No, I’m not talking about meta discussions like the ones in this community. I think the value and necessity of those posts is pretty apparent.
I’ve been noticing something this morning while browsing All on the instance: i am seeing are a lot of SFW celebrity posts occurring on the sever, along with a number of communities dedicated to an individual celebrity.
For example, I just saw a post to a Gillian Anderson community with a “headshot” type pic of her in a what I would call a regular dress.
What does the general community think of this type of content being posted to lemmynsfw?
My first feeling is “eh, whatever, live and let live. If you don’t like it, block the community/poster so you don’t see it.” But at the same time, I just blocked several communities and I’m still seeing more… it just seems weird to post a bunch of SFW content to an NSFW dedicated instance.
As an aside, I realize I can just browse Subscribed, but I like browsing All to discover new communities.
But you have to admit that even that workplace line is blurry at best right? A celeb in bikini, on the catwalk with massive cleavage, on a red carpet with a slightly risqué dress,… To me as long as there’s people finding it sexy, attractive, arousing… I’d say it fits in this instance’s theme. Everything else is purely up to taste and you’ve got the block community and subscription functionalities to tailor the available content to your taste. You’re already using those since I cannot imagine anyone existing who is into each and every single fetish that’s available on this instance.
Now if its the amount of communities that you have a problem with, then it’s a different discussion. Then I’d say it becomes more so about what we consider to be be spam creation of communities and what not, because mind you, for each community dedicated to a specific celeb, I can guarantee you there’ll be one for an adult actress as well.
In short, I think the discussion is much more nuanced than saying we’re just gonna blanket x or Y content because some people don’t consider it nsfw enough :)
Yup, I did already say we’ll start debating about workplace definition 😉, and the discussions are/will be very nuanced based on context.
I have no issues with comms for adult/porn models here as they are by intention NSFW, right?. The discussion here imo is mainly about communities that are overwhelmly SFW focused and the “costs” associated with hosting/maintaining them on a clearly NSFW instance.
As I said elsewhere, the “cost” argument doesn’t hold in my opinion. If I with my lemmynsfw account subscribe to /c/tractors on a completely different instance, that entire community’s content gets pulled to this instance anyways, so whether or not the community is created here or elsewhere, if there’s at least 1 user on this instance subscribed to it, it’ll create exactly the same cost on this instance, that’s just how the fediverse works…
