    Do you guys realize how much 40% actually is in a single year? That’s crazy. Don’t just look at the 5.1%.

    I’m sure it’s heavily influenced by the Steam Deck, it being a great device for porn and all, but still.

        Well, been * ahem * told that a friend of a friend didn’t found any videos there were “Your friendly neighborhood geek goes into the house of a hot milf to upgrade her Windows 10 machine to Arch and she shows them how hot she found their Linux install skills and how thankful she is”, so that seems unlikely.

    I am very suspicious of the -26% Apple marketshare. It makes me feel like there’s more to this than it seems at first. There’s no way 26% of Apple users stopped using Apple devices within a year.

    Edit: maybe it could be caused by a large user base increase that shifted the demographics, but this fast? And the PornHub bans across US states started only this year for the most part if I’m not mistaken, so it shouldn’t affect this data?

      2024 was the release of iOS 17.4, when Apple allowed third party browsers to use their own engine instead of WebKit/Safari as a layer beneath. So it could very well be that Firefox Mobile and Chrome Mobile on iOS don’t get registered as iOS Device in this survey due to their user agent.

        No browser uses a different engine yet (presumably because Apple only allows them to offer this in the EU).

          I was gonna say, I haven’t heard of any rewrites yet, and it is probably GDPR or some similar regulatory compliance.

        Even if true, that would only explain the difference for mobile users and not the decrease in mac os use.

        I don’t think third parties engine-based browsers are even available for iOS, given that Apple only allows that for EU users.

        This is only for iOS and the user agent will still report the OS as iOS. For macOS it was always possible to run third party web engines.

          But we don‘t know how pornhub analyzes their data. All the other statistics don‘t support their statistic.

      They said in the report that they have grown marketshare in Asia and Africa, as less people use apple in those regions the percentage dropped.

    If they’re anything like me, it’s the old laptop that you’d install Linux on as an experiment.

    And maybe that laptop was only ah… Semi-retired at the time.

    Is anyone working at a FOSS and federated alternative to pornhub?

        Using something like PeerTube is potentially even worse because let’s say you unknowingly open a video where someone in it looks of age but technically isn’t. You as a user help propagate that content while you have it open. You’re not just downloading illegal content at that point. You’re actively sharing it to new people.

          You as a user help propagate that content while you have it open.

          I’m sure that’s a legal grey area that hasn’t been explored largely but I would think you would have to actually host the content or have it on your device locally.

            In a sense, you are hosting the content. You’re retaining a copy (so long as the window is open) and constantly attempting to spread it. It’s literally built on bittorrent protocols if I remember correctly, and it’s already very well established that you can be held responsible for seeding copyright infringing material, so I see no reason at all they’d give you a pass for CP instead. You may not intend to, but remember, my example was someone who looks of age but is not.

              literally webtorrents*

              it’s already very well established that you can be held responsible for seeding copyright infringing material

              Right, because you’re hosting it and distributing it. PeerTube is just like a window to non-local content (except for the local content, obvi).

        A single instance is not federated by itself. It requires multiple instances to be considered a federation.

        Just a little nitpick.

            Yes but the question was for a federated alternative. lemmynsfw is not a federation by itself. It’s only a part of a larger federation.

            You would need multiple nsfw lemmy instances which can then become their own federation. Or a separate federation software on top of ActivityPub.

      A Foss and federated alternative to onlyfans is more achievable I guess, because pornhub nowadays has to verify the owner of the content.

        Legal yeah, but it doesn’t stop … thousands? tens of thousands? of random porn sites. There’s no shortage of community driven porn at the moment. Federated solutions only seem to pop up when there’s sufficient non-legal censorship of community-driven content.
