“I’m sure it exists, I just blocked it because I personally don’t like it” - everyone on lemmy

Lets agree to disagree? Because you cannot generalize the entirety of Lemmy about this topic. Lemmy certainly has NSFW content which means it is not everyone that blocks it. Not only that, there's a phrase that goes like; ''be the change'' or something like that. If you want NSFW content to flourish, then start a community like that and post it. Perhaps people might join the community and post too.

Communities outside of tech and politics are very very small and slow. Especially anything NSFW. There’s a lot of prudish and ace people in the current crop of lemmy users.

I genuinely don’t understand it. If you want sexual content and it’s not on Lemmy, there are other specific sites for that, right? Like I mentioned before, Lemmy itself is already a tech-based platform which means tech-savvy people will be more on Lemmy and that means lots of tech-talk. Politics will be big on every platform because that's just a important topic in life. Life basically evolved around politics.

Not wanting to see sexual content does not directly mean someone is prudish, it just literally means they don't want to see that kind of content now. Therefore people block it. It's not that deep (no pun intended).

For example for me, when I'm on Lemmy I want to see; Tech, Piracy, some politics, bit of anime debate (non-sexual) and some jokes. Nothing else. If I want anything else, there are other places to visit.
