I’ve not been here long, but I’m curious how users who were present before the reddit drama feel about any potential changes to the content and tone of discussions.
It used to be much more dominated by the tanky rethoric of the devs, and most discussions were around FLOSS/Privacy. Now it’s much more diverse.
Also, lots of porn. I kinda wish it were possible to completely block instances as a user. If I understand it’s on the roadmap.

I’m using Liftoff and although I’ve got NSFW filter enabled I’m still seeing porn, lots of it.
Is this just a lemmy.world thing? I’m on ml and I never see any of it
i have to block the same NSFW communities on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works
lucky that the blocking navigation is quite simple on liftoff.
Interesting. I’ve heard a lot of people complaining but never seen any of it. I have NSFW filters off on the site and on Memmy. Kind of thankful I don’t have to go through any of the blocking
Jerboa can block NSFW.
I actually hasn’t see any porn when from the browser… Only when I decided to download an mobile app I got flooded by a lot of NSFW… I wonder why… Maybe the lemmy.world itself doesn’t have much porn, but what is “hot” and “active” in other instances it is? That explains why going directly in to https://lemmy.world/ they doesn’t show up.
I think NSFW content is fully hidden by default, but then it depends on your app/account config.
I don’t want to fully block it because some NSFW is not porn and is worth seeing.
can’t see any porn here on lemmy.world
You might have disabled NSFW. But I don’t want to fully disable it as there are some NSFW posts that may not be porn which may be worth seeing.
How do you disable it? I have tried on in the settings but doesn’t seem to work. It just blurs it.
Do you normally browse all? I just browse subscribed - and this isn’t a problem for me. “All” is a measure of what’s popular, and porn is popular.
Yeah but right now I want to discover the new communities.
While there is some bad, overall it had genuinely changed for the better. There’s a lot more diversity in the kind of people here and the kind of content posted. It used to be a lot more dominated by Tankie nonsense.
Gettin’ hot in here. Remember Rule 1 people!
Got my first explicit scatological DM from someone with no fewer than three actual slurs (n-word included) in their username yesterday, from the lemmy.world instance (yes, my instance), so that was “fun”. I’ve also seen the same sort of posts, from the same sorts of users, elsewhere in comment sections. Fun times.
I know it’s kind of getting bad here for people who like don’t want to say slurs
I saw the r-word two separate time on one post and thought that was unusual.
The memes are way better and hitting real good these days.
OK, I’m going to lock this post. People obviously didn’t get the message from my previous comment.
Yes it’s full of liberals now this used to be a leftist safe zone. Soon they will be mods and any dissent will result in permant ban
Edit: libs proved me right so fast check those salty replies bet they even Reported me. Healthy discussion involved some heat love y’all
He said long time not “joined 12 days ago”
This is hilarious and probably true.
Are you talking lemmygrad leftists or real leftists?
Libs downvoting you but you have a point. All the users in this thread whining about “tankies” have accounts created since June lmao.
Eh… Instances are like countries and federations are like Alliances. A leftist safe zone still exist and they federate only with like minded instances.
I prefer to think of this as the liberal safe zone and the rest of lemmy as leftist, as it has been for years before lemmy.world exploded from the massive influx of reddit refugees
That’s actually what’s happening. As an og Lemmy user from chapotraphouse days it kind of bizarre seeing Lemmy world get libified
ALSO would your solution be ONLY leftist mods, would they be any more or less likely to quash dissent and perma ban whatever they don’t like?
My experience is that most extremely ideologically driven communities tend to devolve into the same heavy-handed moderation tactics. I think this happens because it’s easier to imagine that the ends justify the means, and because small minority communities that are far from the larger consensus viewpoints are going to have issues with relatively large number of outside users coming in and wanting to debate or denigrate the fringe ideology.
Nah let people fight
