There's no jailbait, no upskirts, no fatpeoplehate, so Lemmy is still better

Don't forget about all the gore subreddits like /r/WatchPeopleDie

I miss those. And eyeblech. I wish Lemmy had some of those.

I used to be against those, but then it kind of shifted for me with all the cartel videos. It brought to life the horrors of what they are doing to normal people.

While it’s not for everyone, that stuff does have its place. Reddit banning all those subs when the Christchurch shooting happened was stupid.

That was banned a while ago.

To be fair, we’re talking about Reddit ten years ago.

And when that was banned, we got eyeblech and NSFL__

no upskirts 🤣

you must have NSFW filtered.

There was a subreddit where people took upskirt creep pics of random women, not models. If that's happening somewhere on Lemmy I hope our instance is federated defederated with it. Porn is one thing but that was awful.

Edit: Goddamn spell check makes me sound like a fucking scumbag

Wow, I was there for the others but I wasn’t aware of an upskirt trend. If it’s what it sounds like, seems like a crime

"Consent" was not a popular topic on early Reddit. Or the internet writ large, I guess.

I think it got banned around the same time as the jailbait sub. Reddit was and is a cesspool
