Welcome to Burggit, You won’t find unreasonable content restrictions here! Your controversial legal porn is allowed here! Sit back, grab some lotion and a tissue, because I have a feeling things are about to get messy!
Just got here :)
We love having you! Your expression is welcome here! We hope you enjoy your stay!
The mod of HeteroHentai took the lemmyNSFW admins to task over their new content policy: https://lemmynsfw.com/post/146760
This post is a great writeup, thank you for sharing. And because I have a feeling LemmyNSFW will purge this post I’ll archive it.

I saw this earlier today, lol.
Did something happen over there?
They switched admins yesterday and while the old admin was cool with most legal content, the new admin seems hellbent on taking away all porn that is even slightly controversial. They also immediately defederated with us because while the old admin took a pro loli/shota/cub stance, the new one absolutely did not and even announced defederating us. As you can probably imagine, we’ve gotten a decent chunk of signups since this change, enough to warrant this post welcoming them.
Kinda figured. I hate mods like that, instead of going in the original vision of the instance. Probably one of those former reddit mods lmao
With that said, any alternatives to some of the communities that was over there?
Make them! Make them and the people will come!

This person gets it!

Is handholding banned as well?
Took over by puritans last i heard. The post i was linked to made it sound like anything not vanilla was banned now.
Well probably because they use Cloudflare. Which is a thing you should not use if you distribute porn of any kind. One report of non consensual porn, revenge porn, or CSAM and they’ll drop you like a hot potato
Puritans? In a NSFW instance?
They’re going for “only the sacred ritual for procreation after marriage” content then?
Ha not quite that bad, but last i heard they did decide to outlaw anything that wasn’t vanilla.
I made another account here so I can have both worlds
First off…
Welcome everyone! May your content by spicy and your faps long!
But also…
What the hell happened to LemmyNSFW, of all subs, to cause this??
Old admin was in favor of controversial kinky content. They stepped down, seemingly partially due to some drama about their favorable stance towards controversial content. The new admin steps up and is pretty much against everything even slightly controversial. Thinking about it, it’s a real monkey’s paw situation happening over there.
Sounds rough. Reading the other replies here seem to indicate it’s…a bit more than “protect the lolis”, “a bit” being used loosely lol like holy hell, that’s something else.
Looks like this instance is slowly becoming the last bastion for said controversial kinky content.
Something we have noticed is, every time an instance tightens its grip, we seem to be the place people go. We hope to continue being that sanctuary for people.
It makes sense. When the whole point of this instance is that most if not all fictional kinks are tolerated. People are more likely to go there if their kink is suddenly seen as too weird and or gross. Since the odds of getting removed would be much smaller.
Yep, we try to provide the most freedom of expression we possibly can without getting into potential legal hot water. Glad we’re carving our place as a safe haven for people.
Silver-lining, at least it helps to grow this instance?
Still a bit of a shit circumstance for those affected, though. I would assume they’d like to feel welcomed and accepted on the larger instance.
Oh for sure, I’m happy this place gets more new faces, but like you said…it’d be nice if the bigger instances accepted us so some of us don’t have to make multiple accounts to get the whole expierence…
But see, that’d require us all to sit down and talk about topics, some that might be a mite bit uncomfortable or tough for a lot of the folks there to swallow
as far as I can tell only this, lemmynsfw and lemmy.fmhy.ml of the somewhat popular instances accept nsfw on their instances?
Pretty slim pickings especially due to the route lemmynsfw is going in but good to be here.
Kbin doesn’t seem to prohibit porn either. Not sure what their policy on it will look like once they get around to writing it out, though.
I made the switch to here before those policy changes even took place and now I’m glad I did.
I made my account here, figuring that I’d also be able to access the mainstream porn on lemmynsfw with it. Less than 12 hours later, they defederated. q_q
Yeah that’s a shame but with many of their users leaving and a lot of the content there being restricted there’s not much you’re losing anyway.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but is there a way to remove automatic blur of previews for NSFW posts? I couldn’t find the setting in settings…
Most people use this script: https://burggit.moe/post/7117
Lmao.
