We are hoping to incorporate that in some way, potentially adding your lemmy account link temporarily to an existing adult platform that we know has age verification checks. We want to avoid having to check government IDs if we can, or at the very least have options for those who don't want to.
Thank you bringing it up! We will clarify in the final version, but yeah. Our desire is hopefully to have reporting procedures in the same way reddit does, kind of like "report to community" and "report to site staff"
It should be noted that this happened like 10 days ago, and due to a major federation glitch this and the other post is just reaching the lemmyverse now. It's weird, and probably kind of jarring for all this to enter the fediverse at once. I was so confused as to why no one outside of lemmynsfw was talking about our community meta drama, but I realized the federation glitch was why. More so at this point for those on other instances ,it should be noted that one should be mindful of the age of these events. If we do have to lock this due to the comment running its course though, we will but I am hopeful we won't.
Correct. It won't be for using the site in general, rather for those posting OC so they can be sourced and vouched for. It'll be the same as others where we won't outward require all to be verified before posting always, but more so in the same instance we don't outright require sourcing but strongly suggest it. If it's not sourced, and issues is raised and it seems to be probable/sourcing isnt there and we cant really verify beyond that, it'll be removed and its on the user to appeal that. It'll be a means of "sourcing" OC creators basically. We plan on trying to hash it out more but it will likely work similarly to reddit sub specific verification (but sitewide) with an OC verification and an age verification when in question. More info will be available as we hash it out more. Think the way gonewild does, like holding a sign. We want to have more control over it than reddit did and also make sure the people we are placing in the specific community responsible for doing verifications are fully vouched for by site staff instead of having a bunch of communities making up their own procedure and that own mess.
A lot of it is that for those who havent defederated from us already, their defederation concerns are 99.999999999% likely to be out of legitimate legal or ethical concerns. It take's quite a lot and something particularly egregious for a lemmy instance to truly be defederated permanently by larger instances.
If there is an issue with a moderators decision, please contact an admin for further review. There is work being done to try figure out how make it so that posts can have a reporting distinction of some kind, kind of like how Reddit did. Sort of (report to site staff) and (report to community)
We are aware of this list and it should be noted that most (or nearly all) of these are due to either legal concerns for hosting links to pornography in their host country or due to “no porn” rules. :)
The purpose of the lemmyverse is be federated as a platform overall. If you aren’t at least attempting federation with other instances you’re more or less just a forum (imo)
That and it would cripple the instance. If every single instance defederated from us, user growth would stagnate. Seeing the content federate into all incentivizes people to join in and engage.
So long as it follows our general ethos and their admins are responsive to concerns just like any other federated instance, it will be fine. So long as it's not hosting illegal (or borderline illegal) content it should be fine. If it comes to that point, we will very likely not be the only instance concerned and feel a need to take action. We want more instances! It's the point of the fediverse, the more the merrier!
Hello federated instances! You are likely deeply confused, but there was a glitch that occurred preventing past posts in this community from being federated. It seems to be related to admins pinning posts but not being modded in the respective community. Regardless, things occurred here. I will be locking this thread for the sake of the fact that the conversation here has ran its course. Feel free to repost links to this thread elsewhere, or don't. I don't really care. Regardless enjoy this time capsule from the fediverse past (aka 3 days ago)
Our new current pinned post is a our current (hopefully final) draft! :)
A large portion of instances do see a place for properly managed NSFW content in the federation.
