Why do you prefer Lemmy over a booru-style imageboard?
  • A booru-style imageboard, often referred to as a "booru," is a type of internet forum that focuses on the posting of images, often alongside text and discussion[1]. The name "booru" is derived from Danbooru, which was the first site of this type[2]. Booru-style imageboards are characterized by their non-hierarchical semantic structure, where users can post content, add tags, annotations, translations, artist commentary, and comments[1].

    Unlike traditional imageboards, such as 4chan, where images are posted in threads and may be deleted after a short period, booru-style imageboards are essentially tag-based image archives[2]. This means that images remain in place indefinitely unless deleted by moderators[2]. Booru-style imageboards are often centered around anime and related content, but they can also cover a wide range of topics[2][3].

    Some examples of booru-style imageboards include Danbooru, Gelbooru, and Moebooru[4]. These platforms allow users to browse, search, and share images related to various anime, manga, and video game franchises[5]. Booru-style imageboards have gained popularity due to their unique curation process and the ability for users to contribute to the organization and categorization of content[6].

  • Why do you prefer Lemmy over a booru-style imageboard?
  • The pros I see for Lemmy are a better platform for discussion, and the posts are ranked by votes. However, the cons are that the content isn't tagged, and many times it doesn't even provide the source.

    Lemmy also offers a greater variety of content, including not only images but also stories and audio.

    If there was a booru that ranked content by votes, I would probably have gone there, but as it is, I think Lemmy is better.

    Where do you download porn?
  • I download porn from bunkr and simpcity with CyberdropBunkrDownloader and from other websites like pornhub, spankbang, xvideos and xhamster with yt-dlp. I consume it locally using stashapp that has a deduplication tool and it also tags automatically the scenes that other people have tagged in stashdb, which is a crowdsourced metadata database similar to ThePornDB, Data18, IAFD and Indexxx.
