@exploding-heads.comI think it's only illegal if it could be mistaken for a real child. Besides the moral problems with hosting their content (federation copies content locally) it puts a giant target on your back for law enforcement.
Good chance it's just increased usage from all the new federated users. Sounds like the lemmy devs have a plan to optimize things. There may be some low hanging fruit optimization we can look into doing with the postgres config. I'll try to find some time into reading the current default configs.
I'm not sure how I feel about gay couples to be honest. I don't actually care about closet gays or even open amongst adults I just feel kids shouldn't witness dudes kissing.
At the end of the day they aren't hurting anyone by being gay at home but I want grand kids so I don't want to encourage behavior that would result in a genetic dead end.
I don't want to proliferate hatred/intolerance of any kind so I'm sure I have room to grow and learn here.
I feel like the closet system worked fine though.
Also, don't let them get to you. They will dig hard, they will make accounts here just to post racist/hateful shit so they can then go back to their shit instances and say your instance is racists. People have no life.
Have you tested it? Does it work? Will they not be able to see exploding heads communities on their instance? That's a great idea if it works and good admin skills.
I don't even care if google agrees with it. (They do, it's promoted and featured. ) I just want the ability to filter it out for my children. I don't think they should be bombarded with gay stuff before 18. Especially not at 5 years old. There is no lgbt filter like there is for porn or nudity. I've just banned all my kids from having unsupervised tablets.
Netflix is actually the easiest. I can do a search for lgbqt and then block every title that comes up. Then I monitor what they are watching and if any blue haired character or female with a buzz cut comes on I block that title too to be safe.
I rip my own blurays and dvd's to build children's collections on kodi and jellyfin. That helps. Kids are addicted to endless doom scrolling video collections though.
