We should defederate from lemmynsfw

LollerCorleone@kbin.social to /kbin meta@kbin.social – 164 points –

The mods there have decided to allow underage looking content, skirting close to CP. Unless we want such disgusting stuff on our feed, I think we should defederate from that instance.

Pinging @ernest as well.

But I don't need it to be defederated, I'm happier if I have the tools to deal with this (and other similar stuff).

I'm sorry but this is asinine. We're not talking about blocking too many posts about Taylor Swift, we're talking about new users of kbin getting fed illegal child porn in their feed.

Kbin should defederate immediately.

This is not about CSAM though. It’s about specific fetish (which isn’t illegal globally as far as I know)
ernest needs to worry about the legality of the server and his users holistically.
I need to worry about the content I’m browsing. Ernest can’t worry or know about local laws in every country. Hence, I need to be able to block domains that I deem unsuitable.

If ernest decides he needs to defederate to keep his users safe, then that’s fine by me, it’s his call. But I want to be able to moderate my own content (tools exist, but seem a bit buggy https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/118)

I think the larger point is that you can still block domains you don't want to see, but in this particular case defederation should happen. Both things can co-exist

Absolutely. If admins see the need to defederate, then go for it. I'm not going to object or leave because of it.
I just simply said, I personally don't have need to defederate - if - the blocking tools work.

Everyone else mileage may vary. Of course.
