Defederate lemmynsfw.com? (lemmy.world)

The admins on lemmynsfw.com have decided to allow "non-IRL loli", i.e. drawn porn involving children/teenagers. (Post: https://lemmynsfw.com/post/29633).

Irrelevant of the moral issues that this poses, such content is illegal in many countries (e.g the UK). Continuing to federate with lemmynsfw.com will put users at risk of significant legal repercussions.

Please would the admins consider defederating unless lemmynsfw change their policy.

UPDATE: The lemmynsfw admins posted an clarification here: https://lemmynsfw.com/post/29826. My original argument for defederating doesn't stand any more.

I wish there was a way to exclude the whole instance from my personal feed without requiring admins to defederate it. Right now I have to play whackamole with new communities popping up. And it's not just the NSFW stuff.

    I'm taking the opposite approach, that is, instead of blocking what I don't want to see, I join what I do want to see.

    Blocking is not effective if you want a "curated" feed IMO, new communities are being created all the time, especially now that many are migrating over from reddit, you might never "end" blocking stuff.

    OP post is a different situation though, that kind of content is illegal in many countries (especially EU), just being federated with them could pose a legal risk, it's not just stuff some people don't want to see.

    I've been browsing through new as a way of finding communities to join. The NSFW stuff in that feed is unideal but easy enough to ignore, whereas content that could send me to jail is a whole different ballgame.

    You should make a correction because your original post isn't true

    quote:

    Child sexual exploitation refers to the sexual abuse of a person below the age of 18, as well as to the production of images of such abuse and the sharing of those images online.

    Your post clarifies they ban content of "youngsters" being not obviously underage, it's not the same legally as to say someone is 18+ years old.

    Exactly. And as someone else already pointed out, it just takes a single user subscribing there to have that content cached here, that would put all of us at risk from a legal point of view.

    You can make this even nicer, just originally join instance that doesn't federate with nsfw, and then make another account to lemmynsfw instance, and add both of them to client. You can with one click jump between accounts at least in jerboa.

    This makes a nice experience to control what you see and when

    I have always hated "NFSW" being such a large blanket. NFSW does not exclusively mean "porn".

    Yeah a lot have been asking for this, hopefully it can be added.

    Open source, so Iโ€™m sure someone can. Platform is very young - I suspect that as it gains popularity, more people will contribute to source, and weโ€™ll eventually see more options for customization. Both at the user level and the instance level giving people more reasons to choose other instances over just population of it.
