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.

    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.

        Id rather just be able to block the entire instance all at once.

        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.

        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
