Defederation with Instances that Allow Loli and Shota
I've been talking with @[email protected], and we agreed it would be best to discuss this as a community. What are all of your thoughts on defederating instances with loli and shota? My thoughts will be posted in the comments.
So I'm totally new to Lemmy (reddit refugee), but a big draw for forums like these is freedom of speech (content). While I personally find it horribly distasteful, I can also moderate it on my own. Personally I enjoy firearms and hunting, some people would find hunting horribly distasteful and while I'm drawing parallels that aren't entirely equal, I think the main point remains. Let people moderate their own content as they see fit and have the moderators stick to what is 100% against the rules/law.
Application of the rules is fairly arbitrary. The admin just made them up, and they're not specific. For this specific topic, the admin wanted to feel out community thoughts on how against the rules this content is, and how harsh the response should be. Also, to be fair, hunting and firearms in most forms are fairly morally grey, while loli/shota is almost ubiquitously morally dark, so they aren't a truly equivalent comparison.
