I've been talking with @[email protected], and we agreed it would be best to discuss this as a community. What are all of your thoughts on defederating instances with loli and shota? My thoughts will be posted in the comments.

It's moreso that when you join VLemmy it presents you with content from all of the communities we federate with, including the loli/shota communities. Some nations (I think Canada has been mentioned) with very strict anti-CSAM laws could potentially, therefore, block VLemmy's domain because of illegal redistribution. However, I am not a lawyer, so I don't know for sure.

What I'd wish for as a feature is for the instance to be able to set a default blocklist of "objectionable" communities and allow users to override it if desired on an individual basis. Have the best of all worlds that way, and it feels like something that's going to end up being a feature eventually anyways.
