  • Me, on lemmy.ml where the only trending communities are dead communities with 3 members created 2 years ago:

    • Let me guess:

      The first one is „God is dead“ by admin „K_Marx“

      The second one is: „Marx is dead“ by admin „God“

      But can’t you be on lemmy.ml and follow all the interesting communities from other instances (which might be harder to find, though)?

      • The only instances that are blocked are porn ones, that's a thing I don't miss from reddit tbh, but the swear filter is really dumb. And doesn't really fucking filters swears, but it's really dumb regardless, since it's neither opt-in nor opt-out, it's just there.

        • This almost seems like if the “god fraction“ has won…

          I know that they had a “no porn” rule, but “no swearing” is new to me. Surely it will be a healthy family-friendly community.

          I have no issue with some occasional nudes in my timeline. I could blur or filter it, if I would want to avoid this.

          But porn in the web for me is an important part of the “freedom of expression”, therefore I find it anachronistic if some community tries to block / ban this.

          • Sure, but porn is so easily available that one only needs to explicitly look for it. Meanwhile there was a deluge of fetish communities appearing that every user had to block individually if they didn't want 10 fart fetish posts on their timeline, so it was a quality of life improvement to block those communities on the server level.

            • Of course you can get anything online if you go for it. But this kind of occasional nudes in my “all” timeline reminds me of the old Reddit days - and is quite nice as long as it doesn’t become too much.

              So far I’ve never seen any fart-fetish community / post in my timeline tbh.

              • Well it wasn't really occasional at the start when lots of people started creating new communities, every day there would be a bunch of new posts from new communities appearing in All

                before we had defederated from the porn server, I had blocked

                -Diaper porn

                -Gone wild

                -One just called "porn"

                -Hentai

                -Sissy chastity

                -huge boobs

                -Celebs

                -Yiff (ifkyk)

                -Ass

                -Anal

                -General NSFW

                -Femboys

                -Lewd Games

                -Rule34

                -AsiansGoneWild

                -Furry Chat

                -Gay furry porn

                -Furry Videos

                -Petplay Yiff

                -feet

                -sapphic hentai

                -sapphic art

                -Sissies

                -Hentai - BDSM

                -GoneMild

                -Grool

                -GoneMildPlus

                -Trans Hydro Hotties

                -Blowjob

                and at some point it's like, could we make porn opt-in instead of playing whack a mole with every niche fetish? Yeah there's an NSFW option, but that's more for hiding the images themselves, not ignoring the communities or servers.

      • I thought that was an exchange between Nietzsche and God, or it used to be. Anyway, I was unaware that the double low-9 quotation mark was even a thing so thanks for that.
