    Porn and piracy.

    Just remember how quickly Tumblr fold after the banned 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.

            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.

            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.

        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.

      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.

            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.

        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.

            What occurred to me is you could have an account on a no porn instance which doesn’t allow access to porn instances, perhaps that may be an answer.

            That’s interesting. My blocklist is almost exclusively german communities (because I don’t speak german) I see zero porn on my feed and I haven’t quite figured out why. I know sopuli.xyz doesn’t allow porn but I don’t get why I’m not seeing it from other instances either.

      My lemmy page was already covered in weird fucked up hentai and drawn stuff when I signed up. I’ve had to block communities one at a time, just to have non-pornographic NSFW content.

      I would agree if Onlyfans creators put even a shred of effort into their content. Most of all it is just them sitting in front of a camera for a few minutes.

      They aren’t making money by making porn, they are making money by fostering parasocial relationships with people desperate for intimacy.

      Most of them anyway. And no, I never subscribed to any, I pirate it. And the noise to content ratio is like 99 to 1.

        Where exactly does one pirate OF content? Just curious so, you know, I can stay away from that website or something.
