Hello guys,

One of the great things about the fediverse is that we potentially bring back subreddits and communities that Reddit previously banned. Of course we want to avoid illegal or immoral or politically questionable stuff but I think the explosion in Lemmy’s popularity has created a unique opportunity under which we can bring back certain types of content that Reddit has banned over the years.

Like, I would love to see /r/WatchPeopleDie, /r/Gore, and NSFW deep fake porn to come back.

What sort of communities do you want to see make a comeback?

    I don’t think those things belong in a general-public forum service, but the same technology can be used to enable them for their fans without needing to expose the general public to them.

        Those guys still haven’t setup a deepfake porn community over there yet. But it’s still early, I’m sure someone will create and curate such a community.

      Well we don’t necessarily need to host it on this instance if the mods/admins aren’t ok with it, but I wouldn’t mind setting those communities up on another instance and perhaps advertising it for those interested in such content.

    I think deepfake porn is a bad call. Not only are you using nudes w/o the people’s permission to train the a.i. but you’re generating graphic content of people who don’t want themselves exposed like that

    I would like to see darknetmarkets make a comeback. There really isn’t a way to find any darknet sites without being told about it. shoplifting would be a good one too esp since that subreddit always discouraged people from stealing from small businesses/encouraged ethical stealing which I appreciate.

    I also think subreddits centered around conspiracies like pizzagate should make a comeback even though that doesn’t interest me personally.

    I’m flippant on cringeanarchy. Before it was taken over by trolls, racists, etc, it was actually interesting. I’d like to see something similar but I worry it invites the same fate

      Yeah, but not sure how some instance admins might feel about directly linking to the markets though. But the links aren’t that hard to find TBH, Dread’s address is on Wikipedia and they link to 8 markets on their site (once you get through registration and the CAPTCHA of course).

      I thought Chapo Trap House created their own site or something. Also I agree most subs were banned for decent reasons but I think some of the gore and porn subs were unfairly banned.

    some of those AIgen porn pics are weird, I swear I almost recognize some of them. not sure about the deepfakes, but presumably the nsfw instance would lap it up.
