And there's no reason to assume modern reddit now is somehow less atheistic than early reddit.

I dont care for this point, I never intended to claim that it has less atheists now. I only wanted to describe how reddit started.

What I am getting at is that your insinuation that atheists spread child porn specifically is pretty baseless. If atheists are just as numerous on Reddit as a proportion of the userbase now as they were in the early days of reddit, and there's less child porn on there now - then they were obviously not the cause.

Moreover, I would guess that a majority of the Fediverse are atheists.

yeah i never made that point. I was vaguely mentioning the popular topics on the site at the time.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Okay then, you put 'atheists' alongside racists and child pornography which is what would get people's backs up.

[–] Auth@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, I can put atheist alongside racist and cp because the front page was full of atheist posts > Racist posts > CP. No this doesn't mean all atheists.

[–] Skavau@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago

I meant "alongside" in terms of "as bad".

They never made this point.

Your inability to read is showing.

They lumped in atheists with racists and child porn. It was easily misread as at least implying atheists are equivalent morally or as bad.

This is why people are saying you're implying.

Dictionary Definitions from Oxford Languages · Learn more INFORMAL noun 1. pornography. "hardcore porn" 2. television programs, magazines, books, etc. that are regarded as emphasizing the sensuous or sensational aspects of a nonsexual subject and stimulating a compulsive interest in their audience. "a thrilling throwback to the golden age of disaster movies—weather porn of the highest order" adjective pornographic. "a porn video"

And I stand corrected on my earlier

According to google /r/jailbait was, by definitin, porn

I do think most people thin of porn d overt sexual content though.

It was definitely easily misread though, I agree with that. Even though you didn't have to go to /r/all.
