      For me, its because its the canary. If no porn, then probably too corporate for real discussion

      I don’t understand people’s obsession with assuming that having a passing interest in something society frowns upon means they’re obsessed with it.

      I doubt it would overwhelm threads in any meaningful way, unless it just happened to have a perfect storm of features that appealed to pornographers. So their view that “You can’t do that! It’s not right!” seems like they’re not really aiming to make a service that people can use… but a product they can sell to advertisers. Not that I doubted that anyone thought it’d be any different.

      The thing is, you can have both. You just have to not go whole hog on either. You have to find a middle ground.

        Making a big deal of a platform that doesn’t want to have nude content on it when there are multiple other places where you can post nudity is obsessive

          Is discussion such a disgusting topic to you that any time someone does it you break out in hives?

          Talking about something doesn’t mean its an obsession, just a topic of interest. Just because you don’t take issue with it doesn’t mean it’s not worth discussing.

      I’m here for my hobbies, which typically don’t involve naked people. I liked tumblr back in the day because of the really strong underground music scene on it, but it just vanished all at once when they changed the rules. Really bummed me out since I made some good friends and was able to promote my music really well there.
