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.
@stephfinitely https://lemmynsfw.com/ seems like the place for porn on the fediverse, at least for lemmy.
While I appreciate information. I wasn’t looking for porn. Was just making a observation.
I still don’t know what kbin is and at this point I’m too afraid to ask
Let me play the grammar (linguistics? I don’t know) police here and seal the deal for kbin’s "here to stay"ness…
It’s per se, not per say.
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!
