The shaving pattern looks fantastic, also you have an incredible username
You lack faith /j
and sometimes they do kiss as well
I'm glad that you have a safe and healthy outlet and interact with people in real life about it.
I don't really see NSFW art with much difference from SFW, at least not in an exciting way, I just got into browsing artists a few years ago and enjoy sharing, as well as being in the online communities.
I don't believe I'm doing that much, but you're welcome. I appreciate the comments.
There are, in fact, Cowboy Bebop skins in Overwatch, but good eye
Sounds like someone who never did the Any% Braless Run
Seems like the divide is between people who actually contribute to this instance and post content, versus those who don't and want to decide what get seen or not. Question, when we are gone, are you going to start posting? Will you create and moderate communities? Or are you going to keep sitting and expecting poster to cater to your tastes?
Its pretty rich to sit on your ass, makes demands and still call others entitled.
Unless a community explicitly has a rule excluding content, and the uploads are valid there, downvoting something just because you're not into it just seems like entitlement to me. Its the same "reasoning" people use to get gay content outside of Rule34 or other general boards, because they find it "icky" (of course none of these people complain about lesbian content)
Believing that fetishes should be separated in their own corners and downvoted otherwise is an excellent reason to not have downvotes - or to just not post content in this instance anymore
I personally believe downvotes can be of use, but that would require a much, much larger userbase than what Lemmy - as a whole, and also LemmyNSFW - has. Maybe the biggest stances could afford to have downvotes (though from what I'm aware, plenty of them don't) but in NSFW I could easily see a few people with bad intentions deciding what gets or doesn't get seen in smaller communities.
The average activity in non-niche communities of NSFW is also much smaller than their Reddit counterparts, plus the fact that - from my experience - there's quite a few mods missing, inactive for several months to +1 year, and I'm not sure what one would do in case of brigading.
Unfortunately you can't really stimulate people to comment, which really would've been a boon to uploaders
I have been considering running something similar to HentaiAndRoleplay here, however minor function that ends up being a major issue is at play in Lemmy; There's no in-built chat like Reddit, Twitter or (I assume) Mastodon have.
I considered adding an app like Sharex as the default program people would use, considering its quick to setup and discard, but then again that'd still require others to contribute to the community, and frankly from what I've seen, Lemmy folks aren't very chatty.
