Thank you very much.

What I was thinking was perhaps something similar to Lemmy, or Pixelfed, or etc., with instances hosted by different people?

Each instance could potentially host different gif types, i.e one instance would carry all sad gifs, another all happy, yet another all queer gifs, etc., and users would be able to search through the entire platform using a united search, perhaps something similar to Peertube’s Sepia Search, that allows users to find the gif(s) that they are looking for.

I do engage.

I just happen to have a busy life.

I just like to toss out ideas that I think of for other users/potential developers to potentially use, if they wish to.

@iso@lemy.lol

It says that the link is invalid

I’m already aware (and active) on LemmyNSFW.

What I was imagining though, was a platform like Peertube or Lemmy, only JUST for NSFW.

Kinda like having Pornhub, but decentralized.

Sex Workers could have their videos/stories/etc. on there, and perhaps use either payment apps like:

PayPal,

Cash App,

etc.

to enact transactions.

Perhaps call it something like BlueTube (because Blue Balls), or something similar.

I added links to the spaces.

But, basically, they’re spaces for Pagans, Wiccans, Witches, etc.

Places where they can practice their beliefs/religions without harassment.

Well, at least without having to use usernames, etc.

I already know that I am being tracked by the government, etc.

Key Differences Between 4chan/8chan and a Lemmy Community

4chan/8chan (now 8kun):

• Type: Imageboard websites where users create and moderate their own boards.
• Structure: Each board is independently run by a board owner with minimal site-wide moderation.
• Content: Known for a wide range of content, including controversial and often unmoderated discussions. These sites have been linked to hate speech, conspiracy theories (like QAnon), and have faced criticism for hosting illegal or harmful material.
• Anonymity: Users typically post anonymously; there is little to no user account structure.
• Moderation: Very limited, mostly left to individual board owners, which has led to significant issues with illegal and harmful content.

Lemmy Community:

• Type: Part of a “federated” social platform inspired by Reddit, where users create topic-based communities (similar to subreddits).
• Structure: Each community is moderated by appointed users, and rules are typically clearer and more strictly enforced than on imageboards.
• Content: Focused on discussion, link sharing, and community engagement, with a strong emphasis on moderation and decentralized control.
• Anonymity: Users have accounts and can build reputations, though they can still use pseudonyms.
• Moderation: Community-driven moderation with platform-level tools to prevent abuse and illegal content.

In short: 4chan/8chan are anonymous, minimally moderated imageboards with a history of controversial content, while Lemmy communities are user-moderated, account-based discussion forums with stronger moderation and decentralized control.

Ahh… Thx.

I just checked Evil Wafrn, and now I’m confused.

What is the difference between Wafrn, and “Evil Wafrn”?

is it just a different Wafrn instance?

Is it a completely different and separate Fediverse platform?

I attempted to log into “Evil Wafrn” using my regular Wafrn login and that failed.

Thank you very much.

Out of curiosity, why DO people dislike bots here?

Not that I am such a major Bot user, but I feel like they could defeated be helpful, as well as add some variety.

Thank you very much.

Plus it’s open source, and Andrew has explicitly stated that he doesn’t mind if other people steal the idea and use it.

Thank you very much.

I thought of it when I noticed that Lemmy doesn’t host GIF’s or Videos natively.

When i asked around, the people who I asked kept recommending me PeerTube and Pixelfed.

But, at least IMO, while still great Fediverse Platforms, not that great at hosting media for other platforms.
