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.

This is not about CSAM though. It’s about specific fetish (which isn’t illegal globally as far as I know)
ernest needs to worry about the legality of the server and his users holistically.
I need to worry about the content I’m browsing. Ernest can’t worry or know about local laws in every country. Hence, I need to be able to block domains that I deem unsuitable.

If ernest decides he needs to defederate to keep his users safe, then that’s fine by me, it’s his call. But I want to be able to moderate my own content (tools exist, but seem a bit buggy https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/118)

I think the larger point is that you can still block domains you don't want to see, but in this particular case defederation should happen. Both things can co-exist

Absolutely. If admins see the need to defederate, then go for it. I'm not going to object or leave because of it.
I just simply said, I personally don't have need to defederate - if - the blocking tools work.

Everyone else mileage may vary. Of course.
