No, I’m not talking about meta discussions like the ones in this community. I think the value and necessity of those posts is pretty apparent.
I’ve been noticing something this morning while browsing All on the instance: i am seeing are a lot of SFW celebrity posts occurring on the sever, along with a number of communities dedicated to an individual celebrity.
For example, I just saw a post to a Gillian Anderson community with a “headshot” type pic of her in a what I would call a regular dress.
What does the general community think of this type of content being posted to lemmynsfw?
My first feeling is “eh, whatever, live and let live. If you don’t like it, block the community/poster so you don’t see it.” But at the same time, I just blocked several communities and I’m still seeing more… it just seems weird to post a bunch of SFW content to an NSFW dedicated instance.
As an aside, I realize I can just browse Subscribed, but I like browsing All to discover new communities.
Coming into this discussion, I completely had the same “whatever” attitude of OP. But I think @[email protected] makes a great point about the cost and money of Lemmy servers. I do appreciate the time, money, and effort it takes to keep LemmyNSFW running, and I think it’s entirely fair to say that those comms should not be the responsibility of the admins to support. So I guess I’ve been swayed and now come down mildly against them. That said, at the end of the day I think it’s an admin call. They are the ones that have to expend resources to support those comms, and they are NOT part of the core “mission” of the instance, as it were, so I’m good with the decision being entirely in their hands.
Maybe that’s a bit wishy-washy, but as a user I don’t think it directly affects me much.
