One of the admins at lemmy.blahaj.zone asked us to purge a community and all of
its users because they thought it was full of child sexual abuse material, aka
CSAM, fka kiddy porn. We assured them that we had checked this comm thoroughly
and we were satisfied that all of the models on it were of age. The admin then
demanded we purge the comm because they mistook it for CSAM, and claimed that
the entire point of the community was to make people think it was CSAM. We
vehemently disagreed that that was in fact the point of the community, but they
decided to defederate from us anyway. That is of course their choice, but we
will not purge our communities or users because someone else makes a mistake of
fact, and then lays the responsibility for their mistake at our feet. If someone
made a community intended to fool people into thinking it was kiddy porn, that
would be a real problem. If someone of age goes online and pretends – not
roleplays, but pretends with intent to deceive – to be a child and makes porn,
that is a real problem. Nobody here is doing that. One of the reasons we run our
instance the way that we do is that we want it to be inclusive. We don’t body
shame, and we believe that all adults have a right to sexual expression. That
means no adult on our instance is too thin, fat, bald, masculine, old, young,
cis, gay, etc., to be sexy, and that includes adults that look younger than some
people think they should. Everyone has a right to lust and to be lusted after.
There’s no way to draw a line that says “you can’t like adult people that look
like X” without crossing a line that we will not cross.
She’s still doing it!
There is no jailbait community on lemmynsfw as far as I can tell. Jailbait is by definition underage girls and falls under CSAM and you can have your own thoughts about fauxbait, I absolutely do, but the fact of the matter is the whole point is that it’s fake and these are adult women.
There’s some inherent reality/fantasy disconnect that Ada has here.
I know and I appreciate you taking a mature and reasonable stance on all this and my point in posting this here wasn’t to make something out of nothing or create outrage or anything like that. It’s just that this isn’t nothing, it looks like there might be ulterior motives and reasons that were not made clear here and this was just an excuse and a lot of this just reeks of goofy Leddit powermod behavior and logic that doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. That’s all.
It makes me sad, but it is what it is. I’m trying not to take it personally, but it does sting since I am a gay man, and an LGBT focused instance is a lovely idea in my eyes. We do not have a jailbait community, whatsoever. There are concerns about fauxbait that we are actively discussing and navigating. It did bring up a good conversation on that end at least.
