We should defederate from lemmynsfw (kbin.social)

The mods there have decided to allow underage looking content, skirting close to CP. Unless we want such disgusting stuff on our feed, I think we should defederate from that instance.

Pinging @ernest as well.

but the users of kbin.social shouldn't have to be looking at such content.

Idk, as kbin.social user I was not looking to such content until you mentioned it. And since I don't follow that instance I will not be looking to such content in the future

You do "follow" that instance because you are part of kbin.social which is federated with it. You could go in and block each of the magazines/threads from there or whatever the term is on Lemmy, and block the users you don't want to see content from, but kbin.social is federated with lemmynsfw, so that content has the ability to show up in your "all" or "random" feeds unless we defederate -which is the question being asked. So you very well could really l easily have that content in your feed in the best future

No, I don't. My starting page is https://kbin.social/sub so I only see magazines I'm subscribed to. And most often than not I have federation turned off, as I find duplicated content annoying and useless

Rather than blacklisting magazines I whitelist magazines and I only see the content I want.

Also, I removed the "random posts" section with uBlock origin (uBlock origin does more than just blocking ads, you can select and remove parts of a website entirely, by doing that the website work load is reduced and also loads faster), so this situation you describe:

won't happen

The only feature I really miss is having content ordered by "newest" by default (something I had on reddit using the third party app "Joey")
