Something I WONT miss from Reddit/other social medias (beehaw.org)

Like most other people here, I originally came here from reddit. Ive been having a blast so far, and I much prefer the forum-style of this. After about a week of using Lemmy I realized there was something intrinsic to reddit that Lemmy doesnt have. And I wont miss it. Too many people on reddit were way too horny. I was really annoying, but Lemmy seems way more chill. Plus its refreshing knowing that the people on here arent all bots.

I'm asexual, through & through. It's understandable that sex / sexual content is inevitable in such a wide open space, but on R×ddit, it's become absolutely constant and inescapable! To the point where non-sexual things are being sexualized, and it's just become genuinely unnerving and gross.

I want to stop seeing posts commenting on everyday objects and being like "Damn, I'd fuck that!", as if anyone truly wanted to know that. Ever. Ick.

It's pretty eye opening to read this. As someone with a fairly high sex drive, I live every day with my body constantly demanding I have sex. It's not a difficult urge to keep in check, but it is pretty constant.

I think the humor you're talking about stems from that constant battle. No one (well someone, but not most people) would actually have sex with whatever inanimate object is being posted. Its just making light of that constant urge most of us face.

But I totally get how that could sound disgusting if you don't share that experience. I will try to keep that in mind for the aces out there.
