Defederate lemmynsfw.com? (self.lemmyworld)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by CosmicGiraffe to c/lemmyworld
 

The admins on lemmynsfw.com have decided to allow "non-IRL loli", i.e. drawn porn involving children/teenagers. (Post: https://lemmynsfw.com/post/29633).

Irrelevant of the moral issues that this poses, such content is illegal in many countries (e.g the UK). Continuing to federate with lemmynsfw.com will put users at risk of significant legal repercussions.

Please would the admins consider defederating unless lemmynsfw change their policy.

UPDATE: The lemmynsfw admins posted an clarification here: https://lemmynsfw.com/post/29826. My original argument for defederating doesn't stand any more.

Edit: They've made an update claiming it was bad English. https://lemmynsfw.com/post/29826 - I think they should take a harder line but I will have to continue monitoring it to decide if I want to keep federating with them. Not a good look tho.

Original comment:

God damnit, I was glad there was an NSFW instance WHY did they have to go do some shit like this

Welp, as an instance admin I'm probably gonna have to defed them.

Those admins are fools. They say they're not into it, but don't want to prevent others from it.

Well guess what, it's like the Nazi bar thing. You can't just let them be. They're intolerable to most people so by not banning them your other customers will leave. Congratulations, you now run a Nazi bar.

I foresee most users on lemmynsfw leaving, and it basically just becoming a pedo site.

Except it doesn‘t seem to be true…

I don't know man i think Nazi were allowed to go crazy because most and/or influential people found it beneficial in the time and place. It didn't happened everywhere. Just as communism etc.

Not that it matters with banning NSFW content. I've never got why would people access that via forum anyway.
But i can imagine banning news for posting from sources that are not inline with admins visions or banning science and technology community for being very religious and vice versa if you know what i mean.

I wasn't making a statement about the spread of fascism across a society.

Ngl your bar analogy is one of the best descriptions of "free speech" platforms i've ever seen.

I'm all for free speech irl, where there are actual consequences for being a dick, but anonymity + total free speech online has ended in disaster every single time.

perversion or something idk.
