I'm against defederation in general. The thing I like most about this place is that we, the users, decide what to see and not to see. When I see stuff like that creeping up my feed I'll just block the specific community and be done with it. Defederating a whole instance won't just remove access to negative communities, but also to positive ones that may be on the same instance.
Others may disagree and I don't know about the legal side of these things, though.
I think this is what im leaning towards as well. Maybe instead of defederating we could educate and encourage people to block the content they dont like or find disturbing.
I like that idea. I'm not a fan of defederating because of poor moderation (beehaw). However I also don't really ever want to see or deal with blocking loli content. Imagine I'm on the bus and it pops up on my phone. Is that something that we really want to allow? I'm still on the fence it seems lol
I'm not sure if this is an option on Lemmy, but on Mastodon it is possible to hide a server's content from the global timeline and still have it accessible by followers. https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/moderation/#server-wide-moderation
I personally don't think it's the best solution (I'm in favour of blocking CSAM and those that encourage it) but it might be an agreeable compromise.
