As admins, we removed the scat communities, thinking that scat was covered by the NSFL. However, some people have opposing views on this matter. What do you think about it? If people want it allowed, then we can restore content.

Edit: My answer for friends in the comments; The main reason NSFL was banned is because we currently don’t have the tools to separate porn from NSFL. I’m in favor of the ban because I think its the same way in scat. If we had enough tools right now, we wouldn’t be ban the NSFL either. Although, I agree that voting for niche fetishes doesn’t make sense.

Edit 2: Also I don’t want to think about shit anymore. I’m out 😀 https://lemmynsfw.com/post/117500

    kinda surprising to see voting is leaning towards ban. if scat won’t be on lemmynsfw, where else is it supposed to be in?

    Block the community if you don’t like the fetish, but banning scat makes no sense to me.

      My favorite instance admin for a reason.

      It’s not everyone’s cup of tea or even most people’s, but neither are dicks for most browsing this instance, some still want those around and it’s more than understandable, I don’t like em, someone is super excited about it though. They probably aren’t into titties, I like titties. Id be shitty if they tried to ban titties.

      Unless it’s illegal or genuinely traumatic seems dumb to ban it, especially considering the first big announcement he made was legally dubious in some areas.

      Personally I’d recommend replacing scat with titties or ass and vote thinking if that was on the chopping block. this isn’t a do you like question, this is a purge question. lemmynsfwspecialkinks seems wayyyy too long for an instance name imo let’s stop this train before it starts and someone gotta make that instance.

        Sure and people will ask for ban from there as well, my point was a nsfw community being on nsfw instance makes sense to me.

          If people ask for a ban there as well, the admin of that instance can direct them to here. That way, that instance can remain… well, full of shit.

        Actually that is not really how Lemmy works. As long as at least one user from here subscribes to a community from there the community is right back in All here. And if no user is allowed to subscribe to something there you don’t really gain anything from federation.
