So since Deviantart, Imgur, and Tumblr died by banning porn, he's hoping X will come back to life!?!?

StaySquared ,

X is.. dead? That's news to me.

As of 2023, there are approximately 556 million active monthly users on X. As of April 2024, X receives around 6.1 billion visits per month.Apr 25, 2024

What... reality do you live in?

Glad I got to see this comment before the Lemmy hivemind downvoted you to oblivion for posting data that contradicts their world view!

Wasn't the user count declining?

Zacryon ,

I think it's more a twitterix is dying thing, as user count was declining last time I checked.

Am I missing something here? I thought X/Twitter always allowed NSFW content.

It had no specific rules for it or against it. It was just a secret rule that you could upload on it. Now it's official ig.

As much as X can get bent
The eradication of human sexuality from mass media culture is a clear sign of intense rot at the heart of our civilization.
How can such a fundamental element of thr human experience can be so conspicuously absent for almost all art and media. A clear sign of the omnipresent censure and purge of dissenting opinion in our supposedly "free" society.

What are you talking about? Heaps of movies have sex scenes. Heaps of songs are about sex. There are heaps of books and other stories about sex. The internet is packed with sex stuff of all kinds. Advertisements in the street are obvious implicitly or explicitly about sex. So how can you say that sex is 'conspicuously absent from almost all art and media'? Are you looking?

Allowing explicit porn on twitter doesn't make it ground-breaking in any way. It just changes the tone and target audience of the site, such that you will now see porn inserted into basically any conversation or topic.

interdimensionalmeme ,

I should have clarified, freely available mainstream media and art.
I don't watch ads so I can't say for sure, I don't consider advertising to be part of art and media, more like a form of pollution on top.

From what I've senn tge most you might get are suggestive allusions to sex. It's just not treated as the everyday part of life that it is.

By comparison, it is entirely overshadowed by violence and gore.

Cunt talks just like trump and other right wingers.

"We do it best. By far. No one can compare to us. We do it better than anyone."

Which is always a lie.

bane_killgrind ,

It also exploits repetition bias, which I'm sure is 100% intentionally coached into these fucks

They should ban male nipples.

Can't wait for three days from now, when they roll that back in a panic.

I thought they were already allowed... There's tons of adult performers already on there showing full frontal nudity and pornography.

reddig33 ,

Does this mean in certain US states that you will have to provide ID in order to view X content?

Made me check for my home state of Utah. But looks like they require a "substantial portion" or 1/3 of content on a site to be porn. source Looks like we all need to get busy posting tits to twitter for the good of the children.

ZoopZeZoop ,

How long would it take to make it have above that threshold?

catloaf ,

Probably by morning.

sugar_in_your_tea ,

As someone in Utah as well, who exactly measures that? Can I get their job?

This appears to have only 30% porn, thus it's okay...

So you're saying all PornHub has to do is add a large non-fiction eBook library or something?

I don't think their enough books in existence to balance out that much porn.
