I have a question about the Fediverse: How can you take full advantage of all the different instances, such as picture-centric, long-post/writing instances, book-review instances etc. with just one account. Can you? They always tout it’s cross compatible but how? #fediverse #howto

@lauren maybe my opinion is unpopular, but I wish porn wasn’t so readily available, period. I know some people make a living with this, but it’s so damaging on so many levels. For those producing it and for those consuming it.

@lauren I know. Oldest profession etc etc etc. But there is evidence that letting it go rampant and unchecked may cause issues in young adults, especially when the realty doesn’t match the expectation. Alcohol is as old as humanity itself, yet we don’t give it to kids.

@lauren I lived in Italy for 12 years. The occasional sip of wine at dinner for an older kid is happening. But it’s also not the norm. I am German and I grew up seeing naked bodies on TV. Nakedness is normal for me. And there is nothing dirty about it. Alcohol was accessible to me, and I didn’t have a desire to try it, because it was nothing special. When you make a big deal out of something and ban it, it becomes more desirable. I get that. But

@lauren but as an occasional porn user myself, I have seen what it does when it goes unchecked. I have seen the abominations that are out there, that shouldn’t be in mainstream. This shit is messed up. I believe by banning it we would make it worse. But not controlling it at all isn’t good either.

@lauren Censorship at the source doesn’t equal dictatorship. We censor hate speech. Racism. Child porn. I just think mainstream porn has taken a dangerous turn and I wish there was a way to control it better. Gangbang, bondage, rape. It may all be fake, but the subliminal messaging is damaging. Human dignity is untouchable. Wishful thinking, I suppose.

@lauren But CSAM is illegal and unless a user goes out of their way, you don't just stumble across it. At least, I have never. Making some things illegal doesn't stamp them out, but it does make it less accessible. I'm just saying that I wish there was a way to turn back the flood. Torture porn, rape... it's all mainstream now and I wish it wasn't. I have a hard time saying, oh well, it’s out there now, we can't risk a police state so we just leave it.

@DarcMoughty @lauren See - I personally believe that sex should be legal, regulated and taxed. Again, I'm German and it shows. Totally different subjects though.

@DarcMoughty @lauren Maybe if sex work WAS legal everywhere, there wouldn't be so much need for stupid porn.

@lauren @DarcMoughty Again, wishful thinking. I do that a lot. But I want to question stuff. I don't just want to say, oh well, the cat is out of the bag now, so long.
