    Please don’t let /c/asklemmy become like /r/askreddit, which had half of the front-page posts being the same sex related questions every month.

    “Women of reddit, what non sexual thing that guys so makes you horny?”

    “What is the sexiest thing you regret doing?”

    “How many cocks have you sucked while your cat judges you while waiting for you to feed it?”

    It was bullshit.

      i think it’s the wrong direction to try to police questions but instead empower users with the ability to filter by text or flairs

        Gotta admit though, it was pretty cool when that subreddit simulation bot generated an askreddit thread titled something like “Redditors of Reddit, what’s the biggest mistake my mom makes in bed?”

      Let’s all agree to actively downvote posts like that. Even if you don’t vote normally, you have to do your part and always downvote those posts so they don’t become popular.

      I don’t know why the mods of r/AskReddit still accepts these kind of posts when it would be more appropriate to do an NSFW r/AskReddit (if it doesn’t already exist).

        It did exist, just never stopped people from posting in the non NSFW one. It’s a popular thing because people are always horny is the issue. Flairs and filters are the ideal solution I think.

        AskReddit is big enough to include it all. Sure, there were tons of sex related questions, but there was also no shortage of any number of other kinds of questions that received hundreds+ comments as well.

        We’ll be waiting a bit before there’s a com/mag that’ll rival its size and potential for stories and mass anecdotes.

      Remember this classic:

      Ladies of Reddit - what is the most sexiest thing an overweight gamer has done that made you immediately want to have sex with him/be his girlfriend?
