Fake news. Nobody actually uses light mode.

/s

Dark mode for mobile, light mode for desktop. I can't be the only one.

dark mode on OLEDs, light mode with near-minimum brightness everywhere else (except discord because somehow their light mode is just completely fucked up) because astigmatism

I did that on Mac when I was on Catalina, but I switched to dark mode when I upgraded to Big Sur.

I haven't used dark mode since it was the only option on the Apple II.

Black and green. What a combination of default colors.

Me, on lemmy.ml where the only trending communities are dead communities with 3 members created 2 years ago:

Let me guess:

The first one is „God is dead“ by admin „K_Marx“

The second one is: „Marx is dead“ by admin „God“

But can’t you be on lemmy.ml and follow all the interesting communities from other instances (which might be harder to find, though)?

The only instances that are blocked are porn ones, that's a thing I don't miss from reddit tbh, but the swear filter is really dumb. And doesn't really fucking filters swears, but it's really dumb regardless, since it's neither opt-in nor opt-out, it's just there.

This almost seems like if the “god fraction“ has won


I know that they had a “no porn” rule, but “no swearing” is new to me. Surely it will be a healthy family-friendly community.

I have no issue with some occasional nudes in my timeline. I could blur or filter it, if I would want to avoid this.

But porn in the web for me is an important part of the “freedom of expression”, therefore I find it anachronistic if some community tries to block / ban this.

Sure, but porn is so easily available that one only needs to explicitly look for it. Meanwhile there was a deluge of fetish communities appearing that every user had to block individually if they didn't want 10 fart fetish posts on their timeline, so it was a quality of life improvement to block those communities on the server level.

Of course you can get anything online if you go for it. But this kind of occasional nudes in my “all” timeline reminds me of the old Reddit days - and is quite nice as long as it doesn’t become too much.

So far I’ve never seen any fart-fetish community / post in my timeline tbh.

Well it wasn't really occasional at the start when lots of people started creating new communities, every day there would be a bunch of new posts from new communities appearing in All

before we had defederated from the porn server, I had blocked

-Diaper porn

-Gone wild

-One just called "porn"

-Hentai

-Sissy chastity

-huge boobs

-Celebs

-Yiff (ifkyk)

-Ass

-Anal

-General NSFW

-Femboys

-Lewd Games

-Rule34

-AsiansGoneWild

-Furry Chat

-Gay furry porn

-Furry Videos

-Petplay Yiff

-feet

-sapphic hentai

-sapphic art

-Sissies

-Hentai - BDSM

-GoneMild

-Grool

-GoneMildPlus

-Trans Hydro Hotties

-Blowjob

and at some point it's like, could we make porn opt-in instead of playing whack a mole with every niche fetish? Yeah there's an NSFW option, but that's more for hiding the images themselves, not ignoring the communities or servers.

I thought that was an exchange between Nietzsche and God, or it used to be. Anyway, I was unaware that the double low-9 quotation mark was even a thing so thanks for that.

"Alright, pussy, pussy, pussy! Come on in Pussy lovers!

Here at Lemmy we’re slashing pussy in half! Give us an offer on our vast selection of pussy, this is a pussy blow out! Alright, we got white pussy, black pussy, Spanish pussy, yellow pussy. We got hot pussy, cold pussy. We got wet pussy. We got smelly pussy. We got hairy pussy, bloody pussy. We got snapping pussy. We got silk pussy, velvet pussy, naugahyde pussy. We even got horse pussy, dog pussy, chicken pussy.

C'mon, you want pussy, come on in Pussy Lovers! If we don’t got it, you don't want it! Come on in Pussy lovers!"

Now that's just sad!

These people are pioneers in 3D animation. I once saw one of them animate a video of D.VA being spit-roasted with nothing but a potato and a box of thumbtacks

For real though. I swear, some of those animations are more detailed and well-animated then anything Pixar could produce.

Internet horndogs are undefeated

Porn drives technology. VHS beat Betamax because of porn. BluRay beat HDDVD because of porn. The internet is for porn.

Didn't they induce actual improvements to Blender code so that they could create these animations more easily and without having to use ruinously priced industry software?

As Larry David said "the college girls and the wild, the wildness, they're going wild or something, somebody told me about the wild..."

Well, Lemmy users lately are reddit users. These users have been doing their best to turn Lemmy into what they recognize from reddit. And as everyone knows reddit users are porn sick.

Even the ancient days of usenet were full of smut

I kind of miss those old Usenet days. Being 16 and waiting most of the night for a picture to load was great.

Back when I made sure to download the progressive JPEG, because loading single line top to bottom was hell. Unless there was a chance that the phone would be picked up, then I wanted regular JPEG, because then when I lost connection I still would have most of a picture.

You never knew what you were going to get.

In the early 90s, when I was a teen, I accessed the internet through the computer lab, downloaded tons of porn at a higher rate, uploaded the pics to local BBSes, got a huge ratio, downloaded tons of pirated games and had lots of porn. I was a genius back then. Not so much now.

Some days it would take ten whole minutes to download a handcrafted ascii art boob.

Legend has it that every new technology is first used for something related to sex or pornography. That seems to be the way of humankind.

Elon musk light mode is bad and has no right to exist me I can't believe I'm saying this but I agree

This is something typically American to be astonished by such thing or to talk about diversity all the freaking time.

Well yeah, I'd imagine there's not a whole lot of diversity talk from ethnostates

Isn't blacks (noun) considered dehumanizing?

what word would you use instead?

"African-Americans Gone Wild" or "People of Color Gone Wild " just don't seem to have the same ring to it, I guess. I'm pretty sure almost any other term you might use would be frowned upon.

Not all black people are African-American or even African or American, you know? I'd be way more irritated if someone called me African-American than black, since one of these is true and the other simply isn't.

Yeah, that’s why I added the “People of Color Gone Wild”, since the other isn’t really all-inclusive. Race is so weird to talk about in the US though, it’s like no matter how you talk about it as a white person, you’re stepping on somebody’s toes somewhere. It’s like we can’t even discuss anything without the terminology itself becoming an issue, which just sort of derails any other conversations you might be having. I get why the topic is necessary in some cases, but it feels like it needlessly complicated things at times.

"Russians gone wild." Russians? Why Russians, specifically? They're not even a clear ethnicity like the others. Is it the below freezing nipples?

Regular russians are already a trainwreck, so russians gone wild must be a sight to behold
