De-federate from instances with loli (sh.itjust.works)

Can we get a consensus on whether our community should de-federate with servers that host loli? I personally think we should block them, and if that ends up not being the consensus here then I'll probably sign up on another server. I hope we can all agree to set that boundary though because I like it here and it seems otherwise pretty cool.

No need to defederate. I just went and blocked loli and related communities that popped up. I will never see them again.

So, my vote is NAY.

Federation is still young.

It may be easy to individually block communities now but what about in a few months/years when there are potentially 10x more communities across 10x more instances?

How intimidating would it be for a new user to have to go through 100+ communities and block them all individually instead of just blocking 5-10 instances?

How exactly do I do that?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You click the three dots at the bottom-right corner of a post/comment and then click 🚫 to block the community/poster.

Would you say the same about a gore community?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would block gore communities on a personal level, but there's no need to do so on a server level unless they're doing something worth defederating for, like any of the following:

posting cp
using their server to DoS/DDoS others
dox-ing people
allowing their users to harass others AND refusing to punish such behavior
same as above except for ban evasion

I'd like to have a force-nsfw option for communities that don't enforce proper usage of the NSFW tag, but for now I'd have to block them most likely.

I like watching gore.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I don't like gore, but I miss /r/watchpeopledie. I learned a lot from that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Then you're more than welcome to; I'm just not a fan.

Personally, I'm fine with a NSFW tag, and would hope that NSFW instances respect other instances enough to properly tag stuff.

Any instance with a gore community? Nah, screw that noise. Add it to the block list.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Tbh I think an instance not enforcing tagging content as nsfw is probably very strong grounds for blocking imo

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Absolutely.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But that's such a bad user experience.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean I should hope it'd be blurred out on All

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

with a content warning or without? Blurring is useful for lewd content imo where you don't suffer when clicking it, it just hides for the public when reading in train. But I don't want content just blurred that is literally mentally scarring to the average user.

A NSFL tag would do fine.
