I still check this place regularly, but don't really post much stuff because I'm on meds that kinda make it hard to get frisky. I also still post somewhat regularly using my sfw account.

Honestly it's a shame that Lemmy didn't take off as well as we hoped it would, but at least everything is in place for the next time Reddit shoots itself in the foot. Special shout-out to the people regularly posting content to communities even though they don't get many responses.

Hey. I know I've not been posting much, but I still lurk around here.

Honestly, the past few weeks for me have been filled with anxiety over "purges" of adult content and similar, so it's been nice to find a place such as this which is friendly towards it. I know that there has been a few pretty bad incidents here in the past, and I can see not wanting to continue the site because of them, but I hope you do. And if you do shut down the site, thank you for running it while you could.

With regards to the lemmy.ml issue, I've been getting sentiments across the lemmyverse (mostly from .world) that they aren't worth interacting with. Mostly because they are very blockhappy towards anything that disagrees with their political views. Honestly, personally I'm perfectly happy with using Yiffit to only browse Yiffit communities. Like I said, it's nice and cozy here, and we can always make accounts on more general purpose instances if we really need to.

I wouldn't take it personally, to be honest. A lot of these downvotes are from people on other instances who just downvote furry stuff as a matter of policy, everything here gets one or two downvotes. The things that stay downvoted tend to be those that are on unpopular communities where people just don't see them.

And yeah, it does suck and feel bad.

Oh my god. You're wearing a suit that, I assume, absorbs moisture like a sponge.

Why would you lean against the space between two urinals?

I like "Giffit".

Pronounced "Yiffit" of course.

(I also assume everyone has seen that meme).

So, in a comment that is now lost to time, I mentioned frustration at Lemmy not having an instance block feature.

Decided to check, and it looks like it's actively being worked on https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3869 .

Doubt it'll help with defederation (since we are mostly a porn instance after all), but would be good for the common yiff fearing user.

I know I shouldn't engage, but you are right. Not everyone wants to see furry porn on their all feed. And as a moderator of a porn community I'd like to have the ability to say "you know what, I'd rather posts be unlisted and not appear in the all feed". Maybe even if I were running my own instance I could block some of the more riskier communities.

But none of these tools exist yet, unlisted posts and per-user instance wide blocklists would be really nice features. If you don't like this sort of content, you could just mute yiffit.net and go on with your life.

There are two established major porn lemmy instances, both of which are blocked by lemmy.ml. If they saw this as a problem IMO they should implement instance blocking as a priority. But they haven't, and decided that blocking access to people is the better option. The situation is getting super frustrating at this point.

Honestly probably not that surprising considering they seem to be very anti-porn and I think are the only major instance to actually block you from looking at NSFW content (which makes me wonder how porn got there in the first place, did someone forget to tag something?).

For better or worse, I'm kind of glad that lemmy.world emerged as the big superinstance rather than lemmy.ml, they seem to be a bit more generalist.

I mean, it feels like a healthier outlet compared to like alcohol, drugs or getting mad at people online, tbh.

And yeah, I like the idea of just turning my head off and letting someone take control.

/uj For what it's worth, as someone who posts quite a bit of stuff there, I also wish full instance per-user blocks were a thing. I like that stuff, but I understand some people don't and rather not force furry tiddies on them. ;_;

/rj But yes, certainly avoid yiffit.net if you don't like that sort of thing. :P

Edit: To those wondering if their instance is blocking it, afaik lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works do not. You can check the instance list at the bottom of the page. Or I guess check if you can see this comment, since my account is on there.

You also won't see furry porn if you have nsfw off in the settings. Or if you don't linger in r/all for too long (there's only like 5 of us posting regularly, it's easy for it to get drowned out).

To their credit, in many countries where circumcision is common there's a lot of misinformation about uncut penises, and a general taboo around talking about penises in general. The whole "uncut penises are unclean" thing is a common myth which appears to be pushed super hard. I can also imagine some men not actually learning how to clean properly (because where would you learn that?), furthering the stereotype.

I think OP is just coming from a background of misunderstanding, rather than trolling. I guess they also didn't realise how charged a topic it would be.

I... Really don't understand why people would browse the "all" feed with NSFW filters disabled, it just doesn't seem to be a pleasent experience. There's much worse than a dog man with his dick out that'll be on that feed. Violence, gore, scat, extreme porn, politics and the full range of offensive comments. Or even, depending on who your instance federates with, stuff like loli and bestiality.

People browsing "all" should be willing and ready to blacklist communities that post things that they find objectionable, rather than deciding that the "all" feed should be automatically curated for their preferences.

Would be nice if there was a seperate "NSFW" toggle for the "all" feed, full instance blocks or even specific, blockable NSFW tags.
