First GW OC poster to post an image of herself (sorry boys) naked holding a can of beans is going to melt this place down faster than KBins backed up queue.
So it’s beans now? I’ve seen a post or 2. Sure fuck it I’m down.
“Dude I’ve been here since the beans” coming in a few years
I think it started when someone said that Lemmy users would upvote a can of beans.
#knowyourmeme
It’s actually still flying around the All feed right now lol this was far
I went to go upvote it (it’s still there in “all”) just because you mentioned it.
A lemming in the truest sense of the word.
Mee Too thanks, I should dye my hair flourescent green.

… I mean… I did 🤷
Which someone called out as guerilla marketing - cause apparently you Yanks have baked beans as a traditional 4th July food???
I think baked beans are more of a BBQ item and July 4th is also a big BBQ day. Baked beans and bbq go way back :)
I couldn’t help myself🤷♂️
“Psh, that’s nothing! I’ve been here since the 3-day no poop challenge!”
Luckily it preceded the beans
The difference on being here one week before of after the APIcalypse.
Not gonna lie I’m feeling like a veteran with my June 1st sign-up date.
And what a lot of people fail to realise is that Lemmy had been going for much longer than that. The point at which it really took off was when The Rock did some wrestling with another wrestler in a wrestling ring. In 1990.
let me enjoy my july 1st sign up
I created a new account today to help the lemmy.world instance load. So now I look newer than I really am but that’s fine since who gives a shit.
I thought I was cool with my June 15th 😔
“Which is now on day 225”
Same now we need the only fans, no poop challenge, holding a can of beans then we will have it all.
So I tied a can of Heinz to my belt, as was the style at the time…
Oh yeah?! Well I’ve been here since the poop. Betcha can’t top that!
Title had better be something about Flicking the Bean’
Or “dude I’ve been here since the 3-day no-poop challenge”!
Bean gang

Hm, I don’t know, I’ve seen a lot of them post pictures of themselves not pooping and no one is upvoting the meme.
I’m struggling not to do it. But I’m old and wrinkly.
I keep referencing a joke one of my friends made years ago. He was joking with a guy saying they should gangbang his girlfriend in a bathtub full of baked beans. Understandably, the guy didn’t get the humor in it and things got pretty heated. It’s been ~20 years and I still bring it up whenever I can.
Can’t wait for the onlyfans accounts that spam the same vanilla nsfw image into 50 different communities at once. /s
Can’t forget the same dumb title that’s usually something like “Do older guys even like 18 year old?”
Obviously girl, that’s why we’re all here and you have 400k karma with a month old account
“Feeling down cause someone said my boobs aren’t that great, what do you guys think?”
“I’m so shy” whilst she exposes her bare anus to the gods.
One time, you do it ONE TIME!
…bare, prolapsed anus.
Anytime somebody initiates one of these self-negging comments in a bid for attention, even when it’s this “I’m a waste of space, I’m just an inconvenience to everyone”, type of stuff, I am sorely tempted to just passively agree; “Mmhmm. Yeah.”
Obviously girl, that’s why we’re all here and you have 400k karma with a month old account
what’s karma?
Karma is a consolation prize for a rubbish api.
whats api?
Also the classic “my boyfriend said my boobs were too big.”
No he didn’t. Literally no one ever said that.
The reality: My girlfriend said my moobs are too big.
I’m guessing those are automated posts with titles from a list

