What?
What "what"?
I'm saying I find it baffling people use forums for porn, and in mu opinion, these people share qualities with people who walk around with shirts like this.
Would you be able to elaborate on those two points?
First of all, calling Lemmy or PieFed a "forum" is a stretch of the term, just like Reddit. Even so, traditional forums have been used for porn basically as long as they have existed. Reddit owes a ton of it's existence to porn. LemmyNSFW was a pretty big instance. It seems like a great platform for that content too. It's easy to split content into tags or specific communities. It's easy to host still images, text posts, gifs, full videos, pretty much anything you want.
Second, what qualities are you saying that people who use Lemmy for porn have in common with people who wear those kinds of shirts? Porn is pretty widely popular. Wearing tasteless graphic t-shirts is, in my estimation, a small sunset of the population of porn enjoyers.
By which weird definition? They are literally open forums.
Definitions from Oxford Languages
forum /ˈfɔːrəm/
noun
Yeah and it has always weirded me out. It's like those people who watch porn with their friends. Like supposedly heterosexual adult men spending their free time watching porn together? Idk man, you do you but it's not my cup of tea. No judgement. I just don't get it.
Yeah it's probably good for sharing images, but... do you have a hard time finding then yourself? The internet really isn't short for porn. Loads of sites are literally full of UHD quality videos of whatever you happen to be into.
And it's not like it's actually the creator posting stuff. >95% of the time at least it's someone horny posting someone else's picture and going "what do you like my so-and-so".
And you really can't argue that Lemmy is a good platform for sharing videos. It's just not. It's good for sharing links to videos, sure, but not videos in and of themselves.
I don't think I need to define vague associations my brain made when writing a reply on Lemmy. Hard to put a finger on it, but I'm sure you get the gist of what I meant.
