This may be an unpopular option since I’ve already seen it across lemmy, but the ____porn communities. I’d like to browse pictures of nice landscapes or exotic cars without worry about someone around me noticing “PORN” on my screen.
At this point it seems very old internet, something that made sense when those communities were established, but now is unnecessary gratuitous and not socially acceptable.
Couldn’t agree more. It sucks to try to bring someone to a new platform and go “you love decorating right? Then check /r/roomporn! No no, it’s not porn I swear… Sigh”
Indeed. I like ‘Earthporn’ too, but I think it should be all nature pictures that look like genitalia and suchlike. Rocks or trees that look like penises for example.
What a wild site that was, some real loons were on it, but I did appreciate the fact it wasn’t so overly moderated. At the end though it just felt like a sanctuary of hate that had driven out most of the sane people.
Damn, I had forgotten how obnoxious that was on Reddit. Blocked all of those years ago because it was just unnecessary and a gross way to qualify otherwise unremarkable photos.
Nothing like someone peaking over your shoulder and seeing you’re browsing r/AnimalPorn…
I totally agree with you. Hopefully lemmy can be a little more mature with community names. (Yeah, yeah… I know the hypocrisy of my username… It’s my gamertag)
I agree, but I also think that porn should still be welcome here. The issue is there needs to be better control over it entering the feeds, not that the communities themselves should be abolished.
Oh duh I always hated the names of those subs. The only thing worse are subs like InterestingAsFuck and NextFuckingLevel which always gave the same vibes as a Watchmojo video.

I saw a post about a community created here called “pixel passport” which I thought was a hell of a lot better that “earth porn.”
I really like that name. Way better than Earthporn. Thank you for sharing, I subscribed!

EarthPixels. CarPixels. PornPixels. HistoryPixels. This could work.
Voat, when it was still around, had this same discussion and settled on using _Pix for everything.

OnlyPixels sounds great, too, for a general community of nice everything.
There is (was?) a ”nosillysuffix” sub that would aggregate all those *porn subs.

It never bothered me per se, but it’s definitely awkward to come across some chapter of human suffering on r/HistoryPorn.
Unixporn?
I sometimes block them within the app. I use Liftoff.

I think the above commenter is referring to stuff like EarthPorn or FoodPorn or UnixPorn

no. fuck you.
I’ve tried a couple apps and it looks like they’re trying to at the very least not have uncensored porn on your all feed. So that’s a step up.
That and the unnecessary profanity.
Subs like nextfuckinglevel. It just seems so immature.
