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

-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.
You are absolutely right, it was Nietzsche. I took Marx because of the tankies / commies hanging out on lemmy.ml.
What is a „double low-9 quotation mark“?
Ah, ok. It’s just a german keyboard. When I don’t change my language settings before I start typing it uses the german-style quotation marks.