Nothing wrong with them making money. If people wanna pay for it, good for them.
They’re wasting their money on something they could have for free, but it’s their money to waste 🤷.
I mean, wasn’t the thing differentiating OF vs regular stuff the idea you can actually make requests and stuff (for the smaller creators, at least)
That’s how you know you’ve made it 🥲
OF models Ruined all the porn subreddits. It went from sources material to some chick having a seizure for 8 seconds hoping you will give her money.
And spamming all the subreddits regardless of how relevant they were with the same shitty advertisement.
Tbh that whole instance should have a rule about 0 self promotion to paywalled and/or abridged content without a link to the full source for free as well. It’s really anyone to have any links stifled because he OP is an onlyfans model. If you wanna post here for advertisement, you better put up or shut up.
I can’t agree more.
Disgusting! How to find these accounts so that I dont accidently subscribe ?
Just remember how quickly Tumblr fold after the banned porn.
Don’t ever underestimate the power of horniness in which large part of the internet runs on.
That dead woman called Tumblr is still walking with a healthy strut these days, also soaking up some displaced Redditors. Horny shit is slowly but surely returning to Tumblr’s fields, as well.
Tumblr illustrates the problem with porn in general, they didn’t shut it down for no reason, they shut it down because the pedos had decided to use it as a dissemination portal for their vile shit, and the structure of Tumblr made it difficult to moderate away, especially at scale. Thus, Apple threatening to pull them from the app store, for good reason. All they could do was go scorched earth on porno.
So that’s the issue we’re going to have, here, and I’m not sure if the “some guy running an instance for the fuck of it” model is prepared for it.
The key difference with lemmy is, if that one instance is the one disseminating cp, they get defederated, and so removed from the other normal users, and then if the instance doesn’t shut down, LEO gets involved. The other normal porn-hosting instances can operate business as usual.
Law enforcement would probably shut down such instances faster than the rest of Lemmy could collectively defederate them.
Hosting such stuff on the clear web is basically asking for a joint FBI, NCA and other major law enforcement agency raid on your premises.
I don’t know, law enforcement can be pretty slow. I definitely see a few cease and desists happening before any real action, and as soon as that starts, the sane instances defederate.
Regardless, the point is, they get taken care of in one of a multitude of ways.
The piratebay has been running since 2003 - 2023 on the clear web. Thats how hard it is to take down a website when done properly. With the few times its been down and/or raided thats still 99.99% uptime.
The Pirate Bay is a very unique case because:
- Hosting costs are very low due to the inherent nature of torrenting. It’s essentially just an index of magnet links used for downloading torrent files. Apparently the whole TPB directory could fit on less than 100MB of storage. They don’t actually host any of the illegal content they provide.
- They’ve hosted the site on multiple cloud services, which law enforcement would have to play an endless game of whack-a-mole to truly dent.
- Sweden are notoriously lenient on piracy and copyright infringement. TPB’s founders only faced a year in prison and a hefty multi million dollar fine when they went to trial.
- United States authorities are very unlikely to get the Swedish courts to extradite these individuals, because their 1960 extradition treaty is quite strict on what offences one can be extradited to the USA for, and the only mention of piracy on there refers to the maritime kind. Compare this to how easily Kickass Torrents was taken down and how the Polish authorities nearly got its founder flown out to the US to face trial.
- The hosts not only provided the knowledge to but outright encouraged others to host mirrors/proxies of the website to get past DNS censorship.
- There are ways to detect CSAM which makes it a lot easier to track down and lock up individuals who access it. Another big difference is that producing, distributing, and even possessing CSAM is seen as a far more heinous crime against humanity than downloading a pirated movie copy.
TLDR: there are three things that could survive a nuclear armageddon: cockroaches, Keith Richards and the Pirate Bay.
Comments like these where the reason I joined reddit, glad to see more here.
Not quite how it happened.
Yahoo banned porn on Tumblr because Apple found a CSAM image on their platform, banned their app from the App Store, then as a condition for unbanning the Tumblr app, issued them an ultimatum to outright ban pornographic content. I originally thought that Yahoo’s justification was an excuse they used because they couldn’t be bothered to invest the resources needed to purge illegal content from their platform, but apparently Discord have been hit with similarly puritanical demands from Apple and Google, who basically have a monopoly on what apps go on your smartphone,
Nevertheless, Tumblr’s porn exodus is the core reason why Yahoo sold the platform to Automattic for pennies compared to how much they originally acquired Tumblr for. It even sparked a renaissance of lewd artists flocking to Newgrounds - a site that was originally on its knees due to the death of Flash animations and browser gaming.
It’s also worth noting that Automattic have since partially dialed-back the ban. Nudity is allowed on Tumblr again, but graphic sexual content isn’t. Obviously they did this in direct response to Elon Musk enshittifying Twitter. Another reason I think Tumblr is living on is because it was known for three things: porn, niche fandoms and social justice warriors. Musk has notably burned bridges with any Twitter users who oppose hate speech.
God forbid if Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai find out there’s porn on Reddit…
Do you have a source on that? It doesn’t smell right. Every platform (All of them. Every single one. No exceptions) that allows user-submitted images/videos has an issue that some of that content is illegal. CSAM is the most obvious, but not the only one. What made Tumblr different from the 20 million+ instances on Facebook? Source1, Source2 At the time, scrolling through r/All for just a few minutes was nearly certain to show something pornographic, although not CSAM.
The story I heard (admittedly, I’m having trouble finding a source at the moment) is that Tumblr’s tools to remove CSAM weren’t good enough. While they would remove the offending image when it was reported, they did not delete the connections to other users/groups. Which meant it was easy to find more, even after some had been removed. In turn, that meant that it quickly became the platform of choice for anyone uploading this stuff, creating a higher volume and ratio of illegal content.
While I know Apple has long been anti-porn, it seems unlikely that they would take such an arbitrary hard line while ignoring countless others.
“I’m fairly sure if they took porn off the internet, there’d only be one website left, and it’d be called ‘Bring Back the Porn’”
Do we have a scrubs community yet somewhere?
When I browse “all” on here, there is the occasional tiddy in between. I appreciate that. Reddit’s r/all was so much better when nudity wasn’t purged from it.
Dude right? You scroll a bit, read some shit, laugh at some wit, and then there’s a tit. It wa perfect.
The shit.wit.tit frequency index. A true measure of the health of a social media site?
It really is the best fit.
Can I 100 % ban all porn from my feed? I feel like people aren’t obligated to flag their porn stuff so how can it be filtered?
Probably not yet. Hopefully better tagging and filtering features could be implemented in the future, right now the devs are understandably busy with performance optimization however. Third party apps might be able to filter better client-side, too. Blocking entire instances for example (like lemmynsfw.com).
If you want porn gone from your All feed right now you have to manually block subs that allow it. It is possible, but will be tedious. You can turn off NSFW completely on your profile, but that also filters out non-porn NSFW posts of course.
Edit: your Home feed will be clean as long as you don’t subscribe to any subs that allow porn. But that doesn’t give you the chance to find new subs like on All.
Yeah, it’s difficult to scroll Lemmy on the bus to work because of all the boobs. I still want NSFW posts, just not necessarily boobs.
The internet is for porn. Don’t make me link the video proving it.

