      Let me guess:

      The first one is „God is dead“ by admin „K_Marx“

      The second one is: „Marx is dead“ by admin „God“

      But can’t you be on lemmy.ml and follow all the interesting communities from other instances (which might be harder to find, though)?

        The only instances that are blocked are porn ones, that’s a thing I don’t miss from reddit tbh, but the swear filter is really dumb. And doesn’t really fucking filters swears, but it’s really dumb regardless, since it’s neither opt-in nor opt-out, it’s just there.

          This almost seems like if the “god fraction“ has won…

          I know that they had a “no porn” rule, but “no swearing” is new to me. Surely it will be a healthy family-friendly community.

          I have no issue with some occasional nudes in my timeline. I could blur or filter it, if I would want to avoid this.

          But porn in the web for me is an important part of the “freedom of expression”, therefore I find it anachronistic if some community tries to block / ban this.

            Sure, but porn is so easily available that one only needs to explicitly look for it. Meanwhile there was a deluge of fetish communities appearing that every user had to block individually if they didn’t want 10 fart fetish posts on their timeline, so it was a quality of life improvement to block those communities on the server level.

              Of course you can get anything online if you go for it. But this kind of occasional nudes in my “all” timeline reminds me of the old Reddit days - and is quite nice as long as it doesn’t become too much.

              So far I’ve never seen any fart-fetish community / post in my timeline tbh.

                Well it wasn’t really occasional at the start when lots of people started creating new communities, every day there would be a bunch of new posts from new communities appearing in All

                before we had defederated from the porn server, I had blocked

                -Diaper porn

                -Gone wild

                -One just called “porn”

                -Hentai

                -Sissy chastity

                -huge boobs

                -Celebs

                -Yiff (ifkyk)

                -Ass

                -Anal

                -General NSFW

                -Femboys

                -Lewd Games

                -Rule34

                -AsiansGoneWild

                -Furry Chat

                -Gay furry porn

                -Furry Videos

                -Petplay Yiff

                -feet

                -sapphic hentai

                -sapphic art

                -Sissies

                -Hentai - BDSM

                -GoneMild

                -Grool

                -GoneMildPlus

                -Trans Hydro Hotties

                -Blowjob

                and at some point it’s like, could we make porn opt-in instead of playing whack a mole with every niche fetish? Yeah there’s an NSFW option, but that’s more for hiding the images themselves, not ignoring the communities or servers.

        I thought that was an exchange between Nietzsche and God, or it used to be. Anyway, I was unaware that the double low-9 quotation mark was even a thing so thanks for that.

        “African-Americans Gone Wild” or "People of Color Gone Wild " just don’t seem to have the same ring to it, I guess. I’m pretty sure almost any other term you might use would be frowned upon.

          Not all black people are African-American or even African or American, you know? I’d be way more irritated if someone called me African-American than black, since one of these is true and the other simply isn’t.

            Yeah, that’s why I added the “People of Color Gone Wild”, since the other isn’t really all-inclusive. Race is so weird to talk about in the US though, it’s like no matter how you talk about it as a white person, you’re stepping on somebody’s toes somewhere. It’s like we can’t even discuss anything without the terminology itself becoming an issue, which just sort of derails any other conversations you might be having. I get why the topic is necessary in some cases, but it feels like it needlessly complicated things at times.

          Pretty sure they prefer black like native Americans prefer Indians. Can we call people white? I’ve never heard anyone wants to be called ebony. I only know the term ebony from porn

            “Pretty sure they”…

            Nope, I’ll stop you right there. And the context is porn. Note, again, the term being discussed is not Black, which is perfectly kosher, but referring to Black people as “blacks”, which is considered dehumanizing.

            As for alternatives, the existing PoC-run reddit communities are called Ebony, GoneWildColor, GWBlackGirls, etc. Hopefully that gives you some insight.

                Not exactly sure what you’re asking, but no, collective nouns aren’t generally pluralized in English, nor is the term appropriate outside of a porn context. Are you a native English speaker?

                  Blacks and whites. Indians and Asians. Look, it’s plural. Add an S, guess it’s dehumanizing? I think the term daddy is dehumanizing. Please, only use dad. Do not add another dy.

              When I lived in Kenya, basically every one called me musungu which is used for westerns but means literally “white face”, I don’t think I felt dehumanised, but that was years ago before Chinese people invaded Kenya.

          Calling black people “ebony” is like calling white people “porcelain”. It’s romanticising their skin colour. It may make sense for things like porn, but please don’t refer to any group with that sort of name in a normal context. It’s incredibly weird.

              Yes, but you’ve also said that referring to people as “black” is dehumanising, and then you were asked what word you’d use instead.
              At this moment it isn’t unreasonable to think the context has changed from porn community titles to your personal thoughts on how to refer to a specific ethnic group in any situation.
              That’s how I (and I assume many others) read the situation.

                No. Myself, and the commenter who was being responded to, said that referring to Black people as “blacks” is dehumanizing, which it is, and the context being asked for was an alternative term for an NSFW community. Hopefully that clarifies the issue.

    “Russians gone wild.” Russians? Why Russians, specifically? They’re not even a clear ethnicity like the others. Is it the below freezing nipples?
