This may be an unpopular option since I've already seen it across lemmy, but the ____porn communities. I'd like to browse pictures of nice landscapes or exotic cars without worry about someone around me noticing "PORN" on my screen.

At this point it seems very old internet, something that made sense when those communities were established, but now is unnecessary gratuitous and not socially acceptable.

    I saw a post about a community created here called "pixel passport" which I thought was a hell of a lot better that "earth porn."

    EarthPixels. CarPixels. PornPixels. HistoryPixels. This could work.

    Voat, when it was still around, had this same discussion and settled on using _Pix for everything.

    What a wild site that was, some real loons were on it, but I did appreciate the fact it wasn't so overly moderated. At the end though it just felt like a sanctuary of hate that had driven out most of the sane people.

    Damn, I had forgotten how obnoxious that was on Reddit. Blocked all of those years ago because it was just unnecessary and a gross way to qualify otherwise unremarkable photos.

    Funny enough, the first time I heard someone use ___porn IRL (outside of all the 90s surf/skate/ski videos i Grew up with which were always called a porn)

    was a chef I used to work for, back in 2001-2, l woman in her 50s at the time. Who would refer to 'food porn all the time.'

    'OH we need a new salad for the spring menu- "go look at that stack of food porn (industry magazines and Michelin restaurant cookbooks) for inspiration"

    Or "make me one of the swordfish special, but do it up for some food porn"

    I guess its one of those terms that I dont really think of as dirty, or professional inappropriate anymore.

    Nothing like someone peaking over your shoulder and seeing you're browsing r/AnimalPorn....

    I totally agree with you. Hopefully lemmy can be a little more mature with community names. (Yeah, yeah.. I know the hypocrisy of my username.. It's my gamertag)

    I agree, but I also think that porn should still be welcome here. The issue is there needs to be better control over it entering the feeds, not that the communities themselves should be abolished.

    I think the above commenter is referring to stuff like EarthPorn or FoodPorn or UnixPorn
