The problem with that approach is that it puts users here in legal jeopardy. Right now if I browse "All" rather than "Local" I'm risking jail time
Not really, mens rea is a pretty universal requirement to be committing a crime
Then block the nsfw communitys... You can do that yourself, if you don't want to be with them sign up for another account at a instance that blocks them completely.
The problem with that is there are so many. Id rather just be able to block the entire instance all at once. I know for certain I want nothing from lemmynsfw period or any other porn instance. I should be able to just block them off.
I have no idea whether lemmy supports that, but kbin does, and you're on kbin.
One would go to something like this:
https://kbin.social/d/lemmynsfw.com
And then just check the crossed circle button in the right-hand sidebar.
EDIT: For completeness, according to this, lemmy does not currently support letting users block entire instances.
Not currently supported but i don't think its impossible. Probability getting implement in the future.
I think lemmy works on that, until now you can however set in your account options to not see any nsfw, the nsfw instances are enforcing the rule that nsfw is flaired as such.
In my mind there's a big difference between NSFW and child porn, and where I am, that content is considered to be child porn. I'm happy to deal with filtering NSFW content for myself, but I don't want to risk CP.
The reason I phrased the OP as a question was that I suspect most users here will have a similar view to me and be in favor of blocking servers hosting CP. If that isn't the case I'll happily go find another instance, I don't want to enforce my boundaries on everyone else.
Child porn? Its just drawings, just block them off yourself this stuff was on reddit for a loooong time as well until the advertisers said no porn.
If they'd actually host child porn i think they would be instantly blocked off from all other instances.
The problem is that in my country those drawings are legally the same thing as child porn. As I said in the OP, I'm not making a moral judgement here, but as a purely practical matter that content is concerning to me.
Were do you live?
And in that case you should turn off nsfw in general for your account (and if you want porn sign up at burggit or LemmyNSFW) thats how i handle it personally
