censorship isnt the answer. its always abused by the party in power. so id rather have death threads, cp and genovidal remarks removed than letting my admins get burned out by every thing they dont like. im just sad that lemm.ee went this way. the fediverse is tiny compared to reddit and x but already breaking from the inside because people cant just fucking downvote, block users and scroll away. no every thing post gets put on the goldscale.
You don’t know what you are asking for. There are far more toxic people out there that you can possibly handle or imagine and even if you can do it (which I doubt) then majority won’t and they would just delete accounts and move elsewhere.
Even I cannot handle everything internet has to offer. Even me.
Don’t ask me what is there, you don’t want to know. We need to be sheltered because we aren’t psychopaths and that’s good.
There are things that make even most edgy wingcuck chuddy troll recoil with disgust. Even these people have contempt for this kind of content. Even they are sheltered from it by moderators on their stupid pro nazi sites.
I know them more than most here because I generally like to do sort of gonzo journalism around deep internet subcultures, and there is almost not a one platform without some kind of moderation, except for the few least human that harbour unspeakable things far worse than some civilised 4chan shock videos. That are a home to some users who actually do and film real-life things that strip them of any sliver of humanity.
And then they are somewhere there, between us, unrecognisable from your uncle Steven, doing groceries and picking kids from school. Maybe typing “:3” here under cat photos.
Go ahead and run your own instance, then.
Pretty closely mirrors my thoughts. Especially since Lemmy now allows users to block any combination of: users, communities, or entire instances.
You do realize that any big enough instance hosting cp WILL get in trouble with authorities, not to mention that no sane admin wants to host it anyway? And that by federating with those instances, you're hosting their content on your instance too.
