TBH I think TNG did this very well with the Klingons (depending on who was writing the episode, of course). Like, some Klingons were Real Klingons(tm) but many others only gave lip service to those ideals and were actually as sneaky and cowardly as any other race. I think a lot of Worf's inner conflict came from realizing and processing that fact.
This one's a little borderline, but please mark it as NSFW anyway.
You mean condoms? Only sailors use those!
I'm going to add that the content on that comm almost certainly violates the deepfake ban that is going to get passed in the UK very soon, which carries a six month jail sentence. We do not want to mess around with that, so that combined with the general uncertainty over how the consent rule applies to it made it an easy call.
which way, what I posted or without numbers?
So just typing numbers breaks formatting, but I can see what I can do.
They are numbered? Do you not see them like this?
Hi all! Mikey here, one of your fearless admins. We've had so many new users lately that I wanted to bid you all welcome! Have a look around. You'll need an account to see the nsfw content, which is most of it. Feel free to sign up for one -- we rarely go more than a few hours, maybe a day at most, without zeroing the application queue.
We like new people and we strongly encourage to you participate, not just lurk! But before you do, please check the rules in the right-hand sidebar of the main page (or here) and also give the ol' FAQ a quick clickeroonie: https://docs.lemmynsfw.com/docs/faq/.
Our purpose is to be a safe, friendly place for NSFW "research" on the Fediverse . I know a lot of you are coming over from reddit and so I would like to stress that despite superficial similarities, we are not reddit and we don't want to be reddit. The vibe around here is different and some things that were common over there are not acceptable around here. Please make note of our content restrictions. We are especially picky about respect and consent, and we take our sourcing policy seriously.
Things are still pretty new around here and there are a lot of rough edges, so we hope you'll try to bear with us. Lemmy isn't fully featured yet, so running a Lemmy instance, let alone an NSFW instance, is kind of like trying to build a plane while it's already in the air.
If you have any new user questions you can comment here, post in c/asklemmynsfw, or if you use matrix, there's a public operations page: https://matrix.to/#/#lemmynsfw:matrix.org (what Lemmy is to Reddit and Mastodon is to Twitter, matrix is to Slack or Discord). You can also message me or another admin, but matrix will probably get you a faster reply.
Thanks everyone! Welcome once again, and I hope to see you around.
just generally have a place for any questions
Where do babies come from?
Yup. It fell under rule 5, so we removed it.
Oh, buddy, that's not something you should be asking an NSFW messageboard about. Porn isn't going to make that any better if you're struggling with envy and resentment. Unless you're a genetic 1%er, it'll probably make it worse. My advice? Find a good therapist. That's the most straightforward path to helping yourself.
Yes, that's called getting older. Happens to most of us that aren't genetic 1%ers after a certain age. Late 20s sounds about right -- maybe even a little late.
The Buddha teaches that desire is the root of all suffering. Abandon the desire and you abandon the suffering.
Envy is resenting another person for having what you think you lack, but the resentment comes from you, not from them. They are doing nothing wrong.
You feel resentment because you feel bad about not having something, not them having it. After all, if you both had it then you wouldn't feel bad, would you? It's a lack of self-esteem and a glut of self-hatred that you're really fighting. Resentment is just a projection of that feeling outwards instead of inwards. It's much easier to dislike them because then you don't have to confront what it is about yourself that you dislike.
It's ok to see someone and want what they have, as long as you can let that feeling go. Acknowledge it, embrace it, and then release it. Acknowledge that any negativity comes from how you feel about yourself, not them. Acknowledge this your self-hatred is a problem you can solve, and then do something to solve it.
Thanks for posting! Love this picture. Next time you post, could you make sure to tag it [nude] or [explicit] or whatever's appropriate?
Here's a post I got one of these reports on. Can someone from .world check? NSFW, obvi.
It certainly could be a client thing, but I'm betting it's a federation problem. Some kind of bug that's hard to trace.
Hi all, LemmyNSFW.com admin here. We're getting a lot of reports from this instance of posts from our instance not being correctly tagged NSFW, but they are showing as correctly tagged on our end. Could the NSFW tag not be federating correctly?
Hi all! Apparently there are a couple of Lemmy apps now where the "report" button is right next to the "share" button, and so we've been getting inundated with a bunch of reports that aren't actually real. One of those apps defaults to putting no text in the box where you're supposed to put in the reason for reporting, and the other one defaults to "Spam or Abuse".
We don't have the resources to go chasing down all bajillionty-twelve of those reports we're getting on the off chance that one or two may be real, so for the time being any report with either nothing or "Spam or Abuse" in the subject line will be swept into the circular file, unless we can tell just by looking at the post and not clicking anything (no nsfw tag, obvious off-topic spam) that it's a bad post.
Thanks!
Please stop reporting all OF models as spam. If a post is off-topic, report is as off-topic. If community rules forbid OF models from posting, report that. If a user is flooding a sub with multiple posts a day in a row, that's a legit report as well.
Otherwise a post by an OF model is not in and of itself spam, even if it is made by a <ferengi>female</ferengi> with the temerity to control her own sexuality.
Hi all! As promised, here is the proposed text of the newest version of the rules. The staff has gone through like eight drafts and literally thousands and thousands of matrix posts to get here, so please be kind. You can see @limeey's comment on the transparency post if you want more insight into how this sausage was made.
We are opening these rules to commentary from the community before they go into effect. To be clear, this isn't a vote, but we will take all community feedback into account and answer whatever questions we can before finalizing anything.
Please keep in mind that we are not Reddit, we do not have Reddit's resources, and safety and consent are our priorities.
I'll post the draft in two parts in two comments: The new sidebar, and the FAQ/clarifications page.
Hi Lemmy.world admins! I'm an admin over on lemmynsfw.com. We've been getting a handful of reports on posts on our instance from lemmy.world users, all with the subject "Spam or Abuse", and in all but one case the post was neither spam nor abuse.
Could there be something weird with federation going on? It doesn't seem like malicious reporting and it doesn't seem to be following any pattern that we can tell. It's just weird.
About a quarter of the communities here have 0 posts in them. We're going to start pruning the 0-post comms in the next couple of days. If you have a comm with 0 posts that you want to keep alive, please make an on-topic post in it. Otherwise you're going to lose it.
