Bluesky and Mastodon, for the average user, are G rated compared to the avalanche of smut on Twitter/X.

I haven't seen this.

Maybe you only run into that sort of thing if you go looking for that sort of thing?

Even if you accept this at face value (I don’t) note the problem: on Bluesky and Mastodon, you have to look for racy content and then follow it on purpose. It must be a deliberate, intentional choice. For the average user, my experience has been that Bluesky and Mastodon are, if anything, too tame and boring.

Whereas Twitter/X is pushing for whatever brings engagement, damn the consequences.

The top replies to any big viral tweet are Onlyfans models and other spammers.

I usually have to expand the "more replies" and often also the "probably spam" sections to see those.
