I did. I added a note but didn't want to edit what I originally said so readers have context on what I quoted wrong.

I was typing from memory. Now that you pasted the actual quote, I realize the word "adult" was there; so not intentional and I stand corrected. In any case, my point still stands that I think the conversation between the admins could've gone better. Maybe the lemmynsfw admin could've explained it another way; on the other hand, the blahaj admin seemed to just be looking for a reason to finally defederate and seemed like they already decided before the conversation even started.

I saw the drama unfold when I was browsing All. My 2 cents:

  • In terms of the content in question, the lemmynsfw admin was right. I believe the community they were talking about was c/adorableporn, which AFAIK is just naked women acting cute, not acting or implying they are underage. The blahaj admin seemed to have misunderstood the premise of the community.

  • On the other hand, the lemmynsfw admin didn't really explain it properly and some of the words they used didn't exactly help their justification. At one point the admin said they do not discriminate against a poster's gender, looks, age, etc. and used words akin to saying they do not discriminate against people who are "too young". Obviously that didn't come across well in the conversation with the blahaj admin. The community's rules also had some questionable wording ("child-like" is the term I believe they used), which the mods changed when it was pointed out. So all these things didn't really help their defense.

  • At the end of the day, it's the blahaj admin's lemmy instance, so they can do whatever they want and defederate if they wish. It's up to the users on the instance to decide if it was justifiable and if they are ok with losing access to the entire lemmynsfw instance because of a misunderstanding.

EDIT for transparency purposes: As someone mentioned in the replies, I missed the word "adult" in recalling the statement that mentioned "too young", so the admin did word it correctly. I stand corrected.

Ah yeah I think I remember that. They forced apps to only allow logged in users to see any nsfw content.

I just recently realized how important lumbar support is. I was on the couch watching tv and randomly decided to put a folded up blanket behind my lower back. Lo and behold it gave me a sense of relief I wasn't even aware I needed. I realized why my computer chair and my car seat are designed that way.

You used to be able to see nsfw on r/all. They only removed it recently when they started their plan of going public.

All the fuss and arguments between people who want to promote lemmy and the people who refuse to genereate more traffic for reddit and I can't even see the join-lemmy art with the entire thing zoomed out.

Wow Bunsenlabs. Now that’s a distro I haven’t heard in a while. lol. I used to have it on an old laptop many many years ago.

Because there’s no algorithm to curate what you see. You can find the same content in the mainstream platforms if you look hard enough, unless the platform explicitly blocks them (i.e. nsfw on Threads). On the fediverse, there’s no algorithm that pushes or deprioritizes content, so you see everything as it is, and it’s up to you to curate your own feed to your liking.

Any instance will do, that’s the beauty of federation.

I’d think someone who sharts often enough in their sleep to be worried should be worried regardless if they’re naked or not.

I use the old.reddit extension on firefox to force it. I haven’t been on there for a while now so not sure if it still works.
