Be it Lemmy, Mastodon, or some other instance on some other service.
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
Haven’t actually seen a lot of weird stuff yet, let’s bring on the weird stuff
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.
I’ll start with a mild one: https://youtu.be/6QFwo57WKwg
Booooo, it’s age restricted and I never managed to age-verify my youtube account.
thanks for sharing this, music was a vibe, animation was bizarre but i liked it
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.
Maybe I remember that sub through rose tinted glasses but i dont remember it hating people for being fat. The negative traits being hated on were things that fit a stereotype that happens to exist among people who are more likely to be fat.
Its probably good it doesn’t exist anymore, there were some really well written stories though, it was like the bad roommates sub.
Humbling; Absolutely!
It also desensitized me and at the same time, made me super anxious driving on two-lane roads or seeing people speeding. So I had to just stop looking at it.
Thats it though, if everyone watched some of that when they start driving maybe they would be more careful. Probably good for some and bad for some.
Like in the machinist world its good to see the videos and pictures of the accidents.
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 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.
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.
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.
Uhh you seem like you haven’t actually looked. There’s all sorts of amateur stuff on Pornhub and my personal favorite, Spankbang. I’ve got some pretty niche interests, too.
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.
And they will keep popping up time and time again if we don’t ask the admins to ban them. Write a message to https://lemmy.world/u/lwadmin and explain your viewpoint in a couple of words.
