Tldr lower. So there’s (yet again) another flurry of communities that are all crossposting each other’s content with this hentai stuff.

Aside from a lot of this being made with AI, it is in essence soft porn and I don’t want it in /all.

I usually write a comment under such posts saying

Set your comm to NSFW pls

Rarely the mod write “Done” and that’s it. Often it is downvoted, and now it’s also just removed by mod for (I wouldn’t know the reason as it’s on a different instance to mine)

https://lemmy.world/post/33972247

TLDR; I don’t want my all feed to be a soft porn feed, is there anyway of not having these hentai soft porn communities in all, apart from individually blocking them (which doesn’t really work, as they keep making more communities).

    Why can’t we expect that, though? True bad actors are surprisingly rare, and minor fauxpas forgiven.

    Because the larger the number of people in the group, the more disagreement there will be about defines “bad actors” and “minor fauxpas”. Right now in this thread people are arguing over whether or not these should be classified as NSFW, for instance.

    that was being used an arbitrary example, and the actual goal with browsing /all is to find content you are interested in but previously unaware of

    I know you meant meant linux just as an example, but what I am trying to understand is how much of an habit is it for you to get into content discovery mode that you worry about “doing it in public”?

      I’m not really up for a discussion on the foundational concept of ethos since it’s like 5am here, but conversations like this thread are pretty fundamental to how every human endeavor functions (hence why they’re broadly called ‘forums’). I don’t expect everyone to always do the “right thing” (nor do I want to litigate the minutiae of what “right thing” could mean in this context), but giving up on the entire idea of having a guideline to follow just because some people won’t seems a little defeatist.

      Lemmy is still extremely new, and finding new communities to help grow (or even just finding new sources of content to consume, which is similarly valid) is fairly difficult without resorting to the one tool we have to help discover them. I’d wager, without having access to the backend, that right now the majority of users browse by /all since most niche communities only have at best a handful of new posts a week, and that content is exhausted quickly. At least, that’s what I do, and I’m really very confident in my not-even-being-slightly-not-basic.

        Yeah, I could bet that is the case as well. But while I understand the justification for this behavior, I don’t think that it makes for a healthy one. Browsing by /all because the content of my curated feed is stale seems like driving to a McDonalds after finishing a healthy dinner and I’m not feeling completely full.
