If that instance is too much for even exploding heads

[https://exploding-heads.com/post/139643] then it should also be too much for
us. Almost all other instances also block these types of instances. Especially
since this instance is Canadian and I bet a lot of us are Canadians and I think
the laws relating to this type of content are far more strict here. I would
prefer to be completely unrelated to these types of communities and instances. I
am generally against defederation but to me this is even worse than the botted
instances. Edit: I hope that as people find new instances or new instances like
this open up we can proactively also defederate from them.
They were one of the biggest userbases that was still federated.
I’m disappointed honestly. I still think that Lemmy would be well served by some community flag other than NSFW that makes certain communities a little more hidden. I also do think it was a bit of a knee jerk reaction, but its hard to criticize when they can say “its Canada law”.
I also disagree with Canada law on this, but Canadians seem pretty happy to elect people who tell them what to think, so IDK.
Someone made a suggestion on here that a tag feature, where instances could add their own tags which could be used to mark content on a per-instance basis. These tags would have basic controls on what happens when a post/comment has one of these tags applied to them.
I definitely think this would be a great feature, though I have my doubts about it ever being developed.
