Absolutely NO sexuality explicit content. This includes, but not limited to, images/videos/chat around sexual acts. There are other places on the internet for this.

Seems fair. There are many places for erotic/porn content on the web. And for a federated network it is good to not force instance owners to manage avoiding the hosting of nudity by federating it.
Nudity isn't inherently sexual, and they pointedly have not mentioned it in the quoted text. It sounds like only explicit sexual content is forbidden, not nudity.
I do think even this is an overreach for a federated network, though, assuming Pixelfed is enforcing this on all instances (is that even possible?). It should be on the instance owners to make that decision. I couldn't find where the quoted text is sourced from, however.
Someone could just start a NSFW version, right?
There's an "Adult" section in pixelfed.org's instance list
https://pixelfed.org/servers -> Adult 😉
Are they spying on my chats? How would they know its contents?
Unless E2EE is implemented - the service owner can see all the messages, as they are stored in plain text.
So there's no E2EE on pixelfed?
Fortunately we have PMs, right?
