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.

just because it might be legal doesn’t mean it’s okay.

And WHO decides what's ok? This is where you are wrong. If it's legal then it's ok to have it. I don't have to like it, but just as I only browsed my own frontpage on reddit with subscribed subreddits in a few days I will have all the communities I need or want and just prowse that exclusively. What someone is posting or liking on communities I do not see is irrelvant to me, obviously, as long as it's legal.

There is NO room for moral policing here.

That's cool and all, but if one user on my instance subscribes to some pedo community that I don't block it will show up in the "All" feed of my instance. For all users.

So me, I decide. If you want an instance that allows pedo crap go find a different one.

I don't generally ban anything that's not illegal, but pedophilia and adjacent topics is one such exception.
