Why the hell is every app and program out there just being prude bitches and making porn harder to access?
What kind of gourmet shit are you hunting for?
Gourmet shit, obviously.
Scat Apps hate this one simple trick!
… and here I am, actively blocking porn or porn-adjacent shit on Lemmy.
I’m constantly having to block porn shit on tumblr and all the stupid bots that come with it.
Am I the only one who has seen absolutely no porn on lemmy ever? I haven’t had to block any but I would if I saw it. Where are you guys seeing this?
When you signed up, did you select “Show NSFW content?”
That might be it. I can’t remember but it would explain why I don’t see any porn.
It’s just a checkbox in your account settings. Either that or lemmy.world defederated from the porn instance, but I doubt that
No
Everyone complaining about porn on lemmy is lying, there’s literally nothing here. they’re just ultra-conservative right-wingers who hate sex
I only ever see it on /c/all, and it’s relatively little and it’s all vanilla, single naked model, still photo shit. Basically as non-pornographic porn can get while still being porn (aka: OnlyFans ads and reposted Celeb shit).
I was here slightly before the exodus, and the most hilarious post-exodus post I saw was people saying “our lemmy porn is normalizing, we’re finally becoming a place open for normies”, where the OP was saying that the Furries were going away. The thing is: Furries were NEVER a sizable, noticeable presence on Lemmy to begin with. This isn’t Blueskies, the community isn’t suspiciously a bunch fo bara fur enjoyers. And they said that around the time Burggit opened up and being talked a bunch as the place to defederate, meaning degeneracy was going UP.
So basically, People who complain about Porn on Lemmy just confuse me. Tech, Sports and Politics shit are actual garbage that ACTUALLY floods the entire dashboard.
I can understand why a person has no interest in it and I personally don’t need to access it but I also don’t really care if it available. I do not become offended if it is available.
In reality I am far more uncomfortable with violent content yet they seem to get far less attention then porn.
I mean, I block it as well, not because I’m a prude, but because I want to read stuff etc. without looking at naked bodies. When I want to get funky, I switch to my other account which is only subscribed to porn.
Been doing that since the bad place. It’s a great system.
Same.
that’s your choice, and that’s entirely fine. but it’s different when a platform deliberately makes it inaccessible.
Why? It’s their platform.

It’s actually the exact same thing. It’s their choice.
Unless it’s a government mandate I don’t have a problem with platforms doing that.
I prefer platforms block porn, because a usable internet requires a basic level of organization so you can find what you want. Sometimes I’m not looking for porn
I like porn. I’m a fan. But I’m with you on that. If I want it, I know where to get it. It’s not really why I’m here.
Also, it really ruins it for me that because it’s all user -contributed, it feels like being recommended porn by a creepy, off-puttingly thirsty highschooler. Given the demographics in places like this, that may actually be somewhat close to reality
Same, Its not that i don’t like porn but i got tired of blocking every instance of furry porn; like how many do you need?
deleted by creator
There’s only one instance dedicated to furry porn
They probably meant the other definition of instance. Although I don’t know how many of those there are, haven’t run into any of them myself. I’ve seen usernames from what must be the one you’re referring to, but luckily haven’t run into any content from it.

The UK law got overturned .
Good to know, that law was asbsolutely ridiculous.
Ha, I sent a very long and furious email to my (Labour) MP when that law got introduced, basically saying excuse me I’m a woman that squirts, what are you as a fellow woman going to do about a law that says that’s a deviant and obscene act? And got completely ignored - usually I got a generic response from her on other issues, on that I just got tumbleweed.
(And before I get any thirsty messages, I’m menopausal and that bitch has dried up. Nothing to see, move on.)
Good on you for weirding out your MP! Let them know how perverted they should really be in the parliament (they’re your representative after all).
If you make money through ads, you either use one of the few companies that accept porn
I don’t get this one. Why won’t people advertise on porn sites? A people who watch porn less likely to be customers? Or are they just as good, and there’s a huge market untapped outside of gambling and porn and everyone should advertise their services on porn sites? Or is it that the only companies that are good at figuring out what specific ads to show just refuse, and in an alternate reality where they didn’t you could just as easily advertise on NSFW websites?

