Something I WONT miss from Reddit/other social medias (beehaw.org)

Like most other people here, I originally came here from reddit. Ive been having a blast so far, and I much prefer the forum-style of this. After about a week of using Lemmy I realized there was something intrinsic to reddit that Lemmy doesnt have. And I wont miss it. Too many people on reddit were way too horny. I was really annoying, but Lemmy seems way more chill. Plus its refreshing knowing that the people on here arent all bots.

Trust me; they're coming. As a borderline asexual person I'd want nothing more than a non horny refuge, but that will never exist. Humans are far far too horned up to allow for that.

Why not just make or join an ACE community? I don't have any links handy, but I know I saw at least one searching through places to subscribe to.

That's a fair question, but more importantly what accent do you fart with? Or is a different one each time?

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Great question: It varies depending on what I eat.

I'm bisexual myself but I hope they can at least not let things turn into what askreddit turned into with the near constant sexual questions.

I'm asexual, through & through. It's understandable that sex / sexual content is inevitable in such a wide open space, but on R×ddit, it's become absolutely constant and inescapable! To the point where non-sexual things are being sexualized, and it's just become genuinely unnerving and gross.

I want to stop seeing posts commenting on everyday objects and being like "Damn, I'd fuck that!", as if anyone truly wanted to know that. Ever. Ick.

i think we are a lot safer, with instances that completely block nsfw, they gonna gather in the more open instances
