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.

    You got it wrong unfortunately. We basically interact with a copy of the federated instance, that lives on lemmy.world. Each change or comment we make gets synced with the true instance and vice versa.

    Which also means that if a single user causes for example a child porn community (I don't care if it's drawn or not, I don't discriminate between pedos) to be federated, we would now be hosting child porn on Hetzner servers located in Germany and Ruud would be in pretty serious trouble.

    If I recall correctly that is not true for media. Yes the text is the part and the contents are synced over, but a picture attachment is not and that continues to live on the original instance. And that is assuming the image was posted to the server and not linked to an external web host which is usually the case.

    So long story short, lemmy.world would not host any questionnaire images even with federation, it would only host hyperlinks.
