      Tbh that whole instance should have a rule about 0 self promotion to paywalled and/or abridged content without a link to the full source for free as well. It’s really anyone to have any links stifled because he OP is an onlyfans model. If you wanna post here for advertisement, you better put up or shut up.

      That dead woman called Tumblr is still walking with a healthy strut these days, also soaking up some displaced Redditors. Horny shit is slowly but surely returning to Tumblr’s fields, as well.

      Tumblr illustrates the problem with porn in general, they didn’t shut it down for no reason, they shut it down because the pedos had decided to use it as a dissemination portal for their vile shit, and the structure of Tumblr made it difficult to moderate away, especially at scale. Thus, Apple threatening to pull them from the app store, for good reason. All they could do was go scorched earth on porno.

      So that’s the issue we’re going to have, here, and I’m not sure if the “some guy running an instance for the fuck of it” model is prepared for it.

        The key difference with lemmy is, if that one instance is the one disseminating cp, they get defederated, and so removed from the other normal users, and then if the instance doesn’t shut down, LEO gets involved. The other normal porn-hosting instances can operate business as usual.

          Law enforcement would probably shut down such instances faster than the rest of Lemmy could collectively defederate them.

          Hosting such stuff on the clear web is basically asking for a joint FBI, NCA and other major law enforcement agency raid on your premises.

            I don’t know, law enforcement can be pretty slow. I definitely see a few cease and desists happening before any real action, and as soon as that starts, the sane instances defederate.

            Regardless, the point is, they get taken care of in one of a multitude of ways.

        Not quite how it happened.

        Yahoo banned porn on Tumblr because Apple found a CSAM image on their platform, banned their app from the App Store, then as a condition for unbanning the Tumblr app, issued them an ultimatum to outright ban pornographic content. I originally thought that Yahoo’s justification was an excuse they used because they couldn’t be bothered to invest the resources needed to purge illegal content from their platform, but apparently Discord have been hit with similarly puritanical demands from Apple and Google, who basically have a monopoly on what apps go on your smartphone,

        Nevertheless, Tumblr’s porn exodus is the core reason why Yahoo sold the platform to Automattic for pennies compared to how much they originally acquired Tumblr for. It even sparked a renaissance of lewd artists flocking to Newgrounds - a site that was originally on its knees due to the death of Flash animations and browser gaming.

        It’s also worth noting that Automattic have since partially dialed-back the ban. Nudity is allowed on Tumblr again, but graphic sexual content isn’t. Obviously they did this in direct response to Elon Musk enshittifying Twitter. Another reason I think Tumblr is living on is because it was known for three things: porn, niche fandoms and social justice warriors. Musk has notably burned bridges with any Twitter users who oppose hate speech.

        God forbid if Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai find out there’s porn on Reddit…

      When I browse “all” on here, there is the occasional tiddy in between. I appreciate that. Reddit’s r/all was so much better when nudity wasn’t purged from it.

        Can I 100 % ban all porn from my feed? I feel like people aren’t obligated to flag their porn stuff so how can it be filtered?

          Probably not yet. Hopefully better tagging and filtering features could be implemented in the future, right now the devs are understandably busy with performance optimization however. Third party apps might be able to filter better client-side, too. Blocking entire instances for example (like lemmynsfw.com).

          If you want porn gone from your All feed right now you have to manually block subs that allow it. It is possible, but will be tedious. You can turn off NSFW completely on your profile, but that also filters out non-porn NSFW posts of course.

          Edit: your Home feed will be clean as long as you don’t subscribe to any subs that allow porn. But that doesn’t give you the chance to find new subs like on All.

      Technology has more or less flowed with the proliferation of porn. VHS (over Betamax), bluray (over HD-DVD), online payments and other Internet features rose to prominence because pornographic content helped spearhead their adoption.

      I’m not sure that’s a valid comparison. Tumblr was overwhelmingly porn, which was its biggest selling point. The only thing dumber was when OnlyFans tried to ban hardcore porn (Fortunately, I guess, they saw the light pretty quick and relented)

      While Reddit always had porn, it was never the primary draw.

        Seeing as we are both alt porn users, if I disable NSFW on my main, will it show me non porn NSFW? There’s a community called uncle jokes and a lot of their posts are marked NSFW. And I don’t wanna miss them.

      That’s a myth. Betamax lost because it couldn’t record long enough. Movies had to be on two tapes. By the time they finally extended the time VHS was already dominant

          Ha, what’s a reddit?! 😉

          Somebody already pointed out technology connections is a good source and how rigorous his research is but I wanted to ask what your source was that you were referring to as decades of wisdom?

          Did you mean you heard it decades ago and repeated since but it was just rumour or “common knowledge” of the time? I ask because I find your answer, and similar, frustrating. I would wager you didn’t watch the video at all since you dismissed it out of hand and are steadfastly sticking to your guns (though I could be wrong) but you don’t offer any reputable source as a counter, just that you heard it decades ago and probably repeated by many people who have no other knowledge than they heard somebody repeat the same incorrect factoid many times so it has become wisdom. Like daddy-long-legs being the most venomous spider in the world but can’t pierce human skin, or ostriches putting their heads in sand, etc etc - all made up/incorrect but repeated frequently enough and never fact checked so understood to be true or equates to decades of wisdom that people “cite”

      Betamax may have been higher quality, but the fact is that consumer TVs of the time couldn’t display the difference in quality.

    I don’t like porn, and I don’t want to see it, but I’m glad it’s come here since it can bring more people in (like Reddit’s porn communities)
