Looks more like a community of horny people and other weird stuff. I immediately saw: - Someone who wants to be treated as a dog - Someone who listed their "new experiences" which included "getting fisted", "being fucked with a (fake) knife", "sleeping in a dog crate" and more. - Someone looking for sex WTF?

The biggest piece of feedback I think I have gotten from posting here is that the nsfw content is a bit shocking which I get. Sorry about that. My guess is that if you just scrolled twitter or whatever by new exclusively unfiltered you wouldn’t have that different an experience. On the one hand I do think there is something interesting about the rawness of this network but also some sort of smart nsfw filtering is cl…
Several US states now require age verification for adult content (I don't know how that is defined). A case challenging such laws is being considered by the US Supreme Court, but most experts believe the court will allow the age verification. That may mean users identifying themselves, which seems dangerous. (It should not at all be dangerous, but it is.) All you need is some phobic government official to sue or inve…
My previous employer used twohat to monitor for content dangerous to underage users, but I don't know if they were any good as it's not my area. It looks like they got bought by Microsoft as twohat.com redirects to a Microsoft product page now
As someone who isn't familiar with the norms of this community, the first few posts were somewhat surprising. I mean to say, they were overtly sexual and public. I have many trans friends and gay friends so I'm not saying I've never heard terminology like that, but it was usually in a closed conversation. I wonder if those are spam comments? It would be interesting to hear how you plan to guard against people who wil…
As a little bit of context, a lot of trans people (rightfully) view HN as a (white)-male dominated place, and feel misunderstood and misheard by the people here. A common defense tactic is to become _more_ sexually overt and grotesque than they actually are in reality. A lot of the other thirstposting is, from my experience, very much genuine and heartfelt. The trans community is often quite open. I'm personally tran…

Indeed. It's hard to believe that until relatively recently people thought that sexual attraction was fundamentally based in biology rather than identity.
Sexual attraction is fundamentally based in biology. Trans people are part of biology. It's what happens when you are exposed to cross-sex hormones. Personally, I tend to view (my own) transition as embracing an intersex condition with medical intervention.

But many trans women have no hormonal or surgical interventions at all. Are you implying that cis lesbians are not attracted to them?

> "Cultural appropriation" is a fancy way to say "I only want to learn from people just like me". Cultural appropriation is learning about things only from people like you, not from the people outside your culture who created it and who may have jarring perspectives and expressions of them. For example - just something I recently saw - lots of 1950s-60s rock musicians like Elvis and the Rolling Stones appropriated mu…
"To be fair, the RS apparently often toured with some of the original musicians as opening acts" What more would you like? These notes have been played this way before, therefor no other group will ever play them again? Yes, the exploitation of other (especially minority) cultures is an issue. And that's very much not how "cultural appropriation" is used any more - it's very specifically used as "this belongs to that…

Pedantic, but the word you're looking for is proxy , not VPN. A Virtual Private Network is a private network such as a Local Area Network created virtually on a Wide Area Network such as the internet. Tailscale, SoftEther, or Hamachi for the old boys are examples of VPN implementations. A proxy is a server that accepts and forwards traffic from clients through it, lending its IP address to clients as the traffic orig…
I think this ship has sailed. Services like nord or mullad are described as VPN products yet they are the products people are buying to route traffic into pornhub.
I suspect the root of the problem is that over time, "proxy" has become strongly associated with application-layer protocols like HTTP, and after that shift it wasn't obvious what to use for something lower-level that encompassed a wider range of protocols/endpoints/conversations. In principle, "tunnel" would probably have been better (and a legible metaphor to boot), but that's just not how things shook out in practice.
