It is right now super frustrating to be in the situation I do not see vast amounts of the lemmyverse, because of it.

One of the reason I joined this is because the sharp blocking of NSFW content goes against my principles of sexpositivity and I don’t believe a free community can exist without acknowledging that part of the user group. Nobody banned reddit for having gonewild, so what is going on here?

    Afaik, lemmy.ml never gave a reason as to why they defederated with us. Which is obviously fair, they are their own instance, and can make that decision. However, it most likely has to do with their strict “no porn” rule, since if members want to upload or view content from lemmynsfw.com, their servers would have to handle that and a lot of instance admins don’t like the thought of having to manage explicit/sensitive content like what we have.

      That is a pretty big structural flaw of Lemmy as a whole then and is a stark contrast to reddit where mods of one sub never had to bother about what happens on other pages.

        I just did the same as with reddit. I have this account on this instance and another ”clean“ one on another instance. Best of both worlds.

        I don’t think its a flaw at all. The decentralized nature allows users to make the decision on which instance to browse that meet all of their needs. There are instances out there that federate with both LemmyNSFW and Lemmy.ML. You could just browse those instances and still see the content you like seeing.

          Yeah, I don’t see it as a flaw. I already have seperate accounts for this instance and mainstream Lemmy.

            Same. I don’t really want porn on my main, and I don’t really want my main on porn.

          You say that as if the blocks are a known factor. They are not easily visible to users, and instances can block others on a whim like beehaw did to some others very recently.

          Worst of all, when users had subscriptions and connections active from a time when there wasn’t yet a block in place, they don’t even get warnings or notifications when trying to post or comment? Subscriptions don’t give warnings either?

        I think you’ll find that the continued existence of /r/jailbait was a pretty large concern among the community for fear of reddit as a whole getting booted off the internet.
