@lemmynsfw.comIt’s another of those things where it won’t be problem once lemmy develops more.
Off-topic, but I've seen this sort of hopeful thinking a lot on here, and I'm not really sure where it's coming from. When are you expecting Lemmy development to fix this, and what are you basing that on?
because they literally have no other choice.
That's not true, though. They do have a choice. They can always start their own instance, with their own standards of decency. That's the beauty of decentralization; you can just circumvent authority.
I guess I have a couple of those, from time to time. Damned if I know when one is coming, though.
VPN Votes not allowed.
My vote is that we ban it here. I think the best solution for these issues is to have at least two NSFW instances. One that's more tightly moderated and more socially acceptable, and a second that's run with a more Libertarian wildboi flair. Business up front, party in the back. Maybe call the other one something like LemmyTrueNSFW, or LemmyWildNSFW, or something like that. This is how Federation achieves censorship-resistance. It allows a space for those on the fringe, while preventing the fringe from overwhelming the normie majority.
NSFL stands for Not Safe For Life. While NSFW covers things that are generally considered socially acceptable in private situations, but inappropriate for more public or formal situations, NSFL is for stuff that could be traumatizing or deeply disturbing, even in a private context.
Stuff like extreme violence or abuse can be more obvious examples of NSFL, but stuff like scat is more of a gray (well, gray-ish brown) area.
Ultimately, the issue is that this place needs a more sophisticated filtering system.
