There is a write up somewhere about this but I can't find it right now...
There is a mastodon instance that bans the letter "e" https://oulipo.social/ it's basically a writing exercise and challenge.
In response, https://dolphin.town/ is born. Where you can only use the letter "e", even usernames.
Edit: found the write up! It even contains a brief interaction between users from both instances! https://interconnected.org/home/2022/07/12/folktale
This is what the internet is for.
How adorable and weird. This is what I love most about the internet!
that interaction is wonderful lmfao
Haven't actually seen a lot of weird stuff yet, let's bring on the weird stuff
The Fediverse: either leave now or stay and get weird! lol
I've been down the depths of the weirdest parts of the fediverse, and as someone who was on the internet in the 90s: it's tame af. Just like the whole internet nowadays.
Just for some context, uncensored pictures of decapitated children used to show up on the front page of reddit and that wasn't even "the weird part" of the internet.
Lemmy catchphrase:
βLetβs get weird!β
"Lemmy get weird" is right there though!
It's just a matter of time til Dragons Fucking Cars comes around.
I haven't looked around. I don't want to run into another Space Dicks, 50-50 or Watch People Die.
I thought space dicks was pretty funny until it went full on Nazi dog whistle sub.
When I first found it, it was just memes using porn. I never saw any mutilation on there like I'm seeing some people saying. O.o
It eventually became a racist cesspool though, which is what got it banned.
Hello. Would you mind explaining 'Dragon's Fucking Cars' and Space Dicks? I dare not even incognito mode google them...
Space Dicks was a sub where men would post photos of their dicks. These were no ordinary dicks though, they were heavily altered. Like a dick flayed open like a split hotdog, crazy piercings, implants... it was just not a pleasant sub to stumble upon.
DragonsFuckingCars is literally crude drawings, illustrations, animations, and 3D renders of dragons having literal intercourse with cars.
Spacedicks. I don't even know if that sub still exists. I'm not even searching if it is.
But, there was like really graphic, NSFL gore and weird Porn on there. I remember one was the aftermath of a teen in Brazil that kicked a bus tire and it blew off his leg and he was just agonizing on the floor, with bone and flesh dangling from whatever was left of his shin. And that was one of the "mild" ones.
I've ran into some furry stuff on Mastodon while browsing the federated timeline.
Nothing that an update to my filters and an eye scrubbing didn't solve.
...with steel wool. (Actually there are much worse things to unsee)
Bring back SpaceDicks!
Oh dear god no. I forgot about that sub.
Lol..I was.talkingnabout spacedcks the other day.. my audience couldn't believe I had so much to say about it π€£
Wow, that took me back!
ππ
Clop, or even fancier... SpaceClop.
I turned off NSFW entirely after wondering what the most recent nsfw community in my feed was. I saw one 'sissyboy chastity' ....yea time to turn off nsfw.
Uh oh. Those NSFW communities are working fast lol
I'm blocking each and every one of them, and just wait for the day when any app comes with a filter by instance instead of by community. I don't get the appeal with porn on social media when there are free websites entirely dedicated to it, in better quality, and with more frequent updates.
Because it's NOT better quality, it's all spray tanned caked on makeup fake moan noise factory produced bullshit. Or it's onlyfans.
Forums and the like are the only place to find actual amateur content that people are posting because they enjoy it rather than as a job.
Seriously, I'm so sick of all the porn communities showing up in my feed. I block them and more keep popping up on my feed. It's like a game of whac a mole, I don't want to see your butt hole Lisa.
Connect can do this
burggit.moe, nsfw instance. Went there because some of the stuff I'm into had been banned from lemmynsfw, but...yikes. They go a little too extreme into some areas for me aye.
Jfc what are you into that's banned on the official nsfw?? lol
Not gonna lie I kinda take a peek at that instance...
...I reserve the right to remain silent lol
the official nsfw??
lemmynsfw.com is NOT the official in any way. It's got questionable content that got them defederated with lemmy.ml , which is run by the devs that coded Lemmy.
So, uhh, what is the official one? Just asking for research purposes...
In the fediverse, there is no official anything. Besides lemmynsfw.com, the only other one I know of is pornlemmy.com.
Agree, and they've allegedly banned some of their most extreme communities.
It's now the officially only instance mine has defederated from. Disgusting creeps.
I had the exact experience with the same instance.
~~I can't find it now~~ (found it, check comment below), but when I first learned about peertube, i found my way to this strange, almost otherworldly video. Everything was blurry and dark, and the sounds of tearing fabric were ever-present. I have no idea what it could have been, but it had this distinct feeling like I shouldn't have been watching it. I think about it every now and again.
Update, through some hardcore scouring, I did find it. You can watch it here. A friend I was talking to said it might been an AI-generated thing, which would make sense, but I'm not certain. Checking the profile, they've only uploaded this one video, and they seem to have a bandcamp with no real information about themselves or why they've made this, but they've got a few other audio-only tracks that are kind of similar, only much shorter.
This thread right here, full of people discovering people different from them put things on the Internet and some of them are weird or gross
Is there a WTF yet? Or a fifty/fifty?
A very right-wing Mastadon server when I first started searching for anyone else on Mastadon in my state (US South East). Scary, scary place.
Ah, /c/Florida on exploding-heads? Me too. Fuck em
Probably that one com where that guy hates his wife.
The political scene has some confused reactionaries who call everyone else a reactionary. Maybe not weird but very prominent
