Historically, porn has organically decided which platform or formats become dominant. It’s incredibly anti-censorship, but walks many fine lines.

As Reddit now and tomorrow reveals more weaknesses, where will the OnlyFans creators, porn posters, and all those grassroots porn communities go? The creators need to make money by showing to a large and interested user base. The users need lots of content to choose from and be fed constantly, with very few hindrances between them and their…goals. Many of the niches actually have respectful and healthy communities, too. Those people deserve an easy to use platform, just as much as people that want to look at cats, some of those groups, arguably more.

The thought of how to pose this to the Fediverse, now, has been on my mind for weeks:

Can the fediverse rise to the task? Does it even want to? Should it?

Personally, I think it should absolutely try, but I’m not sure it can do so without several deep strides in tech and development. I’m aware this is a hot af take, but it’s undeniable that the internet IS for porn, and denying that would be a huge opportunity loss for inevitably winning this popularity context.

    If someone makes a federated porn app, they could call it “Feddish” … just give me a mention in the credits.

      I want to make an app that defaults you to lemmynsfw just because of this comment now. Like pick a name and password and boom you have a porn feed now. No knowledge of instances or Lemmy needed. Would be pretty cool.

        I mean you could just create a second “porn” login on lemmynsfw and switch between profiles on a app like connect or jerboa… I’m pretty sure I know a guy who did just that 😉
