must be made from the beginning.

Here's a StrawPoll link.

Edit: Looks like we are going to ban it. Commenters are right that we cannot currently list NSFW and NSFL content separately on the homepage. Since anyone can open an instance, we should let other people to open an instance on lemmynsfl.com. Also moderating these communities can be hard too. So it's okay.

I have nothing against drawn gore, though it's not something I'm into myself, but I think others are right that the content filtering we have now isn't enough to allow users to avoid it if we do permit it.

If we can make our own patches to lemmy we could supply a nsfl tag which could be distinctly different to the nsfw tag in that it:

Doesn't show to people who have nsfl disabled
Doesn't federalize this content or share it outside of lemmynsfw, but then that would defeat the purpose of lemmy idk

I always felt like reddit should have added a separate nsfl toggle as it's in a whole other ballpark, maybe lemmy could implement it?
