Fun fact, you can actually tell how the economy is doing based off sex workers tips and income. It’s actually more reliable than any other financial marker.
Source?
Sex workers, obviously.
Has that been proven yet? I thought we needed to wait for the outcome of the state of the economy in the next little bit.
That stripper predicted the start of economic decline but until we can see if there’s an economic boom after their most recent tweet I don’t think we can say that it’s a fact yet.
Where do we find this information?
Strip clubs, apparently. The slower the work, the more likely the economy is about to start hurting as it’s (apparently) one of the first things people stop doing to save money.
The big Mac scale was made obsolete by the apple scale… which is superseded by the sex scale… Which actually makes sense, because you get a good dataset from a wide community of users… it’s not limited to people who eat McDonald’s or buy apple products. Inherently, “sex” or sexually focused material is a commodity that interests a broader community.
First GW OC poster to post an image of herself (sorry boys) naked holding a can of beans is going to melt this place down faster than KBins backed up queue.
So it’s beans now? I’ve seen a post or 2. Sure fuck it I’m down.
“Dude I’ve been here since the beans” coming in a few years
I think it started when someone said that Lemmy users would upvote a can of beans.
#knowyourmeme
It’s actually still flying around the All feed right now lol this was far
I went to go upvote it (it’s still there in “all”) just because you mentioned it.
A lemming in the truest sense of the word.
Mee Too thanks, I should dye my hair flourescent green.
Which someone called out as guerilla marketing - cause apparently you Yanks have baked beans as a traditional 4th July food???
I think baked beans are more of a BBQ item and July 4th is also a big BBQ day. Baked beans and bbq go way back :)
I was there.
… I mean… I did 🤷
“Psh, that’s nothing! I’ve been here since the 3-day no poop challenge!”
Luckily it preceded the beans
The difference on being here one week before of after the APIcalypse.
Not gonna lie I’m feeling like a veteran with my June 1st sign-up date.
And what a lot of people fail to realise is that Lemmy had been going for much longer than that. The point at which it really took off was when The Rock did some wrestling with another wrestler in a wrestling ring. In 1990.
I was expecting shittymorph.
It was a shitty shittymorph.
You’ve got it all backwards. It was in 1998 when The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer’s table.

I created a new account today to help the lemmy.world instance load. So now I look newer than I really am but that’s fine since who gives a shit.
Title had better be something about Flicking the Bean’
So I tied a can of Heinz to my belt, as was the style at the time…
Bean gang
Hm, I don’t know, I’ve seen a lot of them post pictures of themselves not pooping and no one is upvoting the meme.
I’m struggling not to do it. But I’m old and wrinkly.

Went from poop memes to beans 😂
Gotta recover that fiber.
I keep referencing a joke one of my friends made years ago. He was joking with a guy saying they should gangbang his girlfriend in a bathtub full of baked beans. Understandably, the guy didn’t get the humor in it and things got pretty heated. It’s been ~20 years and I still bring it up whenever I can.
Can’t wait for the onlyfans accounts that spam the same vanilla nsfw image into 50 different communities at once. /s
Can’t forget the same dumb title that’s usually something like “Do older guys even like 18 year old?”
Obviously girl, that’s why we’re all here and you have 400k karma with a month old account
“Feeling down cause someone said my boobs aren’t that great, what do you guys think?”
“I’m so shy” whilst she exposes her bare anus to the gods.
One time, you do it ONE TIME!
Anytime somebody initiates one of these self-negging comments in a bid for attention, even when it’s this “I’m a waste of space, I’m just an inconvenience to everyone”, type of stuff, I am sorely tempted to just passively agree; “Mmhmm. Yeah.”
Obviously girl, that’s why we’re all here and you have 400k karma with a month old account
what’s karma?
Karma is a consolation prize for a rubbish api.
whats api?
Also the classic “my boyfriend said my boobs were too big.”
No he didn’t. Literally no one ever said that.
The reality: My girlfriend said my moobs are too big.
I’m guessing those are automated posts with titles from a list
Actually I might.
That’s how you know you’ve made it 🥲
So the typical E-whoring scheme and people are fine with it? LOL

Nothing wrong with them making money. If people wanna pay for it, good for them.
They’re wasting their money on something they could have for free, but it’s their money to waste 🤷.
I mean, wasn’t the thing differentiating OF vs regular stuff the idea you can actually make requests and stuff (for the smaller creators, at least)
OF models Ruined all the porn subreddits. It went from sources material to some chick having a seizure for 8 seconds hoping you will give her money.
And spamming all the subreddits regardless of how relevant they were with the same shitty advertisement.
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.
I can’t agree more.
Where is this porn located so I don’t accidentally stumple upon it? Thank you so much.
Oh, my God, that’s disgusting! Naked pics online? Where? Where did he post those?
One of those disgusting revenge porn websites, I don’t know.
That will get you banned from just about every instance. People are really looking out for each other right now.
Just fyi, that was a joke. It’s a reference to a movie, not a big one (I haven’t seen it myself) but that line is pretty much used as a meme (albeit an obscure one I guess).
