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.

If it "might be illegal" than there actually might be a legal responsibility to defederate. Federation is not links to content, it's mirrors of content, and anything you're seeing while browsing kbin.social is being hosted here.

Absolutely, I never said otherwise (I hope?)
But that's up to server admins - I don't even know where the servers are hosted right now. I have no idea what applies to them. I'd like to believe they are acting in good faith and following their local legislation.

What I meant with "might be illegal" is laws are different. Iceland and Iran have very different views on illegal content. And it might be that the content that is illegal in Iran, isn't actually illegal in where ever the servers are hosted.

We all have to make sure we follow the laws of the country we live in.
So we need tools to handle those situations (like the situation in this thread)
