          I mean, it’s different in a lot of very important ways. The way Lemmy sorts is incredibly transparent, one of the beauties of open source. It’s incredibly stripped down and you have a lot of control over what is in front of you. It isn’t deliberately opaque like Twitter et al. That almost always end up trying to make you angry to keep you engaged. There are not a lot of background algorithms and an army of white-collar employees with billions of dollars and decades of research at their fingertips trying to make sure you never look away from your screen. If you have an unhealthy relationship with social media, and you are on the fediverse, it’s a little more on you than it is on the instance/Admins/devs. People who are addicted to TikTok and other social media apps in a lot of ways are partially victims. How can we expect 15 year olds to be able to emotionally handle these sites that, once again, are spending billions of dollars over decades to learn how to manipulate us as much as possible?

    I still haven’t received my hookers - is there a list I can check to see how much longer I have to wait?

    Mostly the hookers.

    My front page is just flooded with porn. I want the option to view NSFW subs, but not have them shoved in my goddamn face.

      That’s how Reddit was too before the push for investor money. R/all had porn. They eventually buried it all.

      Make subscribed your default view, apps give you many options to hide and/or blur NSFW.

          I think some people want Moar Content so they go to All a lot. I start in Subscribed/Hot, Subscribed/New, before I go to All. If I need content because I’m bored, maybe New Comments.

        Memmy’s NSFW settings work really well. If I forget to turn off hide before visiting a nsfw community, it tells me there are no posts.

      Yeah, I don’t mind porn but I’m defederated on my own personal instance temporarily until more granular federation options are introduced. It clogs up all super fast.

      I see no porn. I do have NSFW turned off in my settings. I dunno if it’s lemmy wide thing or exclusive to connect.

      Kbin has a disappointing lack of porn. I think it just struggles to hit the front page. Had to make my horny account on a different instance.

    More like with 13 blackjacks tables where only 3 are active and 6 rooms that may or may not contain hookers.
