In my 10+ years of using Reddit never once did I visit a NSFW sub. It’s always been a forum for sharing information for me.
You missed so much
The golden days of gone wild were wild.
Yeah, it was great before OnlyFans blew up.
Even /r/OnlyFans was awesome in its own way
Gone; wild.
same here but shorter time. why did it flourish more than forums though!? that’s the mistery
Personally I think the format of upvoting posts to decide what people talk about, upvoting comments to decide what information/opinions get more visibility, and branching comment threads so you can have multiple conversations about the same topic is just a much nicer format than forum threads just being bumped because someone posted “bump” and having multiple conversations trying to keep track of each other in one single comment thread. Unfortunately that formula can be easily replicated so really it was just a matter of time before similar alternatives popped up. Same thing happening with Twitter and Threads, all you did was give people a different way to post Facebook statuses, you didn’t really “invent” anything so much as iterate on an existing concept and nothing about the idea was that difficult to replicate once it was legitimized as a tried and true formula.
“Unfortunately that formula can be easily replicated so really it was just a matter of time before similar alternatives popped up.”
I disagree on the unfortunate part. I think it’s good that alternatives are easy to make. That means I don’t have to put up with the shenanigans to have the type of forum I’ve enjoyed.
Well yes, what I meant by that word choice was “unfortunately for Reddit”, but good for you and me! I’m loving that people seem to be realizing that it’s really not hard making an alternative to what is essentially a text-based website.
The thing that is truly unfortunate is how much harder the same is to do for data-heavy sites for sharing images, videos, etc.
reddit awards were an invention and great idea tbh, especially in subs like ELI5 and r/math. Gold or star awarded comments were really dope
For a lot of people: Porn, and easy access to otherwise obscure interests.
I think ease of use helped a lot.
Ease of use for the moderators and end users. How many user names and passwords would I have to keep track of before? The effort isn’t much, but it adds up.
Smells funny
There was a subreddit for that
Right?
I feel like the only person who used reddit for conversation.
Thankfully it seems like many of the wittier reddit users moved here (at least until they’re drowned out.)
NSFW subs used to show up in /r/all so they were easy to stumble upon and learn about without even having to intentionally look for them.
If I remember correctly they never actually displayed the images (or thumbnails) themselves in the all feed unless there was an option to allow it.
Truer words have never been spoken. Nic(h)e porn, nic(h)e hobbies. It’s time to rebuild here. Also it still blows my mind to hear about the amount of money people used to throw on customizible avatars & awards( 3k, like how tf do you even live at this point)

I think Ian Malcom’s quote “porn will find a way” helps alleviate that. Porn has always been at the forefront of new tech. I think this will be that way too but hopefully we have responsible admins who help to make it only true if you look for it.
you underestimate how many kinky furry technologists there are on the fediverse ;)

You’ll take what you can get, and you’ll like it!
Reddit had terrible performance and was just lame. I am so glad they fell apart and brought me to Lemmy. It blows it away.
Whilst developing sync I’ve been constantly surprised how goddamn fast Lemmy is.

your username lmao
At this point, PornHub is a better social media platform
am I the only one who didn’t use deaddit for p0rn‽
Never used it for p0rn, only to find new ways to spend money and get my dumb self informed about tech topics I was interested in
Twitter and Instagram are also escort hookup sites
Word
“Look at all this stuff that you’re not allowed to look at.”
Seriously though, what government is not letting you slap the salami in this day and age?
HENTAI
Ok, this one had me laughing. Good one
Lol
Not for long
Actually that was Twitter
