paradox

Discourse like this sucks. Of course they are free to defederate but presenting this server as a place that allows abusive material is a gross misrepresentation.

I’m assuming the post in question was the one of imcherryblossom. Two seconds of Googling shows that they are a OnlyFans/Fansly model and proves they are above age, and she pretty clearly looks it too imo.

Equating that post with essentially abuse doesn’t sit right with me. Especially when this server has done a good job imo of banning even borderline content while mod tools improve.

Some users here are acting entitled as fuck

The admins are not required to host your morally ambiguous content!

There have been communication mistakes and banning the former mod as they were leaving was crass. But the mod put them in a bad spot. The admins need to consider things like the age verification laws in the us that made pornhub block Virginia and other places to protect themselves and us users. Is the answer photo Id checks, I would be mad if it actually happened, should actually just geo block places like Virginia imho. I am not mad it was considered though.

Anyone who is mad about this should leave and host their own instances. Everyone else should wait for the admin teams actual announcement before making judgments

Funny thing is if you actually took 2 seconds to see you would see their host is hidden by their domain provider

Content that most people consider extreme needs to be opt-in for viewers. Eg I don’t want to see content like this in the new/active feeds. Of course users can block it, but I don’t think that’s enough. Think if a new user joins and sees the new feed filled with content they are uncomfortable with.

Lemmy really needs a way to filter sensitive communities so content like this can be hidden away from feeds/federation unless users explicitly want to see it.
