That happened to all porn, it got disgusting.
I want to see real people sharing their sexuality, not people faking it for money.

I think that a lot of toxicity on commercial socian networks comes from their need to increase engagement, so they tune algorithms for that. Which is usually agresive behavior.
Just by not having that sort of algorithms we will be better.
They did say "X milions of accounts were ACTIVATED in one day", not "created".
Another thing I never see anyone in US is talking about: If US veterans need so much help (and they really do), what is happening to people in counties they were fighting against? And those are not only soldiers, but whole families. Everyone ober there has witnessed same shit they did, kids, elders, moms...
That, actually, makes sense, it never crossed my mind.
More than that, it is trackers on which, probably, no one knows how much is worth.
I think we should try with opt-in ads.
And it would be on me if I want to donate money, or via ads or nothing at all.
After that we can see if that is enough or more active approach is needed.
We can even have an opt-in for NSFW ads, which would probably make more money. Most of the time I don't mind, it is just important that I can switch it off.
Even porn looks more boring, not sure if it's just me or content really suffered from all this.
I think that is because all those sites (youtube, twitter, facebook, reddit,...) are promoting "user engagement" or whatever they call it, so they made algorithms that promote it. Of course, that means they promote toxicity and agruments, easiest way to motivate people to comment.
So the whole network becomea unhealthy and toxic.
That's also the reason I am against federating with them.
Gentoo, obviously.
I use it since it works. But it also has up to date packages. Number of times I tried moving away from it and it is just not possible.
I use Mint on side-desktop (one with graphic card I use for gaming and deep learning) and while it is easy to use it also has old software, python is stuck on 3.7 or 3.8 so it is becoming unusable even.
Will gentoo give you some problems? Probably, but those are always solvable and you will spend less time on other stuff.
Simple as that, of some instances federate with them I will not use them.
We will have block list like with ads, if necessary.
And by commercializing it they would destroy it, since they will be promoting content that generates most clicks and everything will become agresive.
