    Is it too late to avoid perpetuating the Reddit culture of adding “Porn” to titles of Fediverse communities?

    As you can see in your title and description for this post, you have to stop and reiterate every time that your community is safe for work. It’s just bad branding.

    Why not:

    sublimeguitars

    stunningguitars

    pureguitars

    guitar-awe

    Woah, imagine niche communities of incredible photography that all use -awe, as a suffix. And then there’s an accompanying sister community with -aww as a suffix.

    Could have everything cute that features a guitar and a puppy or whatever in guitaraww. And stunning guitar gear and photography in guitarawe.

      I’ve honestly never had that much of a problem with the terminology. They’re communities for posting titillating and visually stimulating pictures on a theme. Pictures of desirable things - often out of reach for us average people - that provide pleasure just by looking at them. That’s pretty close to porn, no?

      Maybe I’ve just not grown up in an environment that stigmatised porn enough to get the objection?
