Who censored the beautiful nipnips of poor ~~Sisyphus~~Atlas?

[–] Okapi@lemmy.zip 41 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

If female nipples are still considered obscene, the same rules should apply to everyone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 78 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I feel like the argument "If some people are wronged, everyone should be wronged!" has some flaws.

[–] Okapi@lemmy.zip 39 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's rather meant to show the absurdity of censoring female nipples (in a small sidenote)

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 60 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I would propose censoring female nipples with male nipples then. Since the latter need not be censored.

[–] Gnugit@aussie.zone 13 points 1 month ago

This is perfect

Sadly, a lot of people genuinely believe this. That all nipples should be censored/covered up.

Look up some discussions about female toplessness online. Unless you are in a queer/very progressive space, a very large number of people would support banning men from being topless too. Most common argument I've found wasn't equality but rather some people being ugly and not wanting to see them.

The nipples are censored. Does this imply they're girlboobs?

[–] stickly@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I had a great Sissy-phus joke lined up until I realized that's probably Atlas

Missed opportunity with an At-lass pun

insert right wing ramble about the left making everything trans

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 61 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Kinda funny; here on Lemmy they're appreciated, while on Reddit we hated "power users" with a passion.

That said, I really do feel like the posters on Lemmy are trying their very best to provide interesting content, and they do this by fostering their chosen communities by hand. I'm a fan.

[–] Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 41 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Here on Lemmy we know there's no financial incentive, no perverse conflict of interests - just people who cared enough to build the infrastructure, maintain it, and provide service for others.

Feels nice for sure.

[–] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah I had a realization that a lot of the things that used to bother me on reddit don't worry me as much here. Something is fundamentally working better but I'm not sure what it is yet.

Are Atlas' nips blurred? C'mon let me see the skittles don't be g greedy

[–] livejamie@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hips and nips, otherwise I'm not eating.

4.8K posts in 2 years… I’m doing my part!

[–] Zizzy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You really are, i love your posts thank you for continually making my day a little brighter

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Thank you! I love knowing that it brightens your day, that’s exactly why I do it.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You are an animal content machine! If I see an animal that I didn't post, I usually expect to see your name under it. 😄

Thank my lucky tuppence that those smashing knockers are pixelated or I would've spaffed right all over bloody Trafalgar Square and what a kerfuffle that would have been

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 35 points 1 month ago (10 children)

It's damn hard to get other people to post. Every so often I like to go around and find smaller communities to share content to.

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

3K+ comments in my two years on Lemmy. Not too shabby if I do say so myself.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (7 children)

Nice! Commenting is the hardest part and the most vital to community.

I'm nearing half that on this 3 month old account, I'd hate to think what my total has been over all instances these past 2 years.

That's meeeeeee! I always feel unworthy when you guys mention me, but I love that you have a fun time talking about grumpy birds with me.

I wonder if the internet culture of sharing has died off somewhat. Old guy here. Are people are so used to consuming they forget about sharing? Or maybe it's just the type of person who uses the internet today is inherently more consumer then early adopters?

In my day a big appeal of the internet was to share things. But now it is to consume things.

!fedigrow@lemmy.zip for people interested to see how it is to grow a community, week after week

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You do a lot of great work as a poster and as a facilitator with getting the word out on a lot of things. You stepping up to do this macro level community building I think has really bolstered a lot of Fedi content, and I feel that's crucial to all of us having continued success as a platform.

I've been trying to keep !nebula@lemmy.world alive but it only has 356 members — if you use nebula or you watch any YouTubers like jet lag: the game, Todd in the shadows, any number of Breadtubers, it would be great to have more posters over there! You don't necessarily need the streaming service since most of the content goes on YouTube as well.

!taskmaster@feddit.uk is small as well but should hopefully be a bit busier with the new series starting tonight, it also has a user pretty much single handedly keeping it alive with posts from the official YouTube channel but it's still a bit quiet for comments.

omg I had no idea! I was doing that early on but I got tired of it and stopped checking. Looking forward to the new Jet Lag season!

Well, that does it. I'm starting an indie music community.

We already sort of have a couple but most of what's on there is people posting songs and not getting any comments. I'll try to get that oldschool fanclub vibe going. That deep cut bootleg vibe.

EDIT: Done it. And now for a lifetime of posting stuff and hoping someone notices lol

Might I invite everyone to use the Scaled sorting algorithm to see more of what the small communities have to offer! To avoid the firehose, you can default your feed to Subscribed and then liberally sub to the communities you like or might like. Then once a day or so switch to All+Scaled or All+Top Day to see what you might have missed and perhaps make some new community subs.

Please help those people out if you enjoy the communities!!

[–] teft@piefed.social 10 points 1 month ago (4 children)

A lot of those types are just reposting reddit’s top content. Or copying from facebook.

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 13 points 1 month ago

on the bright side, now I don't have to look at reddit or facebook.

besides, that's why I like fedimemes, bc it's usually fediverse-original.

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 month ago

I used to be critical of this but I've come around because:

  1. Creating memes takes ideas/time.
  2. My ideas are wacky and untested.

So I might spend 20-60 minutes making something only for people to hate it. (This happened a lot more often in the beginning because I was bad and my ideas took a lot of photo editing.) I still make memes when I think the idea is worth it. Of course, I could just pander to what I think people want to hear, but I make memes for more organic reasons than that.
