Why the hell is every app and program out there just being prude bitches and making porn harder to access?
Bro if you’re having a hard time finding porn on the Internet, the problem is you!
You are doing internet wrongly.
Advertising is the big one. Many companies simply don’t want to advertise anywhere where porn is present even if it’s segregated.
Payment processors is the next big one. Most processors won’t service porn sites which makes it hard to collect money for sites with porn. You get stuck with worse service and higher rates.
Legal compliance is another big problem. Lots of countries have lots of different laws and operating a porn website can get you in trouble in places you weren’t aware of if you aren’t careful. You need to verify ages, and consent of both users and models. In some countries simply looking younger than 18/whatever age can be a problem.
Overall if a site has mixed content, it can be much less hassle and much more income to drop the porn if there’s sufficient non-porn content.
What kind of gourmet shit are you hunting for?
Gourmet shit, obviously.
Scat Apps hate this one simple trick!
-> pornhub.com
-> xvideos.com
An adjacent question that you brought to mind, why are people so intent on using “apps” for everything. It feels as if browsers have been all but forgotten despite filling the same role, but often better.
On the one hand you’re right, but on the other I feel like a lot of stuff has become browser based (like text editors, code editors, even music editors and perhaps video editors someday), all thanks to Web Assembly and how complex a lot of web apps have become.
It feels like people use everyday stuff through apps, and more complex stuff through browsers nowadays. Roles may slowly invert at some point if it keeps going this way.
Everything that should be an app has become a web page and everything that should be a web page has become an app

Oh my god this is perfect. That’s exactly the state of things.
Browsers are very capable and can do a lot of things really well, but you can also use ad blockers, and they have some privacy protection. Apps dont
Because a lot of websites still look and function really bad on mobile devices, and a lot of people nowadays only have mobile devices.
Pornhub works fine on a mobile browser, or so they say
I can nether confirm nor deny that. I just know a lot of places do not work.
Because it’s usually a better experience.
I can’t even figure out how to open an app on my computer. I can do it on my phone, but the keyboard and screen on there is tiny.
Competition is so cutthroat. If you started a new porn service today there would CSAM on your servers tomorrow.
Would it be actionable? Diubtful. Not to say it isn’t happening out there but these incidents are largely competition playing dirty.
I base this on nothing. Welcome to the internet.
I claim you are completely wrong. You clearly have no idea what you are talking. Based on my feelings, so I’m right.
I am actually the world leading exper in being wrong and nuh uh
And I am the world leading expert in yuh uh, so there.
i firmly believe your statement is wrong, so THERE
Edit: i meant your statement about being: world leading expert in being wrong
I have a PhD in being correct
Edit: PhD is the highest degree I know about it’s like x infinity but for education
Edit2: not Xfinity
… and here I am, actively blocking porn or porn-adjacent shit on Lemmy.
Am I the only one who has seen absolutely no porn on lemmy ever? I haven’t had to block any but I would if I saw it. Where are you guys seeing this?
When you signed up, did you select “Show NSFW content?”
That might be it. I can’t remember but it would explain why I don’t see any porn.
It’s just a checkbox in your account settings. Either that or lemmy.world defederated from the porn instance, but I doubt that
I only ever see it on /c/all, and it’s relatively little and it’s all vanilla, single naked model, still photo shit. Basically as non-pornographic porn can get while still being porn (aka: OnlyFans ads and reposted Celeb shit).
I was here slightly before the exodus, and the most hilarious post-exodus post I saw was people saying “our lemmy porn is normalizing, we’re finally becoming a place open for normies”, where the OP was saying that the Furries were going away. The thing is: Furries were NEVER a sizable, noticeable presence on Lemmy to begin with. This isn’t Blueskies, the community isn’t suspiciously a bunch fo bara fur enjoyers. And they said that around the time Burggit opened up and being talked a bunch as the place to defederate, meaning degeneracy was going UP.
So basically, People who complain about Porn on Lemmy just confuse me. Tech, Sports and Politics shit are actual garbage that ACTUALLY floods the entire dashboard.
No
Everyone complaining about porn on lemmy is lying, there’s literally nothing here. they’re just ultra-conservative right-wingers who hate sex
Same, Its not that i don’t like porn but i got tired of blocking every instance of furry porn; like how many do you need?

I like porn. I’m a fan. But I’m with you on that. If I want it, I know where to get it. It’s not really why I’m here.
Also, it really ruins it for me that because it’s all user -contributed, it feels like being recommended porn by a creepy, off-puttingly thirsty highschooler. Given the demographics in places like this, that may actually be somewhat close to reality
that’s your choice, and that’s entirely fine. but it’s different when a platform deliberately makes it inaccessible.
Why? It’s their platform.
deleted by creator
It’s actually the exact same thing. It’s their choice.
Unless it’s a government mandate I don’t have a problem with platforms doing that.
I prefer platforms block porn, because a usable internet requires a basic level of organization so you can find what you want. Sometimes I’m not looking for porn
I can understand why a person has no interest in it and I personally don’t need to access it but I also don’t really care if it available. I do not become offended if it is available.
In reality I am far more uncomfortable with violent content yet they seem to get far less attention then porn.
It isn’t advertising friendly, that’s why. Also online children protection act or some such law.
Ads for penis enlargement though
Why isn’t it advertising friendly? Is there some reason getting someone to go to your website from a porn site or app is less helpful than getting them to go there from somewhere else?
Because people don’t want to look at other people’s unusual niche kinks and try to identify if it contains children or other non-consenting participants as a part of their employment. And then try to explain to the people about why the unusual niche is against the rules when they receive a complaint about its removal. Amongst so many other reasons.
Programs and apps on the internet are not simple things and user-generated content can be a very malicious and dangerous thing to have a copy of. The legal risk alone is not worth it, let alone the effort required to enable a slightly easier masturbatory experience for total strangers.
How is it any harder?
giggity
I see so much porn on this site lemmy alone… scroll by new and hot, and you find tons of it… it’s actually kind of annoying how often I see naked chicks and dicks and more on this site compared to others that do good at censoring it from the front pages…
Huh, I never see porn, but then I sort by the 12 hour thing.
Yeah, if I sort by new, or hot, I will get plenty of boob/vag images… not that I’m hating, I believe women should be able to post this is they want, but I also am not a huge porn consumer as woman myself… it’s just not my bag. Lol so it can be a little surpriseing to see full bodies after reading musk foiled Ukrainian plans, the Wisconsin GOP trying to impeach an elected (D) supreme court judge, and then bam! Crotch shot lmao 🤣😂

Because you’re a 13 year old perv and your parents have blocked porn for you.
Also to make it harder for minors to access it or accidentally come across it .
Well, guess we got to close down Google.
Those restrictions should be on the device the minor is using and not the websites themselves.
i support the freedom to consume porn, but i still believe its bad. sorta like alcohol
“Having sex with people is bad” - totally not a conservative incel
