I love that over on Reddit most of the content is still coming from Xitter. The only change is that they aren't posting direct links crediting the person who made it.
What a half-ass way to boycott a site.
Well, from what I've seen, they're really bad at boycotting things. They couldn't even handle "reddit blackout" in 2023 and most of redditors came back after a day.
Some of us are still here since they black out. I haven’t posted or commented on there since.
That's because it happens frequently, so people who are good at boycotting things leave gradually.
For Lemmy just replace racism with unsolicited Linux advice
Man I love Flatpaks.
What did Linux do to you?
I get what you are saying, but you should try Chimera Linux.
We are racists when it comes to operating systems. No windows allowed at home.
Maybe we need a term for this. What do the gender focused Lemmy crowd think is a good term for not accepting windows.
Windophobic?
Microcis
OSist
basically me, but there opposite when Musky Husky took over:
"Urgh. Racism in my porn app?"
The only problem I have with x alternatives currently (both Bluesky and Mastodon) is that my favourite r34 artists havent really switched plattforms :(
Btw, Rule34-xxx is superior.
A cultured being
You should check. I've been surprised by the amount of "suggested accounts" on bluesky that were people I lost track of when quitting twitter.
A lot of Japanese artists are on misskey, so...
A few months ago there was a pretty big wave of creatives moving to Bkuesky. I think around October. There might be more than when you checked last.
I joined Bluesky in december. Many of my favourite artists even have accounts there. They just aren't that active. Same with Misskey.
In levels of racism, misogyny, prejudice, X is on the same level as 9Gag
Gosh, 9gag was so cool, like, 15 years ago :(
exactly, it used to be that way 15 years ago now it is an incel-infested basement
No it's not. 9GAG is untouchable in this aspect.
I never understood people posting porn to microblogging sites. What's the point of this? There are literally millions of other places to get porn already, it's like what the Internet was invented for.
But how else will you hear about all the little details of their daily lives on a regular porn site? The parasocial connections to your favorite porn stars aren't gonna form all by themselves!
You joke but the sad thing is that this is how OF content creators drum up the most business. They prey on giving lonely/intimacy challenged people some sort of subconscious feeling of hope and connection to someone else inside a screen. Why else would you pay for prawn? It's literally free all over the internet.
It's usually there so people seek out the only fans / subscription content. Additionally for general exposure (ha!), likes and followers.
Yeah in that context I guess it makes sense.
No thanks, I'd rather post my nudes on Lemmy.
There was a vibe to it before tumblr banned all the porn. Lots of actual real stuff that was made just because people wanted to without any intention to monetize. Just people having fun. But I’m not sure that exists anymore. I don’t think it was really efficient or anything but I guess if you’re just casually posting some anonymous nudes and share them with a bunch of people it would feel weird to upload that on pornhub.
i thought it was just women promoting their onlyfans like they do on Reddit and really any social media
I've read that it used to be a great place for really niche stuff. BUT your point still stands because I'm really not sure why that would be. Maybe the interface or something lent itself to that well or maybe it just hit the right moment and took off.
I think it's because of the advertising system. Once you stumble onto one of them, you get the "content makers" retweeting eachother. It doesn't cost them a dime to retweet someone else's post, and if you retweet, you're gonna get retweeted.
I'm still convinced there are some women I know that have/had an only fans (because of sudden changes to living quality without job promotions or other new sources of income). But this system also benefits them, if it is niche stuff like feet for instance, you'll never find them, and you'll never know it if you did. If it's "normal stuff" (good luck getting me to define that, I have no fucking clue anymore) most "content makers" hide their identities pretty well, and I'd bet money that there are unspoken agreements between them to assist in keeping it that way.
It's like a little more curated. Plus it can be interactive. There are nsfw activities that you can't do on porn sites.
I keep it to quickly check service outages.
Xbox, crunchy, Netflix, etc down? Check Twitter. If a bunch of people are talking about it. It's down. If not then it's probably a local thing with my ISP.
So true. Two years ago I still used twitter for nsfw content, but even that got weird (and really suspicious sometimes).
This is why we can't have nice things.
It's called Twix
