Ads can deliver viruses, many ads are animated or have sound, or both. If every ad were static and safe, I wouldn't mind so much... but alas, that's not a thing. So AdBlock it is!

As far as I know, there is an option to only federate with whitelisted instances. It kinda breaks the whole idea of being a federated network, still doesn't entirely prevent "bad" posts from reaching your instance, and I don't know of any specific instances that do it.
Yes, mainly because there aren't many instances where you can reach every other instance. FMHY is nice in that regard, but if the mainstream instances defederate from it, I may have to do the same. Really hoping that won't happen, but it seems inevitable.
Sure, but some places do have more influence on the public discourse than others. Lemmy will remain relatively uninfluential until it becomes more user-friendly, and/or more well-known. So any left wing stuff here is going to have less of an effect than it did on Reddit or other such places, for now.
I agree. A thing can be sensitive content for more than one reason at the same time.
I agree that the de-federation and attitude is worrysome, but I disagree on your stance towards more tags. Servers that disallow NSFW now, might choose to allow NSFW but not porn. Servers that allow NSFW now, are likely to keep allowing both. Servers just don't want to deal with liability and weird protocol quirks showing people stuff they don't want, so they'll ban any category that's likely to include stuff they don't want. More fine-grained tagging means they can ban a smaller selection of things.
I'm all for various kinds of tags to indicate why someone might not want to view certain content.
Interesting style! Reminded me of Jollyjack at first. I feel like you two have a similar use of colour and exaggerated shapes. The meme is funny too, of course.
In general on Reddit, no. Maybe on r/pics, but that seems unlikely. I just checked my comment history and the very first thing I saw (latest comment) was on a post titled "How do you guys generate conflicting characters?" on r/StableDiffusion.
The Onion, I think?
Okay, this is a good article. I was on the fence about Meta, wondering how they'd cause any damage, and this article cleared that up for me.
That long borzoi snout has been a meme for quite a while now, often accompanied by a "let me do it for you... kermie", a snippet from a Muppets show where Miss Piggy sings to Kermit, at a high pitch.
Just look at that wasp waist. Come on, you know she's hot.
