_number8_What from reddit do you hope to never see on lemmy?
This may be an unpopular option since I’ve already seen it across lemmy, but the ____porn communities. I’d like to browse pictures of nice landscapes or exotic cars without worry about someone around me noticing “PORN” on my screen.
At this point it seems very old internet, something that made sense when those communities were established, but now is unnecessary gratuitous and not socially acceptable.
Damn, I had forgotten how obnoxious that was on Reddit. Blocked all of those years ago because it was just unnecessary and a gross way to qualify otherwise unremarkable photos.
z500It never bothered me per se, but it's definitely awkward to come across some chapter of human suffering on r/HistoryPorn.

Hey, me too.

These subs lost all value years ago when they just became karma-laundering fronts.
It just seems so dated.
It reeks of “this website was funny and relevent in 2009!”
Funny enough, the first time I heard someone use ___porn IRL (outside of all the 90s surf/skate/ski videos i Grew up with which were always called a porn)
was a chef I used to work for, back in 2001-2, l woman in her 50s at the time. Who would refer to ‘food porn all the time.’
'OH we need a new salad for the spring menu- “go look at that stack of food porn (industry magazines and Michelin restaurant cookbooks) for inspiration”
Or “make me one of the swordfish special, but do it up for some food porn”
I guess its one of those terms that I dont really think of as dirty, or professional inappropriate anymore.
