What should be of my sever that is set up in a country where said content was legal?

If you wish to see such content and such content is legal in your area, then you should be free to have an instance that does that. Personally I would support defederating from such a service. These are not merely a preference of content, but rather things that have actual harm to actual people.

but I believe that kinda stuff doesn't really have a place being blatantly public to everyone by default.

"federated" and "public to everyone by default" are two entirely different things. I agree, that nsfw content of any kind shouldn't be public front page "to everyone by default". That doesn't mean we should defederate from nsfw instances.

Also, "avoiding legal takedowns" is kinda sus. I'm sure you didn't mean anything by it but it really isn't a strong opener when talking about porn.

Keep in mind that legality of nsfw content varies wildly per region. For example, japan explicitly bans any nsfw materials showing genitals that are not blurred/pixelated. So if a server is hosted in japan, then it's expected that that sort of content (uncensored genitals) would be banned/defederated in order to stay compliant with the laws of the region. Similarly, a server hosted in the middle east might be expected to ban/defederate from instances home to imagery of muhammad, or of nsfw lgbt content.

Also check out bypass paywalls clean for firefox. since installing, I haven't seen a single paywall.

yeah the @ tagging seems to be a bit unpredictable, since the same format is used for users and magazines. I imagine this is why lemmy added an exclamation mark at the beginning of their communities lol.

reddit solved this problem by letting users make "multireddits" where you can subscribe to a bunch of subreddits that are all the same topic (but different subreddits). Something like that could work. like lemme see "all gaming communities across lemmy/kbin" or something.

instances might've shut down.

pre-reddit? smaller niche communities where people actually knew each other. once social media got centralized on a few big platforms (namely reddit) most subs got so ridiculously popular that everyone was basically anonymous. it'd be nice to see actually communities form.

The best troll would be to just openly allow actual direct link piracy on /r/piracy. if reddit bans /r/piracy, then it functionally re-privates the sub (the thing they wanted to avoid). And if they allow it, then it's a bastion of actual piracy. win-win!

the cool thing about the fediverse and open platforms is that we are free to agree to disagree. the second you start defederating, silencing, or banning people over disagreements, is the second you start building an echochamber and leading to situations like what reddit or twitter have. If you don't like the stuff I comment or share, then you're free to block me.

But why does your dislike of what I wish to discuss/say/share mean that I shouldn't be allowed to do so and discuss with others who do wish to speak to me?

If the concern is "normies seeing", then perhaps a suitable compromise would be to hide such content from the front page by default? so that only people who explicitly subscribe to it can see it?

I'm an advocate of "curate your own experience". I don't want to see half the fucked up nsfw shit people post, yet you do not see me crying over defederating instances that host it.

so then what is the issue with an anime character who is 18+ and loli?

[–] Otome-chan@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

server host's laws. the goal being to avoid legal takedowns. I'm a free speech maximalist. The only thing that should ever be taken down IMO is nonconsensual nsfw photos/videos. So cp, revenge porn, deepfakes, etc. along with literal off-topic spam (spammy affiliate links).

loli/shota aren't "illustrated child porn".
