Why would you "ask for a friend" as if the question is porn-related?
It’s a joke my friend.
And unfortunately like a frog in biology class when I dissect the joke it’s going to die, so here we go:
Parent comment made it sound like it was very basic knowledge of Lemmy to block bots and because I didn’t want to appear dumb I added the ‘for a friend’ even though I intended that it was obvious I was asking for myself.
The failed attempt at misdirection should have been humorous.
Should've asked for your dog.
Oh I know it's a joke. But now that we're here dissecting it (don't take me too seriously :) ):
The problem with the "don't want to appear dumb" premise is that if your friend is asking, and it's common knowledge, then you can simply give the answer to your friend because you're supposed to know the answer already. There is no need to "ask for a friend."
With porn, though, the premise is not lack of knowledge, but to appear nice and clean. If you ask directly "hey what's the link to that ass-to-elbow video?" you'll feel ashamed. But if "your friend" is asking, then hey, you're just the messenger.
Anyway. That was fun to type!
