    So since Deviantart, Imgur, and Tumblr died by banning porn, he’s hoping X will come back to life!?!?

      No thanks, the fediverse is better at it, with way less nazis and tankies, those that are here are in their own containment zones.

      X is… dead? That’s news to me.

      As of 2023, there are approximately 556 million active monthly users on X. As of April 2024, X receives around 6.1 billion visits per month.Apr 25, 2024

      What… reality do you live in?

        I think it’s more a twitterix is dying thing, as user count was declining last time I checked.

          I could be wrong, but I thought Elon had a campaign to eliminate bots from X? Not sure if that ever took place though or if it’s in the process of.

            Cool.

            But until you call tell me how many bots, your claim isn’t evidence that it’s actually as active as you imply it to be - at least by humans.

    I thought they were already allowed… There’s tons of adult performers already on there showing full frontal nudity and pornography.

      It had no specific rules for it or against it. It was just a secret rule that you could upload on it. Now it’s official ig.

      Hey now, you’re allowed to call any blue-haired middle aged liberal democrat you want a fascist. And by all means, insist anyone who believes in climate change is a religious nut job. Elon won’t stop you.

    As much as X can get bent The eradication of human sexuality from mass media culture is a clear sign of intense rot at the heart of our civilization. How can such a fundamental element of thr human experience can be so conspicuously absent for almost all art and media. A clear sign of the omnipresent censure and purge of dissenting opinion in our supposedly “free” society.

      What are you talking about? Heaps of movies have sex scenes. Heaps of songs are about sex. There are heaps of books and other stories about sex. The internet is packed with sex stuff of all kinds. Advertisements in the street are obvious implicitly or explicitly about sex. So how can you say that sex is ‘conspicuously absent from almost all art and media’? Are you looking?

      Allowing explicit porn on twitter doesn’t make it ground-breaking in any way. It just changes the tone and target audience of the site, such that you will now see porn inserted into basically any conversation or topic.

        I should have clarified, freely available mainstream media and art. I don’t watch ads so I can’t say for sure, I don’t consider advertising to be part of art and media, more like a form of pollution on top.

        From what I’ve senn tge most you might get are suggestive allusions to sex. It’s just not treated as the everyday part of life that it is.

        By comparison, it is entirely overshadowed by violence and gore.

        I don’t engage with it so I’m only getting whatever the default is :)

        My school releases the buses and notifies people on Twitter. If not for that I wouldn’t be there at all

      Cunt talks just like trump and other right wingers.

      “We do it best. By far. No one can compare to us. We do it better than anyone.”

      Which is always a lie.

        It also exploits repetition bias, which I’m sure is 100% intentionally coached into these fucks

      Adult content has always been defacto allowed on Twitter AFAIK. That’s why the headline uses the word “explicitly”. They’re just making it dejure allowed.
