This may be an unpopular option since I've already seen it across lemmy, but the ____porn communities. I'd like to browse pictures of nice landscapes or exotic cars without worry about someone around me noticing "PORN" on my screen.

At this point it seems very old internet, something that made sense when those communities were established, but now is unnecessary gratuitous and not socially acceptable.

There is (was?) a ”nosillysuffix” sub that would aggregate all those *porn subs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nothing like someone peaking over your shoulder and seeing you're browsing r/AnimalPorn....

I totally agree with you. Hopefully lemmy can be a little more mature with community names. (Yeah, yeah.. I know the hypocrisy of my username.. It's my gamertag)

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

I agree. I think it's terrible name, and ti just invites unnecessary drama.

I saw a post about a community created here called "pixel passport" which I thought was a hell of a lot better that "earth porn."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I really like that name. Way better than Earthporn. Thank you for sharing, I subscribed!

Indeed. I like 'Earthporn' too, but I think it should be all nature pictures that look like genitalia and suchlike. Rocks or trees that look like penises for example.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

EarthPixels. CarPixels. PornPixels. HistoryPixels. This could work.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Voat, when it was still around, had this same discussion and settled on using _Pix for everything.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Those are great names! I would subscribe to more communities with names like that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you mean actual NSFW content or things being called “_____ porn” like “unix porn” or “fight porn”?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

not op but they mean the latter

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Damn, I had forgotten how obnoxious that was on Reddit. Blocked all of those years ago because it was just unnecessary and a gross way to qualify otherwise unremarkable photos.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree, but I also think that porn should still be welcome here. The issue is there needs to be better control over it entering the feeds, not that the communities themselves should be abolished.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I think the above commenter is referring to stuff like EarthPorn or FoodPorn or UnixPorn
