    Because we dont want to moderate porn, simple as that. Other instances are free to do this differently.

    Hard to moderate. Brings influencers and bots. Doesn’t contribute anything that can’t be easily found elsewhere.

      influencers

      Anything that can cut down on the ability to monetize a platform is worth it.

    I don’t use reddit for p0rn, but the fact is that a lot of reddit users won’t consider lemmy an option unless there’s porn.

    Actually, I think it’s important to have one also because it’s better to compartmentalize that shit on its own dedicated instance, anyway.

    PSA: WE NEED A PORN INSTANCE. Any takers?

        The porn would be on it’s own instance not federated with the common Lemmy servers. So it wouldn’t show up in /all.

        Those who want porn would have to actively seek it out by connecting to those instances. More over, if one instance starts allowing unacceptable material, the other instances can blacklist it.

        edit: I was wrong. Lemmynsfw is indeed federated.

          Would be even better if the porn instances started federating, two horny instances federating might make another instance and then that’s how children are made.

      So far Reddit seems to have avoided getting into a lot of trouble by not really hosting images itself much (this is changing, as is imgur’s policies) and by being mostly NOT for it so it doesn’t get noticed. Making an instance for the purpose invites a ton of scrutiny and liability that few people want to deal with. That said nothing’s stopping anyone from spinning up their own instance.

      Mastodon was for a while flooded by p0rn and hentai with some very edgy content. That was ridiculous. It was a reason why I left mastodon in the beginning.

      My salutations to @nutomic and others mods, that’s a crazy idea to provide an open access platform.

    Because that would end up making a good portion of potential users feel uncomfortable using the site. There is no lack of pornography on the Internet, go look at it elsewhere.

    Because we don’t want to watch this crap.

    p0rn is not lacking of any “internet” space. Why would you want to put it everywhere.

        Exactly. Is it too much to ask to see consensual picture shared by age appropriate people on their own volition? I guess this is why we can’t have nice things.

          Usually its anime girls that are actually older than they appear.

          Fun fact, that’s a condition that actually occurred to a girl in real life, she looked 12 and visibly didn’t hit puberty, she was 20.

            By age appropriate, I mean people older than 18. That seems to be the exception rather than the norm.

              Most things I’ve seen were 18+, if only to skirt by the laws. I haven’t seen much though so I may be completely off, but that would seem a little illegal otherwise.

    Many of us do not want porn, so it only makes sense that porn goes into specific instances that people who do not want porn can block out. It’s a freedom of choice thing.
