Can someone explain to me what the hashtag is used for? Was it a typo and ppl kept using it or is there a different meaning behind it.

Just curious

@Patti1120

Food porn was a thing back when Twitter first got pictures where folks posted in insane detail every morsel they consumed.

Porn used to be nannybanned on a lot of social media, so pr0n was substituted to skirt the filters.

Hence, foodpron.

@Cosmichomicide OMG thank you for explaining this. I don’t think I would have ever figured that out lol. So I will use both hashtags going forward lol

@Patti1120 Nah it's just a "thing". I think once upon a time, on other platforms with automated moderation, folk spelled "porn" as "pr0n" to maybe get around it, and so when it came to sharing food pictures, foodpron was a natural progression. So now there is both and and either is acceptable.

@stueytheround I never would have figured that out honestly lol. Thank you for explaining.
