reddit it's time to go

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 .id TLD (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 .ly TLD got into trouble with Libyan government back then.
- India maybe. Also Australia banned hentai.

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.
I had multiple accounts, one for work and one for drugs, porn, and piracy.
- Permanently Deleted
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.
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.
- For a lot of people: Porn, and easy access to otherwise obscure interests.
- I think ease of use helped a lot.
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.)

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)

- 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.
- you underestimate how many kinky furry technologists there are on the fediverse ;)
- I think the tech people are quite queer so there will be oc porn.
- I fear with more porn there will be more mean people coming to lemmy

That's all I use it for now anyways.

Guilt free too since they can't monopolize nsfw content. Well, mostly guilt free..
- Did you mean monetize?
- Don't kinkshame! :P
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
- Whatever works for you!

Funny, I made near the same joke a month ago

Yours is better looking too
- Yours is better written. You should collaborate.

your username lmao

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!
Lemmy's NSFW scene is unfortunately not nearly as active, especially if you're into more niche kinks. It's getting better and will hopefully continue to pick up, but as far as porn is concerned Lemmy is still miles behind Reddit.
- niche kinks
  
  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?

At this point, PornHub is a better social media platform

Twitter and Instagram are also escort hookup sites

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

Thats what the children of my friends class thought, too.

Ok, this one had me laughing. Good one

Actually that was Twitter

Lol

Not for long
