Its weird you folks are hyper focused on racism and sexualization of kids when im talking about allowing a fricken picture in a lawncare sub. If only mods wouldnt power trip youd actually have a solid point.
I'm an admin of an instance and the reports I see from our users on "unmoderated" communities haunt me to this day...
I can 100% guarantee you that any community that has zero to no moderation WILL turn into a Nazi and CSAM cestpool.
There is no if, only a when...and that when is answered with "very quickly"
The point is those things would be there pretty much immediately.
Just today I got a report of someone spamming a picture of a woman eating a shit. That user was banned.
Now imagine no one banning those people - everyone would be getting the picture.
So basically people just suck ass and ruin it for all the normal people... got it.
Hello, welcome to the internet.
Rather the world...
See the "so that's why we can't have nice things" law.
Pretty much, yeah.
You don't need your own server/instance to start a community. Find an server/instance and start your community. As long as you don't break instance rules the admins shouldn't mess with you.
