The death of Sync for Reddit is what has made me join Lemmy

I barely use reddit anymore save for porn and niche subs but after that glorious app I had used for ages finally died a few days ago I felt devastated. it was like losing an old friend. I hope reddit dies an even slower and more painful death

I wouldn't be surprised if the large "mainstream" Lemmy and KBin instances start degenerating from the NSFW focused instances before too long.

I hope they don't. Users should have the power to decide for themselves what content they want to see.

I understand that but at the same time instance admins need to take into consideration whether they're willing to deal with NSFW content in terms of moderation. Especially with NSFW content from other instances that they have no control over. When you're talking about consequences that could include legal issues, it's completely fine for admins to decide they'd prefer to not deal with it at all. Especially especially since for the end user, the way to get around defederated porn instances is to just have an account on or simply visit a NSFW instance.

Errr.. this has nothing to do with illegal content or even specifically NSFW content. Users should have the power to block instances they don't want to. It's impossible to find an instance that blocks all the instances an individual user wants to unless they host it themselves or are friends with the hosts.
