It is a religious thing. I grew up fundamentalist Baptist and then softened up into the Evangelical world before leaving Christianity behind, and this was very common for both parents to use to get reports and see if their children were looking at porn and for men who had gotten caught or admitted to struggling with porn or cheating to have another man as an “accountability partner” and give access to his internet history through this program.

The software came up during the Josh Duggar trial because his wife had put it on his computer before either his cheating or his other inclinations became public knowledge.

I wonder about relationship advice and if just a general /advice community would be good right now, until the user base grows to the point that more specific communities would be needed.

I was wondering if someone was going to create a good fundiesnark community and if there would be enough interest here to keep it up.

I lurked more than posted on those communities because I’ve seen how toxic they can easily become and was turned away by some of the drama or when the snark started focusing on personal characteristics but, having been raised fundamentalist, there were also a lot of really relatable threads where others would share similar experiences (and the snark communities were always much more active than the survivor/former communities).

Maybe I’ve been around too long but it seems like a decade or more ago the average Reddit user would be exactly the type of person who would migrate to Lemmy in the face of something like this.

I know Reddit has gotten much larger and it seems like it’s got a lot more generic over time but do you really feel like the user base as a whole has changed enough that This move won’t impact the feel of the site as a whole, as well as their bottom line?
