1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

No, I've genuinely never seen the point of NSFW tags.
If you're worried about NSFW tags you shouldn't be using the resource that might have them under whatever circumstances are making you worry about NSFW tags.
Have some self control, the internet ain't your nanny, take responsibility for what resources you use and when, don't try to shift the blame onto the people providing you with said resources (and for free, no less!).
You've basically just excluded ninety per cent of the Internet from being used. And it's not surprising that this is coming from someone with an account on the lemmynsfw instance.
If everyone followed your logic, you wouldn't even be posting this because your instance would have been defederated a long time ago to not lose users.
I'm excluding 99% of the internet from being used in specific circumstances, sure. Or rather pointing out that it's the users' responsibility to do so, since no one else can know what is suitable or not in their current specific circumstances.
If you can't wait to browse something that might contain something unsuitable for your current circumstances until you find yourself in circumstances where it's suitable that's on you, not on whoever is producing or serving said content.
