I’ve seen multiple requests for nsfw lemmy communities like reddit has. I live in Germany, and I think you are required to verify that the users that see porn content are above the age of 18. Does Lemmy has or plan to have a feature for that? Maybe this should be an issue on github?
Exactly my approach. Plus, I can’t, for the life of me, wrap my head around why porn is such an ever present concern, when so many other things, arguably as harmful, or IMHO more so, are apparently “totally okay”.
Yes, sure, porn addiction can be a problem, but I feel that this topic is actually a common fetish of certain people, who will happily ignore the neurological consequences of OTHER types of harmful content and behavior: YouTube autoplay, the constant stream of ads aimed at making us consume every single last bit of resource on the planet for 10 people’s net worth, the desensitization to violence, especially against beings different to us (different skin color, beliefs, species, etc)…
Yeah, but no. None of those things are a problem. Just PoOoOoOoRnNn… Will someone please think of the children?? And then what? Make a mandatory retinal scan before you can move a muscle? We wouldn’t want people to actually get addicted to the only last good thing they have in their life, right? All this, because we achieved making a truly ground breaking rotten society, and people’s “porn addiction” says more about the extent of their despair than anything else, really…
