Whatever, I'll use it and abuse it.

No it got popular because Reddit pissed a lot of people off temporarily. The only thing segregated instances does is confuse and upset the average person. Hell I host like 10 different alternative open source front ends for various websites and I fucking hate Lemmy instances. It makes Discovery new content unbelievably tedious.
What if I just want to browse communities? I can only do that on a per instant spaces, I have to go to that instance go to its communities tabs to browse and then if I find something I want I have to take its address and then go back to my own instance so I can subscribe to it with my account. That pisses me off and makes me not want to bother with it let alone the average user.
The sad state of reality is that centralized systems will always eventually get turned into corporate greed money machines but decentralized instances are by their very nature just shit and hard to work with and no one wants to put up with them.
Not specifically porn groups, I said not to be too banhammer happy. They were basically accused of being borderline pedophiles so everyone should block them. But I just can't see any evidence of that, it's literally the main sidebar rule that age verification is required and it's in every post I looked at as the rules required. And I didn't see anyone doing anything other than the usual creepy comments about how they want to fuck her that you will see on literally any porn forum.
That sort of jump to conclusions ban first mentality is what starts to lead to Echo chambers. Not from Banning porn specifically but just the mindset of ban first don't verify
I mean we can just look at historical precedent. Back when the drug crisis started and Nixon decided to start the War on Drugs Switzerland took a completely different approach and started what they called care centers. Somewhere you could go to get heroin of high quality administered by doctors for free, you would also then get somewhere to sleep somewhere to shower and keep your things. Access to social workers and mental Care Professionals to help you get your life back on track.
They saw a 85% success rate within the first year. 85% of people that went into those facilities had a stable job on their own household of some variety within the first year and a follow-up study of how they were doing 5 years later showed that they had stayed employed and housed and not regressed.
But that would require people in the US to be willing to look at them as people and not just criminals who did it to themselves. These people are literally broken, you can't treat their actions as you would a normal person because they are not mentally stable.
There are plenty of good ones out there, but be ready to invest a lot of time getting into them. The accounts I have I have had for over 10 years and it took probably a good 2 to 3 years to actually get into those better places. You have to actually build up a reputation of maintaining good ratio at smaller sites and get invited by a member. It's a pain in the ass but it's also worth it, way better content, way better speeds
Sites like these are always useless, they never showed jack shit for me. Because I don't use public trackers I stick with private ones and those stupid Bots don't have access to private trackers
Browsing through the comments a bit, I don't really see them fetishizing it as even close to children. They just happened to be into petite women, the smaller the better. On the opposite extreme is stuff like the BBW fetish people who want the woman to be as large as possible.
There are definitely people out there who are probably looking at them just because it's as close as they can legally get to teen, but I'm not really seeing much of that in that particular community at least not out in the open. It's definitely possible to be interested in extremely petite bodies without it having literally anything whatsoever to do with any potential similarities to underage women.
If I had to guess it's probably mostly just people who like being in control, the idea of an adult partner who is so small that you can literally pick them up with ease and use them like a toy. I found a decent number of comments that seems to be on that sort of track.
From what I can see of the age verification almost all of these women have been involved in some form of pornography even just magazine or video so I doubt that they are particularly uncomfortable about being looked at it's actually. There's always going to be creeps who think about you and weird ways in that industry it's not something you go into not knowing that.
Now I'm not trying to be too overly defensive of this particular community, just trying to remind people to not get overly banhammer happy. That's how Echo Chambers start to form
Curiosity took me so I checked it out. I just see petite adult women? Literally every single post has 18 USC 2257 compliant age verification in the main body and it's listed as a rule on the sidebar that it must be included.
I'm all for a fuck literally any child fetishization. But they seem to be very clearly ensuring that there's no children. you can't seriously be saying that any adult female with a petite body should be seen as shameful and equated to a child?
I do this on purpose to prevent myself from buying to much. I KNOW I'll get more than I came for, lack of basket or cart puts an upper limit on how much
Maybe in some places but definitely not in seattle. I see people turn red at intersections very clearly marked no turn on red all the time
I already do this, everything in my media is extremely cleanly named because they are handled by sonarr
series name/season 00/EPSxxExx-"episode title"
so it's not a file format issue. It gets a lot of them but there are certain things especially if they are recently aired or currently airing where it will simply fail to find a match until I give it the Japanese name at which point it manages to find the metadata for the English name. Really stupid stuff like that
I think the point is that trying to ban right on red will change nothing because they will still just drive incorrectly turning right even if they shouldn't they already weren't supposed to be turning
piped for desktop and libretube for mobile also a great option
I keep trying, I have an extremely large collection and it keeps falling flat on metadata matching. Especially with anime, yes I have installed the add-ons. They still suck. And for whatever reason it's transcoding performance is nowhere near as good. It also still has an unresolved memory leak issue with a ticket that's been open for a long long time about it. I want to replace Plex but it needs to be with something as good as Plex
Then just use a circle tool or a brush stabilizer have you ever thought of that nerd?
this is a joke i say as someone struggling to practice art for fun
That would be because Amtrak is not a high-speed rail. They barely maintain their rails and so they have to go quite slowly.
There's actually a few of them, but the most recent I can remember off the top of my head is probably the DRM leasing. That was a fun one. Everyone got together discussed how to do DRM leasing, gnome agreed and signed off on the implementation, stayed quiet for a long time, someone made a pull request for the agreed upon implementation, silence for a bit, and then all of a sudden "actually this implementation bad should be portal so nvm not doing it this way everyone else should change to use portals"
ah right another was variable refresh https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1154 basically sat for 3 years with no review, and when users started being like hey we really need this what's going on developers got all super defensive and ultimately locked it claiming harassment
The comment about 8 years was a reference to the thumbnails in the file browser. If I recall correctly that one took about 8 years
wait what? piped doesn't use your login in any way tho? you manually import subscriptions from Google checkout and you create a piped specific login for syncing that across devices. at no point will piped ever ask for your Google account
a more permanent solution would be using an alternative front end like piped. there are a lot of public instances available
What are you talking about? My phone has an average screen on time of 7 hours a day and the status bar is literally a permanently static element. So are the three software buttons for home back and app switch. But they still don't burn in
