Edit: just to be clear, I'm only talking about lemmy.blahaj.zone here. If you're coming from Kbin or some other instance, this won't affect you.
I have nothing against porn in general, but LemmyNSFW is a firehose of NSFW content, some of it offensive or toxic, and the admins seem to be shaky on whether they're prepared for the content. It's started showing up in my /all/ feed now, and I'm worried.
Essentially the entirety of Lemmy's porn is getting uploaded to one instance, and I am not at all confident in their ability to moderate it. The idea of a massive instance like that that's still so young and untested and still trying to figure out whether they are going to allow underage content or not being allowed on my feed makes me really uncomfortable. I could just disable NSFW, but not all NSFW is porn and not all of it comes from that instance.
In addition to the lack of moderation, things I've seen that seem to be allowed include: misogyny, slurs for trans people, objectification, straight up rape...
They don't even have any system of verification for anyone posting on there so they could be spreading CSEM or revenge porn into people's caches unknowingly. There's a potential legal risk here too.
Defederating seems more than reasonable. LemmyNSFW is just way too lax on their policies. If people here want to look at porn, they can always make an alt account over there.
For now, deselect “show nsfw” in your user settings
Yeah, like I said in my post it sucks as a solution because the NSFW tag is used on other instances too for other reasons, but it'll have to do for the time being.
Does Lemmy/kbin use nsfw for spoilers like reddit does?
At least on jerboa it's blurred but it's very clear what you're looking at. I'd rather have a red box or something.
