if the bird has boobs it's an adult, clearly /s

@MxM111 sorry, I meant that /d/lemmy.ml shows threads by lemmy.ml users, even if they aren't in lemmy.ml communities. For instance, /d/lemmy.ml may show a kbin.social magazine/thread that happened to be posted by a lemmy.ml user.

@swarmosythe

yeah I was like wait you aren't mod here lol

DMCA is a legal thing, not a reddit thing. so it still applies. iirc the rule here is 1 degree of separation or obfuscated links.

but I was pretty sure shota was almost entirely dependent on one of the characters being in grade school or early middle school?

nope. loli/shota don't refer to age.

"Loli" can be ambiguous, but I think here it's pretty clear it's meant to refer to drawn characters with bodies typical of around the age of 10-13.

incorrect, some loli characters can have physically mature adult bodies.

yes, some loli characters can appear childlike, these are banned from lemmynsfw. some loli characters can appear as adults or ambiguously adults, these are allowed on lemmynsfw.

@MxM111 so.... /d/kbin.social is super broken lol. because any "self posts" get marked as linking to kbin.social.

but /d/url.com shows three things:

1. links to url.com (wherever they might be posted)

2. users from url.com (wherever they might be posting)

3. threads/magazines from url.com (regardless of who posts them)

in terms of the actual website/html content, we are on kbin.social so everything is kbin.social. these urls show content pulled in from other instances.

I think it might be better if you first get a grasp on what federation is and how it works, rather than trying to tackle the messy /d/ urls.

kbin.social is a particular instance of kbin. on this site we can see stuff posted by kbin.social users to kbin.social. kbin.social also gets threads posted on other websites (called instances), such as lemmy.ml. similarly, other instance users, such as users of lemmy.ml (a different website), can post on kbin.social threads and we see them here on kbin.social.

what /d/ is doing is grabbing threads by those users on lemmy.ml (but we see them here on kbin.social, not lemmy.ml). similarly, kbin.social pulls in threads that are posted on/to lemmy.ml and lets us view them here on kbin.social. /d/ shows: all the users of lemmy.ml, all the stuff posted to lemmy.ml, and all the links to the lemmy.ml website. all of these are shown on kbin.social.

It's better to tackle the /m/ urls first, as they're easier to understand. /m/ are subreddits. so /m/gaming is the gaming subreddit for kbin.

over on lemmy.ml (a different website), they have /c/gaming. that is their subreddit.

here on kbin, we can go to /m/gaming@lemmy.ml, which shows us the lemmy.ml /c/gaming subreddit. but it doesn't show it on lemmy.ml, but rather on kbin.social, the site we're using.

so then what /d/ does, is grab all of those subreddits from lemmy.ml.

@swarmosythe

beehaw's ideology hurts real life people as well. should we defederate from them?

technically dbzer0 doesn't break any laws, and neither does lemmynsfw lmfao. people crying "it's illegal" are just wrong. and if you want to go the illegal route, then look at how dprk bans self-hosting, or how the middle east bans lgbt and atheist topics. should we defederate with any instance that has an lgbt or atheist group, due to those being illegal in the middle east?

if you don't want to see it then just block it and move on. no problem.

idiots will look at obviously mature anime characters and then cry at the canonical age being 15. but in the same breath cry about characters who are canonically adults merely for looking young/youthful. it's hypocritical and idiotic.

loli/shota do not refer to an age, and lemmynsfw has stated that they ban nsfw images of minors and those who appear underage.

@MxM111 since reddit.com isn't a fediverse instance, that just shows links to reddit.
