Seems like the divide is between people who actually contribute to this instance and post content, versus those who don't and want to decide what get seen or not. Question, when we are gone, are you going to start posting? Will you create and moderate communities? Or are you going to keep sitting and expecting poster to cater to your tastes?
Its pretty rich to sit on your ass, makes demands and still call others entitled.
Unless a community explicitly has a rule excluding content, and the uploads are valid there, downvoting something just because you're not into it just seems like entitlement to me. Its the same "reasoning" people use to get gay content outside of Rule34 or other general boards, because they find it "icky" (of course none of these people complain about lesbian content)
Believing that fetishes should be separated in their own corners and downvoted otherwise is an excellent reason to not have downvotes - or to just not post content in this instance anymore
I personally believe downvotes can be of use, but that would require a much, much larger userbase than what Lemmy - as a whole, and also LemmyNSFW - has. Maybe the biggest stances could afford to have downvotes (though from what I'm aware, plenty of them don't) but in NSFW I could easily see a few people with bad intentions deciding what gets or doesn't get seen in smaller communities.
The average activity in non-niche communities of NSFW is also much smaller than their Reddit counterparts, plus the fact that - from my experience - there's quite a few mods missing, inactive for several months to +1 year, and I'm not sure what one would do in case of brigading.
Unfortunately you can't really stimulate people to comment, which really would've been a boon to uploaders
Well, let's see how it goes, I guess. I'm not a big fan, and lack of downvotes was a good reason to feel more comfortable here.
By posts formatting I meant how vote and downvote can shift a conversation up and down, but on second thought the upvotes by themselves already change that, so it isn't that big of a change
Still sounds like something that is used more for harm than good, however
Odd choice, I'm pretty sure that the instances that don't allow it have done it explicitly because that's a fairly harmful way of engaging with a community - and also generally ruins post formatting
I hope this goes the same way as the Tony T Tiger VTuber career
Looking great, I hope you have fun with the game!
I will avoid any egg-related mentions, since I find those to be uncomfortable, and just say that while not feeling that when watching porn, I do enjoy ERP as a female character, as well as playing hentai games with female protagonists. Its an opportunity to be something that I'm not IRL and have different experiences. I don't see any difference on that than, say, playing as a fantasy or sci-fi species in a videogame for flavor.
I'm quite comfortable and happy with my own body, this is purely for erotic purposes and I wouldn't want to be a woman in any other situation.
Another foodstuff heist for the record, line it up with the classic
