Porn has always been a driving force of new technologies. While Kbin isn’t a new technology per se I would say it’s a indication that the community is here to stay.
Reddit is inevitably going to reign in porn use as part of the IPO rollout… that’ll be the day the site truly dies
Amateur porn being posted here similar to how it was on /r/gonewild will be the true indicator of whether the community chose this site over others.
Yeah, the real metric is that none of them are the onlyfans spammers, but the real content creators (even nsfw ones).
There’s been some discussion about it on gonewild@lemmynsfw.com, and the users seem to be in favor of banning anyone who does any sort of selling, even if it’s just in their profile. I think that’s the only way to combat it.
I don’t really understand why banning someone who sells NSFW (OF for example) without spamming it is a thing.
This post seems like a good reminder for everyone that people can see who upvoted, downvoted, and boosted any post and comment by clicking “more” and “activity”.
Do with this information as you will.
Between this and the requirement for email address at registration I find the lack of privacy on kbin/fediverse a bit curious. I don’t see why such a feature brings value, but at the same time I guess it’s more for a technical reason. The list of users who upvoted need to be saved anyway and as it’s decentralized anyway anyone can read it. Just wished it was hashed instead, or replaced by some digital signature.
I’m only guessing, but I assume email is likely to help cut down on spam bots. Maybe? (Someone do tell me if that’s wrong. I wouldn’t mind learning something!)
I know some users here say seeing who upvotes promotes transparency. Maybe you’re less likely to upvote some hatespeech if you’re attached to it and not doing so anonymously. Which then means it gets less traction and the user feels less welcome. Which curbs it.
But then privacy is important, too. There’s nothing wrong with me going to the adult store and buying a gimp suit for myself with the Anal Blaster Master 3000: Destroyer of Rims vibrating dildo pack. But I also don’t need my neighbors or family to know. Just like I don’t need people to know I upvoted that really hot video of a man smearing chunky peanut butter on his incredibly hairy chest as a girl tries to lick it off.
I’m sticking around for now and seeing if things either change (like if the users for upvoted etc get hashed or something for example) and how things end up feeling in the long run with or without those changes.
The pervs have spoken. The lewd mags have been lit! Boners call for aid!
There is porn here? I won’t believe you unless i see it for myself…
…got a link? ;o)
