De-federate from instances with loli (sh.itjust.works)

Can we get a consensus on whether our community should de-federate with servers that host loli? I personally think we should block them, and if that ends up not being the consensus here then I'll probably sign up on another server. I hope we can all agree to set that boundary though because I like it here and it seems otherwise pretty cool.

Please do not. Although I don't personally want to see lolicon stuff, many of the servers willing to host it have communities I want to interact with. For instance, burggit.moe is where the touhou communities went and is otherwise a pretty nice instance aside from loli communities.

It is content which, while understandably offensive to some, harms nobody. All fictional porn, no matter how deviant it is, is ultimately more ethical than real porn can be.

It should be up to users to block or hide instances with content they don't wish to see, and defederation should be reserved for communities that consistently cause interference, not for communities that simply have content which one disagrees with.

As I've pointed out in a few spots on this post: regardless of your moral stance, loli is considered the same as child porn by many government agencies. You may not be "harming" anyone, but you're harming the people that host and view that content in a criminal sense.

why are all of the touhou communites on there

like, that's weird; there's tons of lemmy instances that they could have been on, and kbin has a (very inactive) community as well

onto the point:

All fictional porn, no matter how deviant it is, is ultimately more ethical than real porn can be.

This may be true, but you can't blame many users for being really turned off by it; like I think it'd be perfectly acceptable if most people don't want to interact with an instance hosting that.

If you don't like that, then you might have to move to another instance tbh
