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.
With AI-generated images too this is a real minefield.
Honestly I’d rather we just de-federate from porn instances entirely, people can sign up there directly if they want that.
I wouldn’t have any issue if:
1.) it were moderated at least semi-decently
2.) we got the option to hide NSFW communities from “All”, while still keeping “show NSFW” on in our settings. Otherwise it’s just really inconvenient to go to settings and flip that on and off every time you want to go to such a community or see a NSFW post that’s not sexually explicit. They use the tag for other things too.
This seriously needs to be a thing asap
I have an issue open for it - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1201
Though I doubt it’s the highest priority
Porn is porn, people will congregate or create what they are attracted to.
That being said, this has a real potential to “poison the well” so to speak. People that jump from reddit to kbin only to be greeted with… loli stuff, are going to quickly find themselves back on Reddit.
Not only because of the moral problems with such content, but the communities that will attract, people will not want to be associated with.

Surprisingly, beehaw doesn’t seem to have defederated lemmynsfw
There are Lemmy instances that do this.
hear hear. a blanket ban on porn is much more effective, there are other places you can find it.
That, to be fair, is true for any type of content pretty much. Isn’t the whole point of federating a bunch of websites together the ability to interact with anything from many different places under one account though?
Like I very much get it if an instance in general is legally questionable, which is the original point, but most nsfw isn’t
