The same people they've been fooling into voting for them for years. This is just propaganda speech delegitimizing the judicial process when they're held to account for their crimes.

Thanks for making my brain hurt

Sure, they could make it so that users have to use a third party image host, but that doesn't necessarily solve the problem. Their instance would still be hosting links to that material. That might give some degree of protection to the owner, but it still gets a bit sketchy and instance owners just don't want to deal with it it seems.

I suspect we'll see new Lemmy instances pop up now with am the attention is getting, so it's only a matter of time before a NSFW friendly instance appears.

Yeah, I didn't catch that before I joined. I wish I had, but I didn't even realize disabling a core feature would be on anyone's mind.

That's also a pretty weird stance considering that lemmy.one doesn't have many local communities by design. So the idea is to disable downvotes because lemmy.one is a small community when most of the interaction is with other servers that don't have features disabled?

It might be time to revisit that opinion with the current level of growth here. Or I might need to seek out another instance. Downvotes are a valuable part of self-moderating communities.

I tend to agree. While I haven't gone looking for NSFW friendly instances, all of the instances that I looked at before selecting one don't allow NSFW content pretty much for that exact reason. They don't want to deal with hosting and moderating it.

I've been rewatching voyager and that episode was pretty flippant about ending a life. It seemed so weird to me.
