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.

Is it? It's happened before, and it's the sort of thing where you can't be reactionary towards it because once it's happened you've already lost.

It's a tough line to toe for sure, I'm not envious of the position you're in. History definitely shows that it (content, speech, bans/censorship) has happened in the past. I don't think (with competing ideologies) a clear line where X topic is too taboo/far leaning where it needs to be banned, can be drawn. I don't have quite the pulse on the communities that I can speak to the danger of something like this happening. As such, I trust the moderation to make that call. If it's a danger to the overarching notion of freedom of speech, fuck em, take them to the grindstone.

I'm definitely a little jaded and probably a little more sensitive to it because of some of the overreaching that has happened in the past. It starts with one thing, then another, and another and all of a sudden a forum turns into an echo-chamber, which is my primary concern.

With all that being said though, I'm probably being overly pedantic on the specific topic and loli content being banned isn't a hill I'm willing to die on, lol.

BTW, thank you for the great conversation that's happening in this thread. It's really a longshot from reddit. It also cements my concern for the creation of an "echochamber" even further.
