Both host content that are against our content policy and have had issues with users from those sites entering our community crossposting content that violates our content policy. We are discussing defederating other instances as well. There is discussion of lemmit.online being defederated because it pretty much exclusively scrapes reddit content and reposts it, and some content creators have expressed discomfort. If there’s other instances that might be worth considering defederating from, just post and it’ll be added to the current discussion.
and before anyone brings it up, lemmygrad defederated with us.
This isn’t a dictatorship but I ask that you please behave in the comment section and at least try to understand why we are defederating.
This is off topic to your point but lets say, hypothetically, my friend was interested in a CNC-allowed instance, would you have any recommendations?
I don’t think there is one. At least going from the fact that I don’t see many federated nsfw instances here at all, but maybe I haven’t looked hard enough.
Tbh the legal and practical ramifications of hosting porn (particularly the borderline-legal kind) means that this is probably not going to be easy to get going for anyone living in a western country. I wouldn’t get my hopes up too much for your friend.
EDIT: There’s not. That’s a real shame because even drawn CNC is verboten now, and I’ve had an incest caption removed today (no reason provided, but I’m assuming that since IRL incest is non-consensual by definition then it might be (partially?) verboten as a fictional kink as well).
I know I will hold off on contributing here for now until the content policy stops getting expanded every week. I had assumed “reddit-like” rules would apply, but they’re already significantly stricter and there’s no point in submitting niche content that will get removed down the line.
I mean, I get it from the admins’ perspective. But from a user/contributor’s perspective I really really hope they can figure out a way that we can still aggregate content that was previously allowed on reddit, else I hardly see the point of migrating.
Appreciate the thoughts/insights. I guess my friend has just gotten too used to reddit, and didn’t realize there even was legal issues around hosting porn
CNC is not banned on this instance and not illegal (in the US; it may be in other countries); the problem is telling the difference between CNC and actual NC, since the whole point of CNC is to look and feel as much like noncon as possible. And then there are the grey areas of dubcon, reluctant consent, etc. It’s a real tricky space to navigate.
Yeah of course. I guess what I’m looking for specifically is more like… cnc personals? Which seem like they’d be fine on this instance if CNC is in fact not banned (yay). I definitely agree it’s basically impossible for an outside POV to distinguish between CNC and just rape in images/video, even with filmed consent beforehand because of the whole dubcon/reluctant consent issues.
EDIT: the original replier (OR?) to my question edited their post to confirm CNC is for sure banned here, so no yay. I might just end up staying on reddit for that, since it’s pretty advertiser unfriendly and I don’t need a mobile app since the only place I’m watching porn is at home. I’d rather deal with corporate BS on reddit than nazis on exploding heads
EDIT2: MY FRIEND*
I can say (from conversations with the admins on Matrix) that that CNC specifically has not been completely banned. Depictions of actual noncon is banned, consensual noncon is a something that they want to keep around as long as we can find a way to clearly distinguish it from real noncon. This is all pending further discussions of the content policy, coming shortly.

What do they allow and what is CNC?
burgitt is one of those “unrestricted free speech” places which usually boils down to loli stuff and/or nazi stuff. I believe they are trending towards the former.
CNC is consensual nonconsent – basically, consensual rape roleplay, though there are nuances which that description doesn’t convey.
How do I connect to it?
You’ll need to go to https://burggit.moe/ and create an account there. Being defederated from this instance means you can’t access it from this account.
It should be denoted the strict content policy currently in place is going to be discussed further at a later date. CNC will likely be a topic of discussion on how to approach that. The strict content policy right now is more or less a temporary “pause” while lemmy as a software itself improves and more tools become at our disposal.
