Any critiques, desire for clarity, outright hatred, whatever have you. I will respond the best I can.

I know there’s been some blowback on some of the policy updates but it’s been difficult to really explain fully that the restrictive content policy is temporary, this community was very unmanaged for a time and it had to be reigned in somehow and with the limited tools at disposal the temporary policy changes were made.

Here’s a comment that also explains a little bit behind the decisions made recently as well.

For community mods, we have a community mod coord matrix group chat now. Feel free to DM about it.

Also, there’s another ongoing discussion regarding SFW communities on lemmyNSFW here.

    According to the instance content policy on the sidebar:

    This restriction apply to real or fictional depictions of the following subjects expressed in any medium including live action, photography, cartoons, comics, illustration, 3dcg, text, audio, etc. :

    So yes, in drawings, text, audio, or any medium.

      Either you’re reading that rule way more stricter than was intended (and reading your comments with a ton of personal bias and prejudice) ; or if you’re reading it correct then this is bonkers, and clearly this won’t be an appropriate instance for nsfw.

      I don’t even understand why we went here. I can get being 3times more careful with actual humans and images of actual sexual content. But cartoons/anime/tentacles hentai? FFS…

          Yeah…this is bonkers. Both art treated as IRL and the assumption that either the admins or anyone else can figure out noncon. (Not even going to go on on 'underage/lolita anime concept based on some canonical age)

          Either there is something in the material that is clearly ilegal or not. Trying to figure out intent/consent out of an image is absurd.

          Wonder how long this experiment will last.
