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.
You can simply not activate the “show nsfw” checkbox and you will never see that stuff in your feed
Not true, I’ve checked it and I still see a ton of posts in porn subs that aren’t marked as nsfw. Not the end of the world but still somewhat annoying.
please correct me if I’m wrong, but I think this will even block a video on a normal feed with a lot of swearing if someone marks it NSFW.
People sometimes mark nsfw to be silly for a crocheted penis or a cat in a funny position. I don’t want to miss those.
That is true, yet it’s also misuse of the NSFW button. It’s specifically for depictions that are adult, not for spoken words that are adult.
And yet, those in-office users may not want an unexpected burst of swearing emanating from their devices.
No problem with that, but that’s not what the NSFW switch is for.
I’m not disputing that, just making a note. I’m not in an office currently, but I do try to be considerate.

I’ve noticed that that doesn’t always work. User profile pictures can be NSFW and still be shown. And the ‘random’ posts box will show NSFW images sometimes as well.
It’s something to be looked at to make sure all the edge cases are covered, so that the “show NSFW” check box being unchecked actually does prevent all NSFW stuff from being shown.
I’m not worried about it too much. It’s just growing pains as the #threadiverse gets on its feet. The devs will fix it in the code, and until then the user can block stuff manually, which is what I have been doing.

That’s an issue that will go away shortly. On Reddit admins could mark a subreddit as NSFW by default and all content would hold that tag. That feature currently doesn’t exist on Lemmy so people are just sometimes forgetting to check the NSFW box. Jerboa also does not have the box to check at all. I believe the feature is coming soon.
You speak about the “All” section. NSFW communities should not appear there like they don’t do on Reddit either.
True, but all this talk of whether or not to federate… It feels like everyone wants to be all nice and inclusive because that’s how we’re supposed to be to people, but in this case the way the fediverse works kind of lends itself to organically separating SFW and NSFW instances. It just kind of makes sense.
