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.

    Because we’re an NSFW instance and hosting is typically not always stoked about that, we would rather not provide disgruntled users with the information they can use to bombard our provider and make it easier for them to just kill our access. Our current hosting is OK with it.

    More importantly, you should know that when you post here your content is federated and sent to other servers too. We’re working on systems to prevent them from going to servers that don’t or can’t want that. So if you’re concerned over “who is hosting your content” you shouldn’t post anything on lemmy, because federation means EVERYONE is.

      It’s absolutely trivial to determine who is hosting you. This is pretty bad as far as justifications go.

        We should have protections in place to make it harder than a google search, and that’s what we’d like. Ideally no one has a grudge enough to pursue it to the extent that I’m worried about.

          It takes all of 2 seconds without any Google search to identify where a public facing service is. This is just embarrassing.

            Funny thing is if you actually took 2 seconds to see you would see their host is hidden by their domain provider

              If you think cloudflare wouldnt drop them in a heartbeat over content violations then welcome to the internet I guess?
