        Reddit also pigeonholed their pornographic content.

        I see far more poen on Lemmy, especially with how much AI content is posted here.

          The day Lemmy has as much quality nsfw as Reddit or even oldschool Tumblr is the day I quit Reddit. Today is not that day :(

            I’ve had a lot easier time finding new porn groups here, but you’re right that the content mill over there is faster.

            After reddit sold their user content to AI groups and the obvious use of AI for moderation, I’m not interested in reddit.

            Shit, my last account was banned for reporting violent content written by others. They said I was abusing the report system lmao.

            Literally submitted 5 reports over the lifespan of the account (maybe a year or two old account, not that old). 3 were acted on, and the 4th one was on r/worldnews. The mods of the sub banned me from the sub, then reported it to the admins and had me banned from reddit.

            That site sucks ass, I’m hoping to find a better maintained forum, but it’s a pain in the ass nowadays.

            Either pure corporate bullshit or some tyranny of lunacy.

        I’d say the fact that they banned porn says about as much about tumblr as having the above poster’s enmity says about them, so I’d go with an even 50/50 on this one.

            they banned porn because they were bought out by the owners of wordpress, and the kerfuffle with credit card companies suddenly refusing payments on pornhub had just happened. the stated reason was so they don’t step in some unseen controversy and get blackballed by mastercard, which is a bit prudish if you ask me.

              The main problem with porn is moderating it. Especially having to watch something to determine whether or not it’s csam. It’s easier to just ban porn. It’s a big hassle whenever your site isn’t supposed to be a porn site.

                and therein lies the crux of the issue. lots of folks who were around before the porn ban would argue that the smut was integral to tumblr’s identity; that the tumblr we have today is just a shadow of what it once was.

                  Wasn’t it a cesspit akin to twitter? I heard that tumblr is actually decent nowadays.

                    in my experience tumblr was actually a lot better about separating the smutty tags from the general ones for a fandom.
