Anyone moving their community from Reddit to Lemmy, please could you take the chance to dispose of the silly habit of using "porn" to refer to anything interesting?

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

So in this case it would be c/AircraftCrack in the new system?
C/OnlyPlanes
We're not on some profit driven page view dopamine binge here, whatever happened to just c/Aircraft ? If it's too boring for people I wonder how they cope in a library. Or maybe everything needs to get labelled "Awesome" there too like we're all 12?
There's a difference. The "porn" suffix was used to indicate it was a pictures/videos of cool and interesting instances of the thing. I'd expect AircraftPorn to be mostly images of cool planes, whereas Aircraft would be more like a forum for people to discuss their new Cessna.
alt.binaries.pictures.aircraft.porn
I'm not getting the hang of this am I?
c/AwesomeAirplanes would fit.
All of them on my account. Every. Single. One.
I went back for my hobbies, then deleted the account again yesterday.
The moderation is worse than ever and all my favourite subs have gone to crap.
For example every subreddit with Canada in the name, specifically personal finance Canada, investors Canada, etc are entirely politics posts now. I’m pretty sure a lot of them are bots.
There are a bunch of Canada subs that are all politically biased monocultures.
My hobby subs are all meme level posts or complaints.
It does not spark joy anymore. My favourite moderators got the boot from their subs and they never recovered.
I only ever visit the webversion now. There's no way in hell I'm downloading the app. I also don't have an account anymore and refuse to make one. But when I do visit, I often wonder why I bothered. The quality has gone so far downhill it's almost comical.
/r/startpages sort of. It was a fairly large subreddit that I was a mod for but we took it private for a really long time. Eventually I left and the one other mod set it to just private so it could be a bit of an archive.
/r/androidhomescreen was another fairly large subreddit that I was the mod of alone so it has stayed private. I also left that one but nobody has requested it lol
I thought most of the closed subs were forced back open by mass firings and replacement of the mods. I visit a couple of local subs but without an account so my view of Reddit isn't what you'd see as a member.
The big ones were, the ones that stayed closed were small enough that they didn’t care
I've repealed my own moderation permissions from [email protected] (/r/TalkingAngela) after closing it last month, before that I found that sub was owned by an inactive powermod
Next step - account deletion
One I used to run, /r/astrophotogramemes, is still private. Had about 1k subs before the protests. On /r/astrophotography we basically left it unmoderated for almost a year before new mods came in
/r/FloatingIsFun is still set to restricted. We only had about 500 members there at our peak. Somehow, a new post made it in on November 5, and I approved it. Otherwise, it's mostly frozen in time since June 2023. My own test sub /r/HitstunAdminPractice is still restricted too.
r/fdroid?
mine, uselessserver093
edit: restricted
