Who censored the beautiful nipnips of poor ~~Sisyphus~~Atlas?

[–] Okapi@lemmy.zip 40 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (3 children)

If female nipples are still considered obscene, the same rules should apply to everyone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 73 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I feel like the argument "If some people are wronged, everyone should be wronged!" has some flaws.

[–] Okapi@lemmy.zip 38 points 6 days ago (3 children)

It's rather meant to show the absurdity of censoring female nipples (in a small sidenote)

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 57 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I would propose censoring female nipples with male nipples then. Since the latter need not be censored.

[–] Gnugit@aussie.zone 12 points 5 days ago

This is perfect

[–] livejamie@lemmy.zip 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Hips and nips, otherwise I'm not eating.

Gotta make it sexy!

[–] RaccoonBall@lemmy.ca 68 points 5 days ago (2 children)

The nipples are censored. Does this imply they're girlboobs?

[–] stickly@lemmy.world 30 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I had a great Sissy-phus joke lined up until I realized that's probably Atlas

Did you blur out his titties or what?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 4 days ago

atlas titan titties.

Them Titan titties are notoriously seductive. Can't have the horses sppoked.

Thank my lucky tuppence that those smashing knockers are pixelated or I would've spaffed right all over bloody Trafalgar Square and what a kerfuffle that would have been

You are an animal content machine! If I see an animal that I didn't post, I usually expect to see your name under it. 😄

I wonder if the internet culture of sharing has died off somewhat. Old guy here. Are people are so used to consuming they forget about sharing? Or maybe it's just the type of person who uses the internet today is inherently more consumer then early adopters?

In my day a big appeal of the internet was to share things. But now it is to consume things.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

When people share they often receive highly negative feedback. Peraps a misspeling or an incorect punctuation And when that outweighs the good responses, either numerically or severity speaking, then it has an effect to curb the desire to post.

Also why bother working hard when someone else will just respond to what you wrote with "I know you are but what am I" or "that's what your mom told me last night", and receive 10x more likes than the content that required actual effort.

It is the same reason that such drivel has taken over television and movies, and fast food places abound around the world - people sell what others will buy, even independently of involvement of actual money and rather of attention.

A fantastic article describing this phenomena: https://medium.com/@max.p.schlienger/the-cargo-cult-of-the-ennui-engine-890c541cebcb. TLDR it's a race to the bottom. Lemmy was supposed to be different, but there were too many structural issues and now people are either leaving or or going more to quiet consumption mode. PieFed offers me more hope to help fix things, if people want to put in the effort required, because now at least the burden of making changes has been greatly lessened with its ability to make code changes more quickly (since it is written in Python rather than Rust).

[–] n0respect@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That is a fantastic article, thank you. I don't know if there is a way around the ennui engine, not without massive systemic changes; seems like it's part of human nature. It seems pretty rational too, from an animal-brain point of view ... to take a sure win right now instead of a maybe-win later.

It's unfortunate that this feeds so many people's anger cycle. I wonder if that's cultural.

It's damn hard to get other people to post. Every so often I like to go around and find smaller communities to share content to.

Might I invite everyone to use the Scaled sorting algorithm to see more of what the small communities have to offer! To avoid the firehose, you can default your feed to Subscribed and then liberally sub to the communities you like or might like. Then once a day or so switch to All+Scaled or All+Top Day to see what you might have missed and perhaps make some new community subs.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.zip 20 points 5 days ago (3 children)

!fedigrow@lemmy.zip for people interested to see how it is to grow a community, week after week

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Well, that does it. I'm starting an indie music community.

We already sort of have a couple but most of what's on there is people posting songs and not getting any comments. I'll try to get that oldschool fanclub vibe going. That deep cut bootleg vibe.

EDIT: Done it. And now for a lifetime of posting stuff and hoping someone notices lol

[–] roserose56@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (4 children)

Do tell us!(Including me, when possible) But no guys, keep posting USA political news, political memes, what Trump said and downvote any athletic, music and ASMR post just because it's not about USA or political, and then complain how niche communities are dead.
Don't forget to downvote this comment too, it's not political.

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

People should just block communities they don't care about instead of downvoting posts from those communities in the all feed.

I've been trying to keep !nebula@lemmy.world alive but it only has 356 members — if you use nebula or you watch any YouTubers like jet lag: the game, Todd in the shadows, any number of Breadtubers, it would be great to have more posters over there! You don't necessarily need the streaming service since most of the content goes on YouTube as well.

!taskmaster@feddit.uk is small as well but should hopefully be a bit busier with the new series starting tonight, it also has a user pretty much single handedly keeping it alive with posts from the official YouTube channel but it's still a bit quiet for comments.

Such a wholesome thread. 🥰

Never noticed that phenomenon anywhere else

Most of us (posters, commenters, voters and lurkers) know why we're here and why we need to do the work. We've been on so many platforms and gotten shafted. Many of us now know why and what needs to be done to avoid that for the long haul.

Lurkers, step up your voting duties!
