This may be an unpopular option since I've already seen it across lemmy, but the ____porn communities. I'd like to browse pictures of nice landscapes or exotic cars without worry about someone around me noticing "PORN" on my screen.
At this point it seems very old internet, something that made sense when those communities were established, but now is unnecessary gratuitous and not socially acceptable.
I saw a post about a community created here called "pixel passport" which I thought was a hell of a lot better that "earth porn."
EarthPixels. CarPixels. PornPixels. HistoryPixels. This could work.
Those are great names! I would subscribe to more communities with names like that.
OnlyPixels sounds great, too, for a general community of nice everything.
Voat, when it was still around, had this same discussion and settled on using _Pix for everything.
What a wild site that was, some real loons were on it, but I did appreciate the fact it wasn't so overly moderated. At the end though it just felt like a sanctuary of hate that had driven out most of the sane people.
I really like that name. Way better than Earthporn. Thank you for sharing, I subscribed!

Indeed. I like 'Earthporn' too, but I think it should be all nature pictures that look like genitalia and suchlike. Rocks or trees that look like penises for example.
Damn, I had forgotten how obnoxious that was on Reddit. Blocked all of those years ago because it was just unnecessary and a gross way to qualify otherwise unremarkable photos.
It never bothered me per se, but it's definitely awkward to come across some chapter of human suffering on r/HistoryPorn.
Hey, me too.
These subs lost all value years ago when they just became karma-laundering fronts.
Couldn't agree more. It sucks to try to bring someone to a new platform and go "you love decorating right? Then check /r/roomporn! No no, it's not porn I swear... Sigh"
Nothing like someone peaking over your shoulder and seeing you're browsing r/AnimalPorn....
I totally agree with you. Hopefully lemmy can be a little more mature with community names. (Yeah, yeah.. I know the hypocrisy of my username.. It's my gamertag)
I agree. I think it's terrible name, and ti just invites unnecessary drama.
Do you mean actual NSFW content or things being called “_____ porn” like “unix porn” or “fight porn”?
not op but they mean the latter
There is (was?) a ”nosillysuffix” sub that would aggregate all those *porn subs.
I agree, but I also think that porn should still be welcome here. The issue is there needs to be better control over it entering the feeds, not that the communities themselves should be abolished.
I think the above commenter is referring to stuff like EarthPorn or FoodPorn or UnixPorn
Oh duh I always hated the names of those subs. The only thing worse are subs like InterestingAsFuck and NextFuckingLevel which always gave the same vibes as a Watchmojo video.
no. fuck you.
Oh, that's because those subreddits were literally astroturfed and the mods were shills making money off of the products being shown off.
he is referring to subs like foorporn/cableporn etc. which are not actually porn
I've tried a couple apps and it looks like they're trying to at the very least not have uncensored porn on your all feed. So that's a step up.
On Lemmy? I block multiple porn subs a week that are popping up on my feed. It feels relentless to me.
I agree on the names, but I'm really missing that kind of content. The ________porn communities from Reddit were a treasure trove of stuff.
Unixporn?
We have a completely separate instance dedicated for NSFW. So that may be a reality
That and the unnecessary profanity.
Subs like nextfuckinglevel. It just seems so immature.
Funny you say that cause I've been here less than a day and already have seen more porn in All than I ever did on reddit's /r/all.
Wait till you hear how much I learn and engage with the world in r/animetitties
I sometimes block them within the app. I use Liftoff.
