I’m not a prude by any means…
… but they’re currently allowing communities dedicated to loli content. I just had to block a community that had titles like “after the rape” and containing animated material depicting minors.
I don’t know about others, but I don’t want that shit in any way coming across my feed when I try to look at All.
And clearly anyone who does want to browse other NSFW communities is free to make an account on those instances.
If users could block entire instances, I think this would go a long way towards solving the problem. Personally, I’m not for defederating unless the content is illegal in the US where the SDF instance is located.
Allowing users to instance block also lets us filter out the simply irrelevant. Good thinking.
There’s a potential counter argument in there, that suggests we should then defederate from lemmy.dbzer0.com, because piracy is illegal in the US. Agreed though, instance blocking would go a long way.
Piracy wouldn’t get one put on a registry
