as a person that came from the 3rd world country and new in fediverse environment, i genuinely would like to know about this.

edit: thanks for the replies! sorry, i literally don’t know the reason since i’m not a western lol. twitter/x is too biased especially when musk openly supports trump so i came here and seeing fediverse is mostly are harris or biden (when he’s still up for the candidate) supporters. don’t know about reddit tho, i only use reddit as a forum for linux and programming stuff.

    NNN communities also get downvote brigaded, even though the famous Internet challenge is largely apolitical.

      Nofap communities? How? It sounds like the most harmless thing

        It’s not even nofap, it’s no nut November. The former is a philosophy, the latter is a challenge.

        I think people downvote nofap here because it makes some arguments that really stretch the truth and feed into bigger lies. In reality, there’s nothing wrong with not fapping, but there’s also nothing wrong with fapping.

          Isn’t it moreso like alcohol? It can be abused but also can be in moderation?

            Yep. Although it’s hard to abuse fapping because you run out of sperm lol. It can be a big time waster though.

              Screws up your pleasure receptors. If you use porn, it can also mess up your attractions

                Never heard of the former, and you don’t need to use porn to fap. Porn addiction is absolutely a real thing though.
