Wait... How am I missing out on all this NSFW content? I'm just seeing Linux and Star Trek memes, somebody help me find the titties!

I'm pretty sure most of it is on the lemmynsfw instance, which some instances have defederated with out of either prudishness or a ridiculous notion that all porn is inherently exploitative. Maybe you're on one of those? ๐Ÿคท

Accord to https://status.lemm.ee, lemm.ee is federated with lemmynsfw and I even personally sub to a couple lemmynsfw communities. I also have NSFW enabled and unblurred in settings, and still I never see porn unless I actively seek it out. I want surprise titties, goddamn it!

Damn, that sucks. Maybe if you use a lemmy client that lets you mark communities as favorites you'll be more likely to have some thrown into your feed now and then?

I'm using Thunder, which has that. Can't say for sure how effective it is yet, though, as I only found out the day before yesterday and haven't done any measured testing..

Hey, I don't love my client yet, so I'm down to check out Thunder. Thanks for the recommendation, whether it ends up not helping me find my sought-after surprise titties or not ๐Ÿ‘

No problem ๐Ÿ˜

I want more communism

No, I've missed the NSFW content. Reddit got rid of all the fun stuff for crypto spam.

Porn is like raid for the ad cock roaches. Nobody will try to advertise if there's a lot of porn.

That being the case: Viva la smut!

Those are probably just newbies. My Reddit account is about 12 years old, and Lemmy right now reminds me of the good days of Reddit. It's ramping up that way.

I think it's great. Read about philosophy, memes, and get the occasional booba in-between. It's good Internetting.

People on lemmy.ml thinking we just really enjoy Mali.

It's actually been super refreshing to, generally, be able to say I am a Marxist-Leninist and not immediately get downvoted into oblivion. There are still some of the kneejerk reactions to the CPC, but even then people seem more willing to engage on good-faith even with disagreements.

be able to say I am a Marxist-Leninist

CPC

I think those two things are not the same and quite incompatible. Modern China is a capitalist hellscape, certainly not the communist utopia Marx had in mind. They have one of the highest levels of wealth disparity in the world and the highest number of billionaires, even more than the US.

I fully believe that Marx would be horrified if he saw modern China.

[โ€“] EchoCT@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Theres is a lot of nuance to that argument. Even Marx agreed that a capital stage is a necessary step on the way to communism. That's the whole dialect part of dialect materialism. Each step of the ladder has to be walked through and past as it becomes obsolete.

[โ€“] Rinox@feddit.it 1 points 1 year ago

I think he meant that it was necessary when going from a capitalist society to a communist society. China went from a rural society to a communist society to a capitalist society.

To be honest, nothing against that, it's obvious to me that communism as applied by the USSR or Mao or the Kims does not really work and the people really suffered for that, but if you do believe in the communist tenants, then China and Russia are as far away from that as you can possibly get.
