In this instance, should we ban NSFL, hardcore gore content? I think it’s not a problem since anyone can subscribe to the community they want but if the vast majority don’t want it, we can ban it. Decisions must be made from the beginning.
Here’s a StrawPoll link.
Edit: Looks like we are going to ban it. Commenters are right that we cannot currently list NSFW and NSFL content separately on the homepage. Since anyone can open an instance, we should let other people to open an instance on lemmynsfl.com. Also moderating these communities can be hard too. So it’s okay.
@SquareBear@lemmy.ml, @TheTrueCryptid@lemm.ee, @RestfulD34m0N@lemmynsfw.com,@UprisingVoltage@feddit.it
Thanks for your feedback. Due to reasonable arguments, NSFL is banned.
I’m surprised that all the scat communities were banned as NSFL without any warning or discussion here. What’s up with that?
According to our poll, we had already banned NSFL. We decided among the admins that scat content is within the scope of NSFL and therefore we banned it too.
This is not okay. Unlike gore which clearly has significant ethical issues, scat causes no harm and is simply disliked by many people. Scat is already banned in many places of discussion, meaning that people in this fetish are forced to gather in places where actual child porn and bestiality is, because they literally have no other choice.
Don’t do this to us, please. The community did not ask for this. Please, throw us a lifeline. Don’t make us go to a scummy instance full of creeps and actual pedophiles.
EDIT: How can I raise this with the admin team? I’d like to make my argument to repeal this decision and have you guys look at it one last time. We might be able to come to a happier solution ❤

It really should. If you feel like “people consensually shitting on eachother” is the same as “people raping children” then you need to realize there’s a difference between " I don’t like this" and “this is illegal, rape, and deeply damaging to society”
Check out the work of Dr. Jonathan Haidt.
You’ll have to be a bit more specific as I don’t have time to read all of his works… is there a specific book, theory, or argument your referencing here?
If you’re too busy, din’t feel compelled. There’s a lot of material. Here is a decent place to start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pmz10uQsTYE

so if porn was not allowed on this site, and was only hosted on site with bestiality or CP categories you’re argument is you would never look at porn ? people go to sketchy shitty sites all the time for porn thats not allowed in better spaces.

That still should have been communicated to the mods of those communities, rather than just banning with no notice.
How have these communities been banned without any notice? How are you better or different than Spez? I fully agree with what @Leanne is saying, scat is not ethically wrong, it’s just disliked by people. You should have opened a dialogue about it instead of straight up banning it for a reason that doesn’t even make sense. We do not deserve this.
Since the poll for allowing scat has finished, can you restore the deleted communities, or is all of our hardwork gone?
Yes please ban it. Or maybe create another gore tag and let users automatically block or blur that content as they wish I guess that is the best of both worlds (Even though I persoinally cant find anything good in the “gore world” :) )
No… I don’t understand why they would be banned.
I think it should be banned since, as of now, there is no way to hide gore by default.
Let’s say I’m browsing the instance and choose to explore some new communities, so I turn on the local filter. I (and I think all the people who are not into gore, which I suppose is the majority) do NOT want, even by mistake, to see gore in my feed, especially if I’m looking for “normal” porn.
Yeah, I could block the communities, but this would mean finding them, interacting with them, and then blocking them, which is not something I want to do.
I like the idea of blocking until we have more granular filters. This instance will be more successful if it’s not blocked by loads of instances, and I reckon allowing stuff like this will make the block choice too easy.

Yes - just that. Yes - ban gore.
I suppose you need to decide what is NSFW. Is it only the Lewd images people are posting? That’s pretty tame. Are you going to accept nude/porn/hardcore porn/fetish/furry? Violence? Drugs? Nsfl can be nsfw.
So what is the purpose of this community?
The instance and communities are different things. Communities can have their own rules about NSFW or NSFL contents. This community (!lemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com ) is only for updates about lemmynsfw.com. People can subscribe any community on lemmynsfw.com.
Now that we’ve made the distinction, what I want to ask here is should we block NSFL communities on the lennynsfw.com instance?
