Those are probably just newbies. My Reddit account is about 12 years old, and Lemmy right now reminds me of the good days of Reddit. It's ramping up that way.
I think it's great. Read about philosophy, memes, and get the occasional booba in-between. It's good Internetting.
Hilarious considering they are reddit refugees explicitly because of capitalism and the insatisble greed it stokes.
Honestly, if I was a capitalism defender, I'd go to Threads to be monetized by Zuck, but since I know zuck is a capitalist I know any niceties provided today will be pay/ad walled if the platform becomes popular the next time Zuck wants to stoke his quarterly growth/metastasis estimates.
There is no safe harbor to be had putting your faith in capitalists, only exploitation in the name of sociopathic, unquenchable greed. It's never enough, and when the chips are down and you participate, it will be taken out of your ass sooner or later.
It would be lovely if the capitalism cheerleaders could learn this through experience, but they never seem to, even after getting their ass kicked by it. Unless you hold significant capital (if you have to ask how much you need, you are not), you are not a capitalist, you are the capitalist's livestock.
Reddit refuge here. I'm super sad to see people trying to turn lemmy into reddit, this is our chance to make it better. Stop filling the new feed with reddit archive bullshit.
Secondly, I'm fine with the porn. I miss scrolling r/all and getting the surprise boob. Surprise boobs are the best.
Although I will say the furry community on lemmy is fierce. I've blocked like 40 communities and I'm still getting dog dicks in my feed. How many different communities do you people need?
I'm on lemmy.world and there's been virtually no NSFW content I'm seeing on this account. I had to create an account on lemmynsfw.com to be able to start seeing it. Hell, I have an Instagram account specifically to see NSFW stuff and I still find my feed filled with completely SFW funny animal videos, baking creations, and woodworking. The internet does not want me to give in to my vulgar proclivities.
People on lemmy.ml thinking we just really enjoy Mali.
It's actually been super refreshing to, generally, be able to say I am a Marxist-Leninist and not immediately get downvoted into oblivion. There are still some of the kneejerk reactions to the CPC, but even then people seem more willing to engage on good-faith even with disagreements.
Are they too dumb to uncheck the "show NSFW" button in settings? It was the same in Reddit idk. Can't do much about Communism, but at least the Lenin porn is blocked.
It's pretty rude to come into a new community and the first thing you do is complain.
Not everyone is as obsessed with avoiding communist thoughts as much as US-Americans. Deal with it.
As for NSFW: just switch it off.
I've been on Lemmy.world for about a month now and have hardly seen any porn at all. Not sure what these people are looking for that is getting them so much porn.
There are a lot of commies here. I don't particularly like them but that is there right and lemmy is not and should not be pro-censorship. If somepeople don't like them they should find an instance that suits you better.
One can hide NSFW content using Connect for Lemmy. Also using Connect, one can filter particular words in posts. I know the apps for Lemmy are young, but if we Redditors will have a teeny look around, we can find a couple of tools to help us. It may not be perfect yet, but give it some time.
I think I could count the number of porn posts I've seen in the last month on one hand. Where do they claim all of it is coming from? I wouldn't mind more porn tbh.
Porn? What porn? If I intend to.... do research, I return to reddit (since old reddit does not stop me from going to... research subs) and in all my time on lemmy.world, I have yet to see a single titty being shoved onto my front page.
Wound up creating a Lemmy account as well as this one. Still getting accustomed to it but it appears that, instead of relying solely on the mods to manage content, more control is given to the end user. As long as I can easily block trolls and other content I don't care for, I'm good.
.
On the other hand, where FB is concerned, you just can't make it go away. I'm stuck with that account because of events and messages but looking for work-arounds for both.
I don't mind the exposure to socialist ideas. What annoys me is that you can't discuss world events at all without tankie sealions spewing their unique brand of brain rot into every thread
I just want some quality right wing zontent, exploding heads is less shitty but not radical enough for me. I want some school shooter, Elliot Rodger, Brenton Tarrant, FBI watchlist content. Any recommendations?
Communism is no different from full-blown capitalism. I don't get why people choose I have to be a either capitalist or socialist. There are certain things that some elements of socialism can be good for, like having free healthcare. However, when it comes to the market, you want as fewer restrictions as possible without hurting the customers or companies growth, as that can be bad for the economy.