I see so much porn on this site lemmy alone… scroll by new and hot, and you find tons of it… it’s actually kind of annoying how often I see naked chicks and dicks and more on this site compared to others that do good at censoring it from the front pages…
Huh, I never see porn, but then I sort by the 12 hour thing.
Depends on your home instance I guess. Lemmy.ml has an outright ban, so some only slips through once in a blue moon.
I guess so. I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info.
Yeah, if I sort by new, or hot, I will get plenty of boob/vag images… not that I’m hating, I believe women should be able to post this is they want, but I also am not a huge porn consumer as woman myself… it’s just not my bag. Lol so it can be a little surpriseing to see full bodies after reading musk foiled Ukrainian plans, the Wisconsin GOP trying to impeach an elected (D) supreme court judge, and then bam! Crotch shot lmao 🤣😂
You are doing internet wrongly.
Advertisers don’t like it, and won’t advertise where there’s porn. Advertisers pay for most of these websites’ existence. They capitulate to the demands.
Don’t forget about payment processors like visa that can enforce restrictions on NSFW content
Every porn site I’ve ever been too is loaded with ads so they can’t be too bad. I will admit almost every ad is for other porn sites/scams
Christ, man! LibreWolf/Fennec with uBlpck, please!
-> pornhub.com
-> xvideos.com
An adjacent question that you brought to mind, why are people so intent on using “apps” for everything. It feels as if browsers have been all but forgotten despite filling the same role, but often better.
On the one hand you’re right, but on the other I feel like a lot of stuff has become browser based (like text editors, code editors, even music editors and perhaps video editors someday), all thanks to Web Assembly and how complex a lot of web apps have become.
It feels like people use everyday stuff through apps, and more complex stuff through browsers nowadays. Roles may slowly invert at some point if it keeps going this way.
Browsers are very capable and can do a lot of things really well, but you can also use ad blockers, and they have some privacy protection. Apps dont
Everything that should be an app has become a web page and everything that should be a web page has become an app
Even the things that have become apps are often done in something like Electron, so even when it’s not a browser, it’s still a browser.
Oh my god this is perfect. That’s exactly the state of things.
Because a lot of websites still look and function really bad on mobile devices, and a lot of people nowadays only have mobile devices.
Pornhub works fine on a mobile browser, or so they say
I can nether confirm nor deny that. I just know a lot of places do not work.
Because it’s usually a better experience.
Hard disagree. Having everything in one browser app and switching between tabs is much faster than switching apps. If it’s something that does more heavy lifting like a game or file browser or something sure it makes sense to have an app but just consuming content can be done in a browser just as easily.
I can’t even figure out how to open an app on my computer. I can do it on my phone, but the keyboard and screen on there is tiny.
Also to make it harder for minors to access it or accidentally come across it .
Well, guess we got to close down Google.
Those restrictions should be on the device the minor is using and not the websites themselves.
That is also true
Advertising is the big one. Many companies simply don’t want to advertise anywhere where porn is present even if it’s segregated.
Payment processors is the next big one. Most processors won’t service porn sites which makes it hard to collect money for sites with porn. You get stuck with worse service and higher rates.
Legal compliance is another big problem. Lots of countries have lots of different laws and operating a porn website can get you in trouble in places you weren’t aware of if you aren’t careful. You need to verify ages, and consent of both users and models. In some countries simply looking younger than 18/whatever age can be a problem.
Overall if a site has mixed content, it can be much less hassle and much more income to drop the porn if there’s sufficient non-porn content.

How is it any harder?
giggity
Competition is so cutthroat. If you started a new porn service today there would CSAM on your servers tomorrow.
Would it be actionable? Diubtful. Not to say it isn’t happening out there but these incidents are largely competition playing dirty.
I base this on nothing. Welcome to the internet.
I guess you assume it would allow user submissions to reduce costs? If it was curated or first party content only I can’t see how that would happen. But I’m sure the profits are worth spreading and enabling csam.
Obviously this is not competitive, because the mainstream has decided the cheapest route is worth the consequences. Unless there’s regulation I don’t see it changing.
I claim you are completely wrong. You clearly have no idea what you are talking. Based on my feelings, so I’m right.
I am actually the world leading exper in being wrong and nuh uh
i firmly believe your statement is wrong, so THERE
Edit: i meant your statement about being: world leading expert in being wrong
I have a PhD in being correct
Edit: PhD is the highest degree I know about it’s like x infinity but for education
Edit2: not Xfinity
And I am the world leading expert in yuh uh, so there.
Because people don’t want to look at other people’s unusual niche kinks and try to identify if it contains children or other non-consenting participants as a part of their employment. And then try to explain to the people about why the unusual niche is against the rules when they receive a complaint about its removal. Amongst so many other reasons.
Programs and apps on the internet are not simple things and user-generated content can be a very malicious and dangerous thing to have a copy of. The legal risk alone is not worth it, let alone the effort required to enable a slightly easier masturbatory experience for total strangers.
Please put the NSFW tag on the post.
Then we can talk about the good stuff.
no, then it would be too easy for op to access
i support the freedom to consume porn, but i still believe its bad. sorta like alcohol
“consuming porn” sounds more perverse than it actually is somehow
maybe bc it is?
eating Playboy and Penthouse magazines
Because it is. Porn does weird shit to your brain.
So does thinking anyone cares about your opinion on the internet, gives a person a serious case of “holier than thou” syndrome
No? Porn addiction’s harms are already proven just look it up.
By that logic we should call it consuming religion instead of practicing it. Not saying too much porn doesn’t change your brain, but too much religion changes it way more.
That’s… kinda uh… linguistically messed up?
Found the Republitard
“Having sex with people is bad” - totally not a conservative incel
strawman argument. having sex with human which you love is obviously way different than watching porn. both can be done in excess, as with anything. the difference is that porn is manufactured to make money off you, to keep you addicted, like a social media. a meaningful relationship is mutually beneficial.
people are entitled to have their own opinions on this, and by all means do what you want when its not affecting anyone else. but much like a drugs, people can become unhealthily addicted. a bit here and their isnt that bad im sure, but when your watching porn every few days, you should ask yourself what youre doing it for, and if youre still in control
