sh.itjust.works Main Community
Home of the sh.itjust.works instance.
Please do not. Although I don't personally want to see lolicon stuff, many of the servers willing to host it have communities I want to interact with. For instance, burggit.moe is where the touhou communities went and is otherwise a pretty nice instance aside from loli communities.
It is content which, while understandably offensive to some, harms nobody. All fictional porn, no matter how deviant it is, is ultimately more ethical than real porn can be.
It should be up to users to block or hide instances with content they don't wish to see, and defederation should be reserved for communities that consistently cause interference, not for communities that simply have content which one disagrees with.

Yeah its a pretty nice experience on burggit other than the one or two loli communitys (that everyone can easily block for themselves)
Why not just leave it up to users on user by user basis? Are we already trying to regulate stuff on this platform? Block stuff if you don't like it, ignore if not. I'm by no means for loli personally, but that's going to start a snowball of overstepping and pretty soon it'll be like R where everything is locked, deleted, blocked, or hidden.
If it's not illegal, ignore it.
The "slippery slope" argument is a logical fallacy.
Disregarding an argument because it contains a fallacy is a fallacy too.
We've seen this happen on Reddit and I've seen it happen in multiple subs. The comment might have been alarmist but given past examples it's not unfounded.
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?
Just block the communitys you don't want to see.
I am biased in this situation, but I just think leaving it to the individual to block specific communities is better than blocking an entire instance for every user.
Yeah blocking a whole instance because they allow something like that is definitely way over the top of a reaction.
Isn't that the point of decentralization allowing users to pick and choose what they want to see? If you don't want to see Loli all you have to do is block the server from your feed. I'm not a fan of Hentaiof any of its subs. But I digress, I'm not on your server so I guess I don't really have a say. 😁
I dont think defederation is the way to go here. It could be another scenario that could be solve elegantly via a tagging system.
But I agree that stuff which is in a legal grey area or outright forbidden in many countries should not show per default on All. There already is a NSFW setting that you can activate and deactivate (this btw can solve the issue to 99% for you right now if you're willing to pass on other NSFW content).
There could be an additional setting to see things that "might be illegal in your country of residence" or simply NSFL. If you then mark such communities appropriatly it could solve the issue for people that want a) no exposure and b) no legal risk due to being shown such communities. And I count myself among those that dont want anything to do with loli or the likes.
For the sake of argument I’ll approach this from a different perspective than everyone else.
Depending on jurisdiction there might be implications in hosting an instance that is federated with instances that host loli. I’m not familiar enough with Canada’s laws and / or le Code Civil du Québec to know if it is considered CSAM, but assuming it is does federating with those communities replicate the media on this instance as well? Would this count as ‘redistributing it’?
Canada laws on CSAM are very strict. even written fictional text are considered csam by law definition. And yes, a known horror novel writer has been charged for csam production in a fiction book. he's been acquitted tho, fortunately. But that raise an alarm that tell us that cops can arrest you for pretty much anything . If you sculpt a loli into ficello string cheese , that enter the definition of CP in Canada.
there is a part of definition saying: "and other visual representation " which is very vague and broad .

I too would like the ability to block at the instance level as a user. Haven't come across loli, but @lemmynsfw.com does show up quite a bit when looking at All.
I have no problem at all with other sh.it.heads wanting to look at/interact with nsfw stuff from that instance, but I'm personally not interested. Given this, defederation seems extreme, but blocking on a community-by-community basis is time consuming and, as others have said, necessitates seeing the content to some degree (pretty sure you can choose whether stuff is blurred or not in your feed via the settings). I'd rather key '@lemmynsfw.com' into a block list once, and go back to what I'm doing.
