Should we ban scat fetish? (lemmynsfw.com)

As admins, we removed the scat communities, thinking that scat was covered by the NSFL. However, some people have opposing views on this matter. What do you think about it? If people want it allowed, then we can restore content.

Edit: My answer for friends in the comments; The main reason NSFL was banned is because we currently don't have the tools to separate porn from NSFL. I'm in favor of the ban because I think its the same way in scat. If we had enough tools right now, we wouldn't be ban the NSFL either. Although, I agree that voting for niche fetishes doesn't make sense.

Edit 2: Also I don't want to think about shit anymore. I'm out 😀 https://lemmynsfw.com/post/117500

Content that most people consider extreme needs to be opt-in for viewers. Eg I don’t want to see content like this in the new/active feeds. Of course users can block it, but I don’t think that’s enough. Think if a new user joins and sees the new feed filled with content they are uncomfortable with.

Lemmy really needs a way to filter sensitive communities so content like this can be hidden away from feeds/federation unless users explicitly want to see it.

Lemmy very much was not prepared for such an influx of users on short notice, so unfortunately we kinda need to tape and prayer quite a bit of things it feels like. I think a NSFL tag would be good general feature, or going further CWs for specific communities.

This is really the issue. Having scat appear in the 'All' section of the website probably isn't very appealing to most current or new users. It's not that we should push it to another instance or mark it NSFL (since that's not really what that tag is meant for), but that it should just be marked as a sensitive community (by a site admin, or perhaps by the community admin), removed from 'All', and have a confirmation screen whenever a user tries to enter the community. The "site who shall not be named" had a similar feature.
