I just made an account in bluesky. And was greeted by lots of anime tits. Nothing against people’s preferences, but is this how businesses nowadays greet new customers? I mean, they are trying to build a twitter alternative, aren’t they?

Welcome to the internet! Half my lemmy community blocklist is to keep cartoon titties off my feed.
I mean, there’s plenty of anime pornography on the Threadiverse too. It’s just that sopuli.xyz, your home instance, isn’t federated with a number of hosts (and you may not be viewing its “all” feed).
Look at the “Blocked instances” tab. You’ve got stuff like:
https://kbin.burggit.moe/ (which I can’t seem to reach due to some sort of TLS issue, but burggit.moe proper has “Free expression, including the Loli/Shota/Cub variety, are welcome here!”, and I assume that this is a gateway to the same material). I definitely remember that burggit.moe used to deal with consentual-nonconsentual material and underage anime material, because it caused lemmynsfw.com to defederate from them.
https://ac.akirin.xyz/ I don’t know what content they truck in, and their front page doesn’t indicate it, but it looks like the scrolling URLs in the bottom contain a bunch of links to various Fediverse hosts that deal in underage anime porn, and the user icons seem to all be anime girls, so I’m assuming that that might be their thing.
Not going to do a complete list of the blocked instances there, just pointing out that even if you look at your “all” feed on sopuli.xyz, it might not be representative of the Threadiverse as an aggregate.
I mean, they are trying to build a twitter alternative, aren’t they?
Yes, exactly
I’ve never even thought to access BlueSky via anything but the ‘following’ tab. Wow!
Its twitter’s alt.
There’s different feeds you subscribe to, and you can disable adult content.
It is, if that’s what you follow.
Yes. Full of anime both porn and non porn varieties. Source - just signed up 5 minutes ago after reading about the twitter exodus yesterday. I never liked twitter and never used it. Was always a redditor. But bluesky content is all anime titties.
So was twitter, at least back when it was Twitter before Mr idiot face took over.
A lot of content creators were on Twitter because, especially after the tumbler thing, it became the one place they could promote their content. Obviously they couldn’t distribute it on Twitter but it was a good place for advertising themselves. So it’s not all that surprising that those people have moved over to the new alternative. They go where the audience goes.
Dude I browse the /r/all of Lemmy and have to filter out the NSFW because it is all just too much.
Any social platform without corporate influence will be filled with porn. After all…
True. On lemmy I have a long blocklist full of anime stuff.
Damn are there that many anime related communities on Lemmy? I feel like the vast majority would be instance specific e.g ani.social and pawb.social but nobody’s really browsing those if you aren’t looking for anime stuff
I browse all a lot to look for interesting new communities. Every now and then I come across a new community from ani.social, the NSFW instance or something, and on Voyager I can’t seem to block entire instances. I also don’t know if there’s a way to filter only the communities without blocking the users too, but as it stands, I may have to look for another app to block the instances entirely.
