I've not been here long, but I'm curious how users who were present before the reddit drama feel about any potential changes to the content and tone of discussions.

It used to be much more dominated by the tanky rethoric of the devs, and most discussions were around FLOSS/Privacy. Now it's much more diverse.

Also, lots of porn. I kinda wish it were possible to completely block instances as a user. If I understand it's on the roadmap.

I actually hasn't see any porn when from the browser... Only when I decided to download an mobile app I got flooded by a lot of NSFW... I wonder why... Maybe the lemmy.world itself doesn't have much porn, but what is "hot" and "active" in other instances it is? That explains why going directly in to https://lemmy.world/ they doesn't show up.

I think NSFW content is fully hidden by default, but then it depends on your app/account config.

I don't want to fully block it because some NSFW is not porn and is worth seeing.
