That is good news for my nsfwlemmy.com alt 😏😆
Comment on Reddit is purging NSFW subs as well as trans-related subreddits
sajhino@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yeah a lot of banned nsfw subs today at /r/BannedSubs. People are saying it’s because next week Reddit is gonna announce their Q4 earnings and want to attract more investors and advertisers to their “cleaner” site. Lame-ass puritans, I’d say.

Don’t be a coward, jerk off on your main and your alt!
Arkouda@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
In my experience it is better to segregate NSFW and SFW accounts. Not because it is shameful and I don’t want people seeing, but because NSFW floods feeds and I can’t get anything done when encumbered by pretty naked women. lol

And it’s pretty wild when trying to scroll anything in public or with people nearby.
Siegfried@lemmy.world 10 months ago
A post i saw in reddit back in the day mapped the net of linked communities in comment section. To surprise of no one, nsfw and sfw were in practice fully seggregated.
Petter1@lemm.ee 10 months ago
I had it like this in Reddit and my account 90% porn only pretty fast and I missed all the non porn stuff 😅
So starting here on lemmy I decided to go for a split right from beginning on different instances to additionally check each instance’s meta community about downtimes in case of a downtime.

Fine, I’ll get an NSFW alt…

How is nsfw Lemmy doing for hosting costs? Seems like it would be expensive to maintain all the images.
orclev@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Just like reddit it mostly doesn’t host the images itself, but simply links to them. Redgif seems to be the host of choice for most, although some also use catbox.

How this is called that when “lemmygetnaked” would’ve been infinitely better I’ll never know…

If I had to guess, they are testing the ability to switch these off in anticipation of more Trumpian laws being passed
stoy@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
The reaction was the bug.

Testing a new AI moderator in production, I’d wager.

alexc@lemmy.world 10 months ago
The kind where they were getting ready to do it, and then pulled the trigger early
db2@lemmy.world 10 months ago
They clearly have a list.
danc4498@lemmy.world 10 months ago
They get all the nsfw traffic for the full quarter, and use that for their earnings report. Pretty damn dishonest.
AbidanYre@lemmy.world 10 months ago
How’d that work out for tumblr?
NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
Tumblr was already in a bad place and was further cannibalized by instagram (and reddit).
Reddit still has no meaningful alternatives. Yes, we like lemmy. Most people don’t and won’t. They want corporate social media. Just look at how long it took people to leave twitter. And they only did once BlueSky had open sign ups.
scarabic@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Huh? I follow your point about people and their inertia. But I don’t follow this part.
What turns people off about Lemmy is the complexity of instances and federation and clients. Please nobody lecture me here - I’m active on Lemmy and moderate some subs, but we’re talking about your uncle Bob and his level of ordinary people. We should not forget that these people scrunched up their faces at Twitter itself for years and said ”but what is it?” Only in the fullness of time did it permeate our entire society.
If by “corporate social media” you mean “free, simple, high quality UX, and high popularity” then I agree with you. But it’s the simplicity and popularity that count, not the corporateness.
Gigasser@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Is it really that complex? The API fiasco had me moving here, and I’ll tell you right now, I ain’t the tech savviest.
Glitterkoe@lemmy.world 10 months ago
But in the end it’s just as with email: providers, spam filters and clients. Some providers have stricter spam filters (~federation), some might prefer another client. Has there been any significant reason to deviate from that terminology?
Meaningful discovery is a major issue in adoption, though. Pro: no search/discovery algorithm that serves some evil plan of world enshittification. Con: no search/discovery algorithm.
aesthelete@lemmy.world 10 months ago
This is a very good point that should be pointed out more often. I think the longevity of the ecosystem matters more than the active user count today. Eventually through pure erosion lemmy and other decentralized platforms could wind up winning in popularity as well if things get worse everywhere else and they’re stable enough to continue adding new users.
SabinStargem@lemmings.world 10 months ago
I am hoping the EU and Blue States does a funding program to make open-source and federated projects more user-friendly. There is far too many proprietary ecosystems that will turncoat within years. We need alternatives that are approachable and easy for people to transfer their lives into.
SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
Just thinking the same thing. I wonder if this gets reversed or not.
