Defederation with Instances that Allow Loli and Shota
Defederation with Instances that Allow Loli and Shota
I've been talking with @[email protected], and we agreed it would be best to discuss this as a community. What are all of your thoughts on defederating instances with loli and shota? My thoughts will be posted in the comments.
You're viewing a single thread.
I personally support the defederation of communities that allow that type of pornography, especially the types that advertise themselves for it. Beyond not liking it when animated CSAM appears in my feed when I sort by new, I think that communities built around those types of porn invite multiple forms of toxicity that can rot away an instance from the inside. While I think defederation should be used sparingly, I still think it's a useful tool to remove bad elements from our community and in this case, I think its use would be appropriate.
I agree with you, now isn't it possible to rather discuss with the owner of such instances in order to make them destroy the hurting content / communities rather that completely defederating?
Now if these instance do not want to restrict their users, and since Lemmy is still in beta and lack features allowing a more fine tool for moderation (for example ability to "ban" a specific federated user or community rather than a whole instance), so perhaps indeed defederating temporarily until the federated instance accept to remove such content or a feature allow you to filter what comes from another instance.
As Lemmy is growing fast this kind of feature become more or less urgent (I come from beehaw which defederated from lemmy.world for similar reasons, inappropriate content which cannot be filtered out by any other way than defederating), I hope that some priorities will be given to development of those features by the maintainers of the project.
burggit.moe specifically says in their rules "We allow loli/shota pornography." I don't think they're going to budge.
Well in this case they are like promoting it, so I'm in favor of defederation. (Well I had to google to know what it was about to be honest).