But to your point, that’s a nice thing that we can still have some decency and just have “regular” porn without having to deal with the revenge one!
It’s actually a reference an episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (S07E08 - The Antisocial Network) - https://youtu.be/Fg6JzoCEWx8
Any other places I should avoid?
Lemmy dot nsfw
I think most of it is on lemmynsfw
Is that different than stumbling upon it? Cause you’re gonna wanna do that.
Just remember how quickly Tumblr fold after they started banning porn.
Don’t ever underestimate the power of horniness in which large part of the internet runs on.
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.
The piratebay has been running since 2003 - 2023 on the clear web. Thats how hard it is to take down a website when done properly. With the few times its been down and/or raided thats still 99.99% uptime.
The Pirate Bay is a very unique case because:
- Hosting costs are very low due to the inherent nature of torrenting. It’s essentially just an index of magnet links used for downloading torrent files. Apparently the whole TPB directory could fit on less than 100MB of storage. They don’t actually host any of the illegal content they provide.
- They’ve hosted the site on multiple cloud services, which law enforcement would have to play an endless game of whack-a-mole to truly dent.
- Sweden are notoriously lenient on piracy and copyright infringement. TPB’s founders only faced a year in prison and a hefty multi million dollar fine when they went to trial.
- United States authorities are very unlikely to get the Swedish courts to extradite these individuals, because their 1960 extradition treaty is quite strict on what offences one can be extradited to the USA for, and the only mention of piracy on there refers to the maritime kind. Compare this to how easily Kickass Torrents was taken down and how the Polish authorities nearly got its founder flown out to the US to face trial.
- The hosts not only provided the knowledge to but outright encouraged others to host mirrors/proxies of the website to get past DNS censorship.
- There are ways to detect CSAM which makes it a lot easier to track down and lock up individuals who access it. Another big difference is that producing, distributing, and even possessing CSAM is seen as a far more heinous crime against humanity than downloading a pirated movie copy.
TLDR: there are three things that could survive a nuclear armageddon: cockroaches, Keith Richards and the Pirate Bay.
Comments like these where the reason I joined reddit, glad to see more here.
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…
Do you have a source on that? It doesn’t smell right. Every platform (All of them. Every single one. No exceptions) that allows user-submitted images/videos has an issue that some of that content is illegal. CSAM is the most obvious, but not the only one. What made Tumblr different from the 20 million+ instances on Facebook? Source1, Source2 At the time, scrolling through r/All for just a few minutes was nearly certain to show something pornographic, although not CSAM.
The story I heard (admittedly, I’m having trouble finding a source at the moment) is that Tumblr’s tools to remove CSAM weren’t good enough. While they would remove the offending image when it was reported, they did not delete the connections to other users/groups. Which meant it was easy to find more, even after some had been removed. In turn, that meant that it quickly became the platform of choice for anyone uploading this stuff, creating a higher volume and ratio of illegal content.
While I know Apple has long been anti-porn, it seems unlikely that they would take such an arbitrary hard line while ignoring countless others.
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 will die on the hill that blu-ray won over HD-DVD purely because the PS3 could play blu-ray and the Xbox 360 couldn’t play either. Blu-ray players were crazy expensive when the PS3 came out, to the point that the PS3 was the cheapest blu-ray player when it came out.
Probably helped, but it definitely got accepted at a quicker rate because of porn.
Porn industries only chose blu-ray once it was already in the PS3. Out of all the HD-DVD players and blu-ray players on the planet combined at the end of the format war 10 out of 11 were PS3s. Also not to mention that almost everyone backed blu-ray and it was the objectively better format. It held 40% more information and was backed by the biggest media companies. On top of the fact blockbuster went blu-ray.
Honestly it’s very tiresome that everyone says that porn did it when you can look at the facts and see that the war was won by blu-ray from the start and that most porn content was available on both formats for a long time, basically guaranteeing that it couldn’t have affected the outcome. Like I get that “haha porn funny” but it clearly wasn’t the deciding factor, and arguably not a factor at all. Like any cursory look into the history dispels the myth immediately which makes me wonder why everyone feels the need to parrot it as if it’s fact.
Cool, thanks for the info. I didn’t do enough research.
I don’t think he was saying porn was the cause though, was he? If HDDVD had won, it still would have gotten porn on it as a demonstration of its victory.
It’s a common myth that porn is the reason for the victors of the various format wars, idk if he was saying that or just alluding to it.
I could’ve sworn HD-DVD had more porn studios backing it. But it was also the time when professional commercial porn was dying as a business.
Also early home video recording equipment! (The precursors to which were developed by the military.)
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.
Dude right? You scroll a bit, read some shit, laugh at some wit, and then there’s a tit. It wa perfect.
The shit.wit.tit frequency index. A true measure of the health of a social media site?
It really is the best fit.
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.
Yeah, it’s difficult to scroll Lemmy on the bus to work because of all the boobs. I still want NSFW posts, just not necessarily boobs.
