    “Urgh. Racism in my porn app?”

    I love that over on Reddit most of the content is still coming from Xitter. The only change is that they aren’t posting direct links crediting the person who made it.

    What a half-ass way to boycott a site.

    The only problem I have with x alternatives currently (both Bluesky and Mastodon) is that my favourite r34 artists havent really switched plattforms :(

        kinda funny, early Redditors like me used to think 9gag was never good lol, kinda like ifunny, so this is kinda like that Legolas gimli meme where it’s like “never thought I’d join a 9gagger to fight for fediverse/anti corporate media” ya know?

          Zoomer content

          They’re the people that follow internet celebrities and drama so that’s what the content is geared for

          One was surprised I didn’t know random YouTuber just because they’ve been big “forever”

    I never understood people posting porn to microblogging sites. What’s the point of this? There are literally millions of other places to get porn already, it’s like what the Internet was invented for.

      But how else will you hear about all the little details of their daily lives on a regular porn site? The parasocial connections to your favorite porn stars aren’t gonna form all by themselves!

        You joke but the sad thing is that this is how OF content creators drum up the most business. They prey on giving lonely/intimacy challenged people some sort of subconscious feeling of hope and connection to someone else inside a screen. Why else would you pay for prawn? It’s literally free all over the internet.

      It’s usually there so people seek out the only fans / subscription content. Additionally for general exposure (ha!), likes and followers.

      i thought it was just women promoting their onlyfans like they do on Reddit and really any social media

      I’ve read that it used to be a great place for really niche stuff. BUT your point still stands because I’m really not sure why that would be. Maybe the interface or something lent itself to that well or maybe it just hit the right moment and took off.

        I think it’s because of the advertising system. Once you stumble onto one of them, you get the “content makers” retweeting eachother. It doesn’t cost them a dime to retweet someone else’s post, and if you retweet, you’re gonna get retweeted.

        I’m still convinced there are some women I know that have/had an only fans (because of sudden changes to living quality without job promotions or other new sources of income). But this system also benefits them, if it is niche stuff like feet for instance, you’ll never find them, and you’ll never know it if you did. If it’s “normal stuff” (good luck getting me to define that, I have no fucking clue anymore) most “content makers” hide their identities pretty well, and I’d bet money that there are unspoken agreements between them to assist in keeping it that way.

      There was a vibe to it before tumblr banned all the porn. Lots of actual real stuff that was made just because people wanted to without any intention to monetize. Just people having fun. But I’m not sure that exists anymore. I don’t think it was really efficient or anything but I guess if you’re just casually posting some anonymous nudes and share them with a bunch of people it would feel weird to upload that on pornhub.

    I keep it to quickly check service outages.

    Xbox, crunchy, Netflix, etc down? Check Twitter. If a bunch of people are talking about it. It’s down. If not then it’s probably a local thing with my ISP.

    So true. Two years ago I still used twitter for nsfw content, but even that got weird (and really suspicious sometimes).

    This is why we can’t have nice things.
