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.
I’m still trying to understand this whole app/situation, it makes zero sense to me lol. Is there not a way to block? This situation is definitely worth blocking because it’s fucked up.
I’m more so just curious if it’s sent to main feeds or being sought out? Just want to learn to avoid this in the future. I don’t agree with the negativity of reddit to all downvote and ban at any chance they can but saying “I’d never do this but weirdos voted so we’re a pedo sub now” is fucked
Yes, you can block them yourself. Defederation means the server does the thinking and acting for you.
You can sign up for lemmy or kbin at a number of different URLs and they all work together. But each site is run by different people. I see you’re on kbin.social
The kbin.social administrators can block entire other URLs, and all their content and users. This is called defederating. Since anyone can start a lemmy/kbin site some of them allow really hateful or gross things, and you can’t do much else but block them.