“I’m fairly sure if they took porn off the internet, there’d only be one website left, and it’d be called ‘Bring Back the Porn’”
Do we have a scrubs community yet somewhere?
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.

One of my required classes in college had a day where the professor just talked about all the times porn determined the newest media distribution standards.
What was the class?
Coomer 101
I came here to laugh, and masturbate
Best porn so far is on lemmynsfw.com
Have you checked out PornLemmy?
i wouldn’t leave reddit for years because i knew that the severe lack of niche communities that only reddit has would eventually engender regret and seeing 2 full porn dedicated fediverse instances completely bereft of anything besides vanilla and/or straight porn is the first time i’m feeling that regret.
fortunately reddit has managed to act like a big enough asshole this time to force to me to stay this course.
There were some decent adult and sw-centric mastodon instances, including one hosted by https://assemblyfour.com/, but they have declined and mostly gone offline.
thankfully, it’s just porn so i need it like i need another hole in my head. plus: it’ll make that content a little bit sweeter if i ever see it again.
i appreciate the info nonetheless, thanks.
Saving this whole thread for further analysis.
Where on that instance is the porn? All I’m seeing on the front page is SFW pics of celebrities in their respectively named sublemmies.
You have to create an account
And enable NSFW posts.
You don’t even have to create an account just hit communities. But creating one makes it easier because you can just browse.
Creating a local account shows it, thanks! I’m not super used to how the fediverse works yet.
PornLemmy shows you nsfw right off the bat.
Ok now I can really spend my fee time here
And your not free time!
I prefer hentai over thots
I miss r/wholesomehentai and r/hentaisource. There were a lot of chill and helpful people there. Been waiting for a anime/hentai instance to pop up in the fediverse
Make it and they’ll cum
based
This is the quality content I cum here for…
Disgusting! How to find these accounts so that I dont accidently subscribe ?
It’s pretty easy. Just don’t go to lemmynsfw.com. hopefully, we’ll get a way to
subscribe toblock all communities on another instance with a single click at some point to make this easier.I don’t get the point of that entire instance; it’s all clothed celebs and pseudo celebs. Shit’s mild.
edit: I see, there’s more stuff once you register, I’m a dummy.
NSFW communities don’t show up by default. You can create an account on that instance to view all of them, or visit https://lemmyverse.net/communities to search for your specific interests.
create an account on that instance
I was told I could create an account anywhere on the fediverse and it wouldn’t matter, I’d see everything. If I need to create an account every time I want to see some booba, that’s not very seamless. Can I not just subscribe and see it on this lemmy.world account?
This is all very confusing coming from the one-account-one-site “everything just works” of reddit.
Have you tried allowing NSFW posts in your settings? Assuming lemmynsfw.com hasn’t been defederated from your instance, then the posts will then show up.
You don’t necessarily need an account on lemmynsfw.com - you would just need an account to browse NSFW on their homepage. But you can see and interact with all their communities from your current instance.
Just search for the communities while on lemmy.world - for example !porn@lemmynsfw.com or !boobs@lemmynsfw.com or whatever. You can click on those.
Just make sure you have “Show NSFW” enabled on your profile settings
Now some instances like lemmy.ml decided to block (defederate) from lemmynsfw.com so YMMV
lemmynsfw isn’t federated with most instances, that’s why. And really, most people had a porn alt on reddit anyway, so they’re used to it
I think you have to be signed in to see the NSFW stuff. Clicking the link above will take you to the instance site, logging you out. I think you need to search the instance url in Lemmy to go there from your instance?
You’re right, I’m a dum-dum. It’s still all fairly soft-core.
I mean, I wouldn’t put !cumsluts@lemmynsfw.com in the softcore category. Is mediumcore a thing?
Edit: nsfw, obviously.
Maybe don’t go to https://pornlemmy.com it’s a silly place.
It seems it’s not federated to this instance. pasting !pornlemmy@pornlemmy.com in the search bar doesn’t find it.
EDIT: Oh the irony, The Link above works. The search doesn’t
It’s absolutely disgusting subscribes
I’m subscribing just to report the content for nudity
meh, for me the gonewild crowd peddling their OF accounts and the inevitable thirsty interactions are a sign of a falling porn quality index, really wish something could be done about it. but in one thing you’re right, reddit is done.
If it’s worth the time to advertise to, it has to have value of some sort. Even if the QOTP Index isn’t real there definitely is one for advertiser willingness.
First you start with the porn. Then they will cum.
If you watch it, they will cum?
What kinda field of dreams is this? Oh field of creams… ew.
Field of Wet Dreams, perhaps?
Based analysis
Yo can someone sauce me the furryporn sub links (asking for my neighbors friends aunts step sister)
Do we still call Lemmy communities “subs”? Anyway also hmu with those links
Best to call them “subs”, so that lemmings and kbinists can use the same word for what is essentially the same thing.
What else would be call them? Comms? We’re not writing out “communities”. We’re way too lazy for that.
They are coms, and nsfw are cums.
commies? hardcore social(ism)
They’re actually called “slutty magazines”
I like to call them Sublemmies :)
