Funny, I made near the same joke a month ago
Yours is better looking too
Yours is better written. You should collaborate.
Reddit had terrible performance and was just lame. I am so glad they fell apart and brought me to Lemmy. It blows it away.
Whilst developing sync I’ve been constantly surprised how goddamn fast Lemmy is.
And federation, too! It’s pretty neat!

Fear not, your Blåhaj-Hentai already exists on Lemmy!
As someone who does not watch porn and never saw it on Reddit or Lemmy, why does it have to be on community platforms? Aren’t there already numerous websites explicitly for porn?
Amateur content does a lot better on places like Reddit, a lot of porn sites pretty much don’t allow it

your username checks out too 😊

Back in the day, we tried to get Reddit unblocked in our country, which blocks porn websites. No amount of arguments can convince the government agency in charge of the block list that Reddit is not a porn site. They probably got tired of us pestering them and send back a whole bunch of screenshots of porns in Reddit to justify the block.
I guess Reddit is a porn site.
“Look at all this stuff that you’re not allowed to look at.”
Seriously though, what government is not letting you slap the salami in this day and age?
They did blur the screenshots though, but yeah, pretty much flexing that they can browse anything without restriction in their office, lmao.
It’s Indonesia btw. That reminds me, I do have a concern about Lemmy instances that use
.idTLD (e.g. lemdro.id). It’s Indonesian TLD, so it might subject to Indonesian law, so they’ll might run into trouble if they federate with porns communities. Might be a similar situation where websites with.lyTLD got into trouble with Libyan government back then.That’s the goal of all censors - undisputed authority. You can’t argue with what you can’t see.
India maybe. Also Australia banned hentai.
So, hentai (really any anime) doesn’t appeal to me personally, but why in the hell would it be banned?
Uneducated guess: the preponderance of subjects which appear to be underage (despite the fact that they are indeed a 1000 year old demon)
Australia doesn’t treat it’s people like citizens, rather as subjects. Totally different dynamic.
Yeah, didn’t they make girls with small tits illegal or something?
Yeah. I just remembered how the UK outlawed Women’s orgasms in porn, calling it piss.
That’s hilarious. Just picturing the Australian federal police raiding poor neckbeards and NEETs to confiscate their hentai stash. Heaven forbid horny cartoons be allowed to corrupt the youth lol.
In my 10+ years of using Reddit never once did I visit a NSFW sub. It’s always been a forum for sharing information for me.
You missed so much
The golden days of gone wild were wild.
Yeah, it was great before OnlyFans blew up.
Even /r/OnlyFans was awesome in its own way
Gone; wild.
Every now and then there were a couple I would check in on.
But I figured why bother when there are dedicated sites just for porn.
With a good app and a dedicated account it was possible to create a curated selection that was easy to ‘browse’ one handed.
NSFW subs used to show up in /r/all so they were easy to stumble upon and learn about without even having to intentionally look for them.
If I remember correctly they never actually displayed the images (or thumbnails) themselves in the all feed unless there was an option to allow it.
Right?
I feel like the only person who used reddit for conversation.
Thankfully it seems like many of the wittier reddit users moved here (at least until they’re drowned out.)
Smells funny
There was a subreddit for that
same here but shorter time. why did it flourish more than forums though!? that’s the mistery
Personally I think the format of upvoting posts to decide what people talk about, upvoting comments to decide what information/opinions get more visibility, and branching comment threads so you can have multiple conversations about the same topic is just a much nicer format than forum threads just being bumped because someone posted “bump” and having multiple conversations trying to keep track of each other in one single comment thread. Unfortunately that formula can be easily replicated so really it was just a matter of time before similar alternatives popped up. Same thing happening with Twitter and Threads, all you did was give people a different way to post Facebook statuses, you didn’t really “invent” anything so much as iterate on an existing concept and nothing about the idea was that difficult to replicate once it was legitimized as a tried and true formula.
“Unfortunately that formula can be easily replicated so really it was just a matter of time before similar alternatives popped up.”
I disagree on the unfortunate part. I think it’s good that alternatives are easy to make. That means I don’t have to put up with the shenanigans to have the type of forum I’ve enjoyed.
Well yes, what I meant by that word choice was “unfortunately for Reddit”, but good for you and me! I’m loving that people seem to be realizing that it’s really not hard making an alternative to what is essentially a text-based website.
The thing that is truly unfortunate is how much harder the same is to do for data-heavy sites for sharing images, videos, etc.
reddit awards were an invention and great idea tbh, especially in subs like ELI5 and r/math. Gold or star awarded comments were really dope
For a lot of people: Porn, and easy access to otherwise obscure interests.
I think ease of use helped a lot.
Ease of use for the moderators and end users. How many user names and passwords would I have to keep track of before? The effort isn’t much, but it adds up.
I brilliantly solved this problem by having same username and password for all the forums I was participating in. But that was way before digg even was a thing, I don’t even remember where I should start looking again
I had a common usename and a common first 6 letters of the password. Then 3 numbers that were different from each forum and that was written down. Not great, but it would take some serious leaps of logic even if my system was compromised. I also took password generation more seriously if it was attached to a payment system, so things like Amazon, ebay or PayPal had much larger, more random passwords.
At this point, PornHub is a better social media platform
Truer words have never been spoken. Nic(h)e porn, nic(h)e hobbies. It’s time to rebuild here. Also it still blows my mind to hear about the amount of money people used to throw on customizible avatars & awards( 3k, like how tf do you even live at this point)

you underestimate how many kinky furry technologists there are on the fediverse ;)

You’ll take what you can get, and you’ll like it!
I think Ian Malcom’s quote “porn will find a way” helps alleviate that. Porn has always been at the forefront of new tech. I think this will be that way too but hopefully we have responsible admins who help to make it only true if you look for it.
I fear with more porn there will be more mean people coming to lemmy
I think the tech people are quite queer so there will be oc porn.

am I the only one who didn’t use deaddit for p0rn‽
Never used it for p0rn, only to find new ways to spend money and get my dumb self informed about tech topics I was interested in
No you are not. I didn’t even know there was porn on Reddit
Twitter and Instagram are also escort hookup sites
That’s all I use it for now anyways.
You need to be careful with all the subs marking themselves as NSFW in protest. I found myself slapping the salami over /r/DIY by mistake.
Tbf you did diy
Nah they DIWH. Did it with help.
Guilt free too since they can’t monopolize nsfw content. Well, mostly guilt free…
Did you mean monetize?
Well, they can’t monopolize it either, and don’t call me Shirley.
your username lmao
Thats what the children of my friends class thought, too.
Actually that was Twitter
Ok, this one had me laughing. Good one
Not for long
