Wasn't me, probably people they banned
I've seen far more bad stuff make it to my timeline from the heavily censored iron curtain of lemmy.ml than anything remotely bad from here. Makes sense to me, it isn't fun if you're not going to get a reaction.
Oh dang, well that's one reason I'm glad images don't show up in Lotide by default then!
I saw that post. They can't really stop it being openly federated.
There is a reason reddit implemented shadow bans, moderator bots, karma thresh holds to limit posting, visibility and reach.
I think people should expect to see horrible things on the fediverse from time to time its not that big of a deal. It will get deleted in the morning.
I saw a dude fuck a chicken on a donald trump discord back in the day. Can't be worse that that. Discord probably has AI to keep that stuff at bay these days.
well I think reddit implemented some of those more because they're control freaks but I can see how some of those things arise as a defense against these kinds of posts

I think it was more common on the internet some time ago
I saw a dude
the things I've seen online that "haunt" me a bit when I think of it I guess are the watchpeopledie videos, seen enough suicide and death vids. Which is why I think I posted about what people think of gore, if not on here, then on another forum, wondering what people think of this kind of stuff. I'm pretty much desensitized to it but it's not something I would really want to choose to see. If people posted it and I have to take it down as a mod or I had a job like that, I don't think I'd be bothered by it (as someone posted a woman who had a job doing this who got mental issues from it and was trying to sue her employer). Maybe not as desensitized as I just look at it as a physical thing that happens, I don't feel as emotional about it. I do feel bad for the people and things in the world and suffer myself, but I also accept that certain things are happening or happened.
Yeah, I second this. Reddit has far far far more violent and disgusting content.
The only reason they had the tools @masterofballs@wolfballs.com mentioned, is because they are authoritarians
I don't want gore post. I don't consider that free speech. Its not a expression. You can't wave someone's decapitated head around a town square.
People who think that the Internet shouldn't contain things they don't want to see don't understand the history of the Internet or the nature of the Internet. The fediverse is just more honest about it.
It's like if you were in the biggest shopping mall in the world with billions of people visiting every day, would you leave a 5 year old child wandering around there? Do you think mall security would be powerful enough to make sure that 5 year old was safe? I think it's absurd to think so.
I hope to keep my kid off the Internet unsupervised until I think he's emotionally ready to see the goatse guy. Why? Because I grew up with the Internet, I know what's on here.
