that’s your choice, and that’s entirely fine. but it’s different when a platform deliberately makes it inaccessible.
Comment on Porn is harder to access

… and here I am, actively blocking porn or porn-adjacent shit on Lemmy.

Why? It’s their platform.
hypelightfly@kbin.social 2 years ago
It's actually the exact same thing. It's their choice.
AA5B@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I prefer platforms block porn, because a usable internet requires a basic level of organization so you can find what you want. Sometimes I’m not looking for porn
metallic_substance@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I like porn. I’m a fan. But I’m with you on that. If I want it, I know where to get it. It’s not really why I’m here.
Also, it really ruins it for me that because it’s all user -contributed, it feels like being recommended porn by a creepy, off-puttingly thirsty highschooler. Given the demographics in places like this, that may actually be somewhat close to reality
Zippy@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I can understand why a person has no interest in it and I personally don’t need to access it but I also don’t really care if it available. I do not become offended if it is available.
In reality I am far more uncomfortable with violent content yet they seem to get far less attention then porn.

I mean, I block it as well, not because I’m a prude, but because I want to read stuff etc. without looking at naked bodies. When I want to get funky, I switch to my other account which is only subscribed to porn.

Been doing that since the bad place. It’s a great system.
rikudou@lemmings.world 2 years ago
Same.
who8mydamnoreos@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Same, Its not that i don’t like porn but i got tired of blocking every instance of furry porn; like how many do you need?
Fal@yiffit.net 2 years ago
There’s only one instance dedicated to furry porn
wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 2 years ago
They probably meant the other definition of instance. Although I don’t know how many of those there are, haven’t run into any of them myself. I’ve seen usernames from what must be the one you’re referring to, but luckily haven’t run into any content from it.

I’m constantly having to block porn shit on tumblr and all the stupid bots that come with it.
Chriszz@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Am I the only one who has seen absolutely no porn on lemmy ever? I haven’t had to block any but I would if I saw it. Where are you guys seeing this?
frosty99c@lemmy.world 2 years ago
When you signed up, did you select “Show NSFW content?”
Chriszz@lemmy.world 2 years ago
That might be it. I can’t remember but it would explain why I don’t see any porn.
Steeve@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
It’s just a checkbox in your account settings. Either that or lemmy.world defederated from the porn instance, but I doubt that
DrQuint@lemm.ee 2 years ago
I only ever see it on /c/all, and it’s relatively little and it’s all vanilla, single naked model shit. Basically as non-pornographic porn can get while still being porn (aka: OnlyFans ads and reposted Celeb shit).
I was here slightly before the exodus, and the most hilarious post-exodus post I saw was people saying “our lemmy porn is normalizing, we’re finally becoming a place open for normies”, where the OP was saying that the Furries were going away. The thing is: Furries were NEVER a sizable, noticeable presence on Lemmy to begin with. This isn’t Blueskies, the community isn’t suspiciously a bunch fo bara fur enjoyers. And they said that around the time Burggit opened up, meaning degeneracy was going UP.
So basically, People who complain about Porn on Lemmy just confuse me. Tech, Sports and Politics shit are actual garbage that ACTUALLY floods the entire dashboard.
Armen12@lemm.ee 2 years ago
No
Everyone complaining about porn on lemmy is lying, there’s literally nothing here. they’re just ultra-conservative right-wingers who hate sex
