atlas titan titties.
Them Titan titties are notoriously seductive. Can't have the horses sppoked.
Are Atlas' nips blurred? C'mon let me see the skittles don't be g greedy
Hips and nips, otherwise I'm not eating.
Gotta make it sexy!
Who censored the beautiful nipnips of poor ~~Sisyphus~~Atlas?
If female nipples are still considered obscene, the same rules should apply to everyone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I feel like the argument "If some people are wronged, everyone should be wronged!" has some flaws.
It's rather meant to show the absurdity of censoring female nipples (in a small sidenote)
I would propose censoring female nipples with male nipples then. Since the latter need not be censored.

The nipples are censored. Does this imply they're girlboobs?
I had a great Sissy-phus joke lined up until I realized that's probably Atlas
Missed opportunity with an At-lass pun

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
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.
When people share they often receive highly negative feedback. Peraps a misspeling or an incorect punctuation And when that outweighs the good responses, either numerically or severity speaking, then it has an effect to curb the desire to post.
Also why bother working hard when someone else will just respond to what you wrote with "I know you are but what am I" or "that's what your mom told me last night", and receive 10x more likes than the content that required actual effort.
It is the same reason that such drivel has taken over television and movies, and fast food places abound around the world - people sell what others will buy, even independently of involvement of actual money and rather of attention.
A fantastic article describing this phenomena: https://medium.com/@max.p.schlienger/the-cargo-cult-of-the-ennui-engine-890c541cebcb. TLDR it's a race to the bottom. Lemmy was supposed to be different, but there were too many structural issues and now people are either leaving or or going more to quiet consumption mode. PieFed offers me more hope to help fix things, if people want to put in the effort required, because now at least the burden of making changes has been greatly lessened with its ability to make code changes more quickly (since it is written in Python rather than Rust).
That is a fantastic article, thank you. I don't know if there is a way around the ennui engine, not without massive systemic changes; seems like it's part of human nature. It seems pretty rational too, from an animal-brain point of view ... to take a sure win right now instead of a maybe-win later.
It's unfortunate that this feeds so many people's anger cycle. I wonder if that's cultural.
Unfortunately I think the rage aspect is likewise biological, it being one of the most basal of all human desires. It often pops up as someone pursues pleasure and having satisfied those desires, next turns to the even more basal ones below that (e.g. video). Which makes sense evolutionarily bc those apes that do it are more likely to survive than e.g. complete pacifists.
That said, algorithms that specifically tap into that aspect of our animalistic desires feed forward that cycle, encouraging an ever-increasing amount, just like echo chambers decrease the allowable diversity of opinions (yes even here: just try saying that you like Windows and watch what happens, or that you enjoy driving a car, or eating meat, or in certain corners of Lemmy that you don't support Russia, China, or North Korea hard enough), and both of those combine to form the modern social media experience.
So, as with anything having a biological basis, I doubt that it will ever truly go away entirely, yet I do believe that it can be managed.
Do tell us!(Including me, when possible)
But no guys, keep posting USA political news, political memes, what Trump said and downvote any athletic, music and ASMR post just because it's not about USA or political, and then complain how niche communities are dead.
Don't forget to downvote this comment too, it's not political.
People should just block communities they don't care about instead of downvoting posts from those communities in the all feed.

Are people really suppressing posts on niche communities like this? I almost exclusively sort by post age or engagement rather than votes, and I'm on an instance that doesn't support downvoting. Downvoting isn't something I've thought about since my Reddit days.
Always speaking from my point of view and what I have seen during my time on Lemmy. I have see many posts about niche communities being dead, and I seen lots of posts getting downvoted right away, including my posts. Users wanted to a change from Reddit, yet they replacate it.
Downvotes are almost never used correctly. People think if something isn't for them, it deserves a downvote. An inevitable bit of Reddit culture that comes with that user base jumping ship. Nonetheless, it could only cause the death of a community if the people in that community don't choose to spend time there.
When I browse my subscriptions, it doesn't matter if the posts I want to see score too low on the vote scale to be discoverable in All. I'm going to see them, because they're what I came to see. I went looking for those communities, and curated my own feed. I think if more people went looking for stuff they want to see instead of letting their client show them whatever is doing well on votes, the votes wouldn't matter nearly as much.
4.8K posts in 2 years… I’m doing my part!
Loving your posts ickplant
Thank you!

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.
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.

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.
I never got into the fediverse when I first made this account because everything seemed to be from a few communities. Used Scaled this time and it's so much better!

me propping up the comment section
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.

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

Such a wholesome thread. 🥰
Never noticed that phenomenon anywhere else
Most of us (posters, commenters, voters and lurkers) know why we're here and why we need to do the work. We've been on so many platforms and gotten shafted. Many of us now know why and what needs to be done to avoid that for the long haul.
Lurkers, step up your voting duties!
