behaviour change through using lemmy or the fediverse for nsfw needs

Did your behaviour changed when you moved (parts of) your nsfw activities from reddit to lemmynsfw or the fediverse in general? If so, in what way?

  • I dunno, I'm an edge case.

    When it comes to porn, I don't use it, and choose to block it. Did on reddit too. I'm not opposed to it, it's just not something that I like for myself. Most of it is really shitty, and feels empty. I'd have to search a ton to find anything that isn't like that, so I just gave up on it entirely.

    Nudity, which isn't the same as porn, even when it's blatantly done to be used as such, I'm a bad audience for to begin with. I used to give people baths as part of my job. Twenty years of that, and nudity itself ceases to be arousing. I can appreciate the human body, but no nudity online is ever going to be porn for me.

    I still enjoy good erotica though. It's rare to find good erotic imagery online because it gets buried under the porn. But I enjoy it when I find it. And I used to write custom erotica, so I definitely don't object to it lol. But you run into a quality issue, so it isn't something I seek out.

    I have most of the nudity/porn based C/s blocked now, but other nsfw stuff, like this C/, is still in my all feed.

    On the rare occasion I want porn, it's easier to use something i already know fits my needs, so I rely on searching for specific titles of old porn lol. When I'm in the mood to enjoy nudity as a form of beauty, it's easy enough to just log out via browser and visit lemmynsfw or pornlemmy and scroll past the uninteresting stuff. Way less hassle than curating an nsfw specific account.

    But all of this predates the r/efugee migration. I think the last time I logged into my reddit nsfw account was like five years ago? It was definitely pre covid. I had it logged in on slide, and would sometimes troll with it though lol. But on slide, you could comment from any account without having to switch.

    I'm with you though, I prefer my imagination over random porn like you can find here or on reddit. I prefer written erotica to that as well. If want porn videos, I'll rely on known examples
