Like am i missing out on big boy talk, gore, news etc that are adult ? Lemmy should seriously get a second filter like one that filters porn and the other that filters the rest if that is the case . Anyway what do you think ? Should news etc. be put behind nsfw ? I know i am straying far off the primary question but i am just talking casually and pulling it out of my ass as i go so thoughts ??
Edit : Is there any issue open in lemmy git for additional filters ??? If not can someone less lazy than me open one ?
It’s a little naive to assume there’s zero advertising on lemmy. Plus at some point someone has to pay to keep the lights on here, especially if we’re going to continue growing. Historically we have seen that users don’t like to pay for content and that advertisers will pay to be on the platform
Actually not. That is why it is de-centralized.
I mean we’re already discussing porn, so I’ll just point out most of the “gonewild” posters are just advertising their onlyfans. Do you think every single article posted here is done so with pure intention? Several of the popular apps for lemmy have banner ads. I hate ads more than the average person (in real life not on lemmy) and even I acknowledge that you’ll never escape them. Even when you totally ban them, they still will be present
I think we all know there’s going to be a few bigger instances that people use for lemmy and those ones will eventually resort to ads to keep the lights on. Historically, that doesn’t cause users to run away screaming and lemmy instances not federated with the most popular instances will face a tough uphill battle retaining users
Huh?
