Why is porn not allowed on this site
(lemmy.ml)
Because we dont want to moderate porn, simple as that. Other instances are free to do this differently.
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.
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?
Do you really want more reddit porn users?
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.
Porn should be illegal. It destroys the meaning of sex. Porn is packed with human trafficking and exploitation. Porn wrecks one's brain.
I pray that porn becomes illegal.
while i don't necessarily disagree that porn can destroy the meaning of sex and wreck one's brain, i really would prefer the state stay out of my business. i think a better approach would be to provide education on how porn affects us and avenues to seek help should someone fall into an addiction. however, getting the state involved on what people can and cannot say is too much control for my comfort.
I understand your POV but porn is as bad as hard drugs (because it is). We clearly can't regulate it given how many children get sucked into it. So letting government block this isn't the same as government overstepping into other spheres of freedom.
Excessive freedom that hurts our species isn't "freedom" but a hidden addictive trap that hurts us on a multi-generational level.
"Porn is as bad as drugs" is a privileged opinion of someone who's never lost anyone to addiction.
Porn destroys families which in turn creates broken children that turn to drugs, including porn.
Suicide rate is high with men and their depression is fraught with addictions including porn.
You know what causes even more addiction to drugs than porn does? Fucking drugs do.
You know what destroys orders of magnitude more families than porn? Surprise! It's fucking drugs, again.
Addiction requires a cage being attempted to be escaped. Porn and drugs are similar in the sense of trying to escape some sense of personal hardship. Both porn and drugs are an effect, not the cause.
The fact that you use prayer for a social problem already tells me how wrecked your brain is.
