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.

I have taken the executive decision to turn federation off for a similar reason.

I was recommended a vile post on the sidebar from m/random which I definitely never want to see the likes of again. I did report it but since it was from another server I don't really know where that goes.

I'm not going to turn federation back on again until I find a way to prevent it. Perhaps we should start a blacklist?

You can blacklist sites you don't want to see.
Go to https://kbin.social/d/<the instance domain name you want to block>
For example: https://kbin.social/d/sh.itjust.works

On the right side-bar, in the Domain box, you'll see this you'll see this
Click on the block symbol and you will not see content from that domain again.

(hopefully)

Thank you and I appreciate the write up but I had actually already blacklisted a few domains.

Unfortunately that did not prevent the post from appearing in m/random because it was from a domain that I had not already blacklisted.

I simply do not want to have to act reactively once I have already been exposed to the vile content. At that point my experience is already ruined whether I block it afterwards or not.

Another reasonable approach might be to block m/random which I might consider doing if I am tempted to enable federation again, but for now I'm just going to play it safe and stick to kbin.social.
