Thing is, there are NSFW things that aren't porn. Seems like a decent amount of them on Lemmy. I shouldn't need to filter out all NSFW simply because there's a shotgun blast of new porn communities every month. I ended up just blocking every one I see, simply because that's not what I'm on Lemmy for.

Truth be told, I won't miss it.

Cold shower might be more appropriate, eh?

Is this psythik's alt or another fool?

Dude I'm actively seeking to limit my usage of porn, respectfully go fuck yourself. I won't miss regularly seeing Lemmy porn.

Edit: ITT lotta people who are very sensitive about their porn going away.

Plenty of us are here actively trying to limit our access to those like you. I shouldn't need to block entire communities just to avoid you. Yet here we are.

What are you gonna do, be a hypocrite and tell me to just block you? Stop taking your allowance to be here for granted, you're being tolerated, just as much as you're tolerating others. That's how the world works.

They could be dead. Or imprisoned. Or just not interested anymore.

Hey, good on you for trying to make your situation better. I hope you're doing it for the right reasons , instead of swallowing the bullshit that they peddle to control people (being concerned about masturbating too much/intrusive fantasies VS "not jerking off will get you babes and give you superpowers")

However, giving up on the NSFW stuff (some of which won't be lewd) is the price you have to pay. the NSFW thing is a social construct and courtesy , and is 95% lewd shit anyway, so you're not exactly missing out on much.

I mean there's a high chance it also got ransomwared.

Yeah that's true.

New email account, a VPN or new IP, new cookies, they can't actually ban a person.

But screw reddit. People need to get off it.

We need a corp BS free, free speech, public platform.

It takes as much effort as that comment did.

Who cares ‍️

If you want to preserve lemmy content launch your own instance and cache it yourself. If you want to control your own communities, launch your own instance and host it yourself.

Fuck! My first account was on lemmy.ee which passed away a few months ago. My second account was on lemmynsfw thinking the presence of porn would be a guarantee of its sustainability. It's like been banned twice from Reddit.

I did some rough math on this and that would be the least of the worries. The cost of hosting a nsfw instance would easily be $500-$1000 per month.

Which leaves me wondering if part of it going down was funding.

You can block instances instead of whining about them.

Wait, what happened?

You cannot expect to atomize your world into billions of isolated individuals without losing something. We need community, individualism will only get you so far.

Real question - how does one host a Lemmy that accepts all sorts of content without having to keep constant tabs on it?

Like, if we did sprinkle nsfw content throughout dozens of Lemmy servers?

I'm asking this because I hosted a pixelfed server one time, allowed thousand users, and those abuse reports became hard on my soul. Some were pretty vanilla nsfw. But some required me to forward it to 3-letter agencies in the States. And while I'm not a fan of talking to the cops, I'm also not a fan of awful shit on my server.