This one, from like 20 years ago. :)
One of my required classes in college had a day where the professor just talked about all the times porn determined the newest media distribution standards.
What was the class?

I came here to laugh, and masturbate
Technology has more or less flowed with the proliferation of porn. VHS (over Betamax), bluray (over HD-DVD), online payments and other Internet features rose to prominence because pornographic content helped spearhead their adoption.
I will die on the hill that blu-ray won over HD-DVD purely because the PS3 could play blu-ray and the Xbox 360 couldn’t play either. Blu-ray players were crazy expensive when the PS3 came out, to the point that the PS3 was the cheapest blu-ray player when it came out.
I don’t think he was saying porn was the cause though, was he? If HDDVD had won, it still would have gotten porn on it as a demonstration of its victory.
It’s a common myth that porn is the reason for the victors of the various format wars, idk if he was saying that or just alluding to it.
Probably helped, but it definitely got accepted at a quicker rate because of porn.
Porn industries only chose blu-ray once it was already in the PS3. Out of all the HD-DVD players and blu-ray players on the planet combined at the end of the format war 10 out of 11 were PS3s. Also not to mention that almost everyone backed blu-ray and it was the objectively better format. It held 40% more information and was backed by the biggest media companies. On top of the fact blockbuster went blu-ray.
Honestly it’s very tiresome that everyone says that porn did it when you can look at the facts and see that the war was won by blu-ray from the start and that most porn content was available on both formats for a long time, basically guaranteeing that it couldn’t have affected the outcome. Like I get that “haha porn funny” but it clearly wasn’t the deciding factor, and arguably not a factor at all. Like any cursory look into the history dispels the myth immediately which makes me wonder why everyone feels the need to parrot it as if it’s fact.
Cool, thanks for the info. I didn’t do enough research.
I could’ve sworn HD-DVD had more porn studios backing it. But it was also the time when professional commercial porn was dying as a business.
Also early home video recording equipment! (The precursors to which were developed by the military.)
I’m not sure that’s a valid comparison. Tumblr was overwhelmingly porn, which was its biggest selling point. The only thing dumber was when OnlyFans tried to ban hardcore porn (Fortunately, I guess, they saw the light pretty quick and relented)
While Reddit always had porn, it was never the primary draw.

Where is this porn located so I don’t accidentally stumple upon it? Thank you so much.
Oh, my God, that’s disgusting! Naked pics online? Where? Where did he post those?
One of those disgusting revenge porn websites, I don’t know.
That will get you banned from just about every instance. People are really looking out for each other right now.
Just fyi, that was a joke. It’s a reference to a movie, not a big one (I haven’t seen it myself) but that line is pretty much used as a meme (albeit an obscure one I guess).
But to your point, that’s a nice thing that we can still have some decency and just have “regular” porn without having to deal with the revenge one!
It’s actually a reference an episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (S07E08 - The Antisocial Network) - https://youtu.be/Fg6JzoCEWx8

