Is it just me or is bluesky full of anime porn

I just made an account in bluesky. And was greeted by lots of anime tits. Nothing against people's preferences, but is this how businesses nowadays greet new customers? I mean, they are trying to build a twitter alternative, aren't they?

Welcome to the internet! Half my lemmy community blocklist is to keep cartoon titties off my feed.
- You should publish that list for .. Um... research purposes.
Ohh, I may have to create a bluesky login after all 🌚
It’s not exactly a business
Furries keep the Internet running, annoy them at your own peril
in general, bsky is queer as fuck. That is a feature.
- Bluesky is a platform where, like any other social platform, businesses can try to establish themselves to better communicate with and to become more approachable to customers. What OP is asking is why a business would want to make a Bluesky account if Bluesky has NSFW stuff like anime porn front and center (and the problem doesn't seem to be whether there is porn in Bluesky, but it's more about it being everywhere you look when creating an account)
  The furry and anime community are not the same and don't overlap as much as people think. The anime community is more about Japanese culture and animated Japanese TV shows and films, while the furry community only really care about stuff related with anthropomorphic animals. There are some anthropomorphic characters in anime like girls with cat ears, but they barely look alike fursonas.
  Whenever I think of people who would like to see anime tits, I think of young and mostly virgin straight (and maybe also bi?) dudes, not exactly a diverse community as LGBT+.
  
  Businesses can stay away if they want.
  I know. Someone else brought up furries.
  I know. That is an unrelated point. Bsky is gay as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. That’s how we like it.
Bro that’s just the internet. When I left Reddit I had over a thousand anime subs blocked. Took me weeks of blocking them when I first got here last year. Twitter wasn’t as bad for me since I never look at the curated right wing propaganda TL and only look at who I follow which is all mostly sports beat writers and hardcore sports fans.
Could you even make a more obvious ad for Bluesky?
Dude I browse the /r/all of Lemmy and have to filter out the NSFW because it is all just too much.
Any social platform without corporate influence will be filled with porn. After all...
- True. On lemmy I have a long blocklist full of anime stuff.
  
  Damn are there that many anime related communities on Lemmy? I feel like the vast majority would be instance specific e.g ani.social and pawb.social but nobody's really browsing those if you aren't looking for anime stuff
I mean, they are trying to build a twitter alternative, aren't they?
Yes, exactly
There was a recent change in Twitter's posting policies. They now have decided that any art posted to twitter, twitter owns. There is an on going exodus of artists who decided on bluesky as their new homes. There might be algo bias going on from the influx.
Hopefully this link shared correctly, but I found that furries are all over the place there. And while I don’t care that they want to be furries, I don’t really want to see it all over.
Anyway, this moderation list has helped a lot in filtering out a lot of that type of post and has made my experience a lot better.
It’s a scary looking link, but I promise I just hit the share button from the app. This list is called “Ultimate Furry Mute”

Edit: and then this one is the same idea, just a different moderation list

  I have some unfortunate news for you about this place then...
  
  I honestly don't see a lot of furry stuff here in my feed or server. Or even in All when I browse that from time to time.
I wasn't even greeted by tits,maaaan
That just sounds like they need better NSFW tagging and enforcement of NSFW tags.
There's different feeds you subscribe to, and you can disable adult content.
I’ve never even thought to access BlueSky via anything but the ‘following’ tab. Wow!
Mastodon is better because it's federated. I'd never heard of bluesky but I just looked it up(no account even) and it appears that you are correct, it is filled with anime porn.
A few years ago mastodon seemed to be awash with bots posting... young scantily clad anime girls.
Whether or not you find it offensive, it's not really ideal for building a community around and it's a shame admins just let it go.
Its twitter's alt.
Is bluesky kinda dead for anyone else? Or am I just too used to bots on twatter
it's that + all of the iNfLuEnCeRs from Twitter who consider Twitter now beyond the pale, it's a good thing to me that this is all somewhere I can easily avoid 😄
Anonymouse
It is, if that's what you follow.
