I appreciate that what other people in the fediverse is different to what I see - different instances, who they follow, etc.

I don't remember the last time that I saw pornography which was not CW'd.

I follow and interact with lots of lovely people who post such content *and I still don't see if unless I click to open their post*.

Conversely, several friends who do post sexual content here express how few boosts / interactions they get with that type of toot: neilzone.co.uk/2026/04/sex-and

Discussion of homophobia

This is a bit of a sub-toot.

And since the toot in question (not linked) was asking for .social to ban "homosexual pornography", I struggle to read it in a way which is not homophobic. I've no time for that, and will defederate their server and move on.

I suppose that I also read it in a manner coloured by my own experience, that pornography here is CW'd, and thus optional. The OP doesn't have to see it.

*sigh*