Fun fact, you can actually tell how the economy is doing based off sex workers tips and income. It’s actually more reliable than any other financial marker.
Source?
Sex workers, obviously.
Has that been proven yet? I thought we needed to wait for the outcome of the state of the economy in the next little bit.
That stripper predicted the start of economic decline but until we can see if there’s an economic boom after their most recent tweet I don’t think we can say that it’s a fact yet.
Where do we find this information?
Strip clubs, apparently. The slower the work, the more likely the economy is about to start hurting as it’s (apparently) one of the first things people stop doing to save money.
The big Mac scale was made obsolete by the apple scale… which is superseded by the sex scale… Which actually makes sense, because you get a good dataset from a wide community of users… it’s not limited to people who eat McDonald’s or buy apple products. Inherently, “sex” or sexually focused material is a commodity that interests a broader community.
Can we all vote this as the official measure of a successor of sites like reddit.
The council has spoken!
I second this.
It sounds very scientific
Oh good, can’t wait for my feed on here to be absolutely slammed with porn bots. We made it, boys.
My porn account’s front page is already full of it. My regular account on a no nsfw instance sees no porn
Seeing as we are both alt porn users, if I disable NSFW on my main, will it show me non porn NSFW? There’s a community called uncle jokes and a lot of their posts are marked NSFW. And I don’t wanna miss them.
I don’t have an alt account yet but my blocklist is about 50+ communities long now, so much porn already when you sort by new on all.
What occurred to me is you could have an account on a no porn instance which doesn’t allow access to porn instances, perhaps that may be an answer.
Just turn off NSFW in your user settings
Ahh, okay. When I next the chance I’ll figure out the blacklist and put most of lemmynsfw and pornlemmy on there.
That’s interesting. My blocklist is almost exclusively german communities (because I don’t speak german) I see zero porn on my feed and I haven’t quite figured out why. I know sopuli.xyz doesn’t allow porn but I don’t get why I’m not seeing it from other instances either.
I’m on wefwef and I can’t figure out how to blacklist communities
There should be a block button once you go into said community
I don’t think it differentiates unless Lenny devs implement two types of nsfw tags.
I had a feeling it’d be like this. Thank you for confirming.
You can disable NSFW post’s from showing up entirely.

My lemmy page was already covered in weird fucked up hentai and drawn stuff when I signed up. I’ve had to block communities one at a time, just to have non-pornographic NSFW content.
Let’s workshop it.
PQI: Porn Quality Index
Index of Cumming Quality, ICQ. Then us olds will feel even more old.
In other news, apparently ICQ is still a thing.
Uh oh!
Oof, I DO feel old now
Good. At my work there is another term for PQI. I can use this one nicely.

So the more quality of porn falls down, the more active sites become… Understood.
This guy subscribes to OnlyPaws
I think they mean quite the opposite 🤣
As a former sex worker: no, he’s right. Reddit porn had only been good before OF and shit.
I don’t think so 😏
Whether OP meant it or not, he still said it. Porn is really low quality when it’s a bunch of OF bot spam. But… It is more popular.
The higher the QPI the more people.
You aren’t wrong with this theory. It’s why betamax and hd-dvd lost too
Oh fuck, i completely forgot about betamax and HD-DVD. Back in Uni I wrote a 20 page paper about failed formats. I sent my first draft to my professor for feedback. He called me in and asked “Have you thought about porn?” I bet my facial expression must have been priceless.
That’s a myth. Betamax lost because it couldn’t record long enough. Movies had to be on two tapes. By the time they finally extended the time VHS was already dominant
Also licensing out the VHS format to 3rd party manufacturers also played a not insignificant role in beating Betamax. More conpanies making more VHS machines won a lot of the battle.
So it’s twice as difficult to hide your porn on betamax then VHS?

A common myth but untrue
Now this is redditing. Nothing like posting a wrong answer to get the correct one. But also, some random youtuber? I’m going to need far more evidence before I throw away decades of wisdom
Technology Connections isn’t just some random youtuber. It’s a guy who can make an hour-long video about a cheap fridge and make a million views in a week.
He fills a similar niche as James Hoffmann, just with general tech instead of coffee: Fussy in all the right places.
Technology Connections is the bomb.
Ha, what’s a reddit?! 😉
Somebody already pointed out technology connections is a good source and how rigorous his research is but I wanted to ask what your source was that you were referring to as decades of wisdom?
Did you mean you heard it decades ago and repeated since but it was just rumour or “common knowledge” of the time? I ask because I find your answer, and similar, frustrating. I would wager you didn’t watch the video at all since you dismissed it out of hand and are steadfastly sticking to your guns (though I could be wrong) but you don’t offer any reputable source as a counter, just that you heard it decades ago and probably repeated by many people who have no other knowledge than they heard somebody repeat the same incorrect factoid many times so it has become wisdom. Like daddy-long-legs being the most venomous spider in the world but can’t pierce human skin, or ostriches putting their heads in sand, etc etc - all made up/incorrect but repeated frequently enough and never fact checked so understood to be true or equates to decades of wisdom that people “cite”
Can’t watch. Already got my 3 ad block videos in. (/j)

Betamax may have been higher quality, but the fact is that consumer TVs of the time couldn’t display the difference in quality.
Classic Tropic Thunder scene.
I was one of the five people who owned the HD-DVD player for the Xbox 360 🫡
I don’t like porn, and I don’t want to see it, but I’m glad it’s come here since it can bring more people in (like Reddit’s porn communities)
