Many of the exaggerated stories are fiction. But there are plenty of Redditors posting pictures of things they saw locally and other information which some could consider sensitive.
Based on your question I thought you were referencing subs like confessions, AITAH etc. Not pics of dumb animals or kids.
Don't get me wrong, I was referencing those too. In general, when I visited Reddit there were a lot of personal stories and pictures. These can often provide a unique pov which is not found in the news.
Lemmy is more a forum where people discuss the news. The comments are far more advanced and interesting than Reddit. But because people (including me) are far more privacy minded, I feel like they rarely post personal experiences. This might be an unfixable dillemma.
I just assume they meant the cum box
