Honestly feels like there are just a ton of anti-lgbt people jumping at the chance to hate on ada, this is quite a non-issue.
If people want to see and interact with porn then they can simply make an account on a porn server, that's a good idea even regardless of all this.
I don't understand the insistence that porn instances have to be federated with everyone else, it's equally as strange as pornhub having a "share to facebook" button.
My main account is on lemmynsfw, I don't use it for porn. We are not the same.
The blahaj admin fucked up, and rather than admitting they fucked up, they decided to drag the issue into the public sphere and infer the other instance supports CSAM. And don't give me any bullshit about how that's not really what they are doing, because that's exactly how they worded their post. I'm guessing they did it because they wanted to create drama and play the victim, but whatever the reason, everyone else has every right to criticize them for their actions. What they did was pretty fucking shitty, and they should be ashamed of themselves.
I feel the need to point out, there is porn on both instances. Just more on lemmynsfw.
When using reddit we can access everything under one account. That is the point. If each instance need each account then there is no use. I should be able to open one account and access everything. If people are segregated into multiple instance and no connection between them then there is no use. Yeah if they are allowing posting of csam content etc then fine defederation is necessary.
This seems like a misunderstanding of how Fediverse works. It's about voluntary association between instance owners. If you don't like the decisions made by your instance owner, then the point of Fediverse is that you can either find an instance that thinks like you do, or make your own. It's not about forcing owners to associate with other instances they dislike, even if you disagree with the reasoning.
There's a bit of downside in that Lemmy doesn't let you migrate accounts at this time, but it's basically brand-new open source software. Whether you meant to or not, you signed up to be a user for an incomplete experience.
Welcome to the fediverse! Instance admins are under obligation to federate with every other instance possible, and are also under no obligation to do everything in their power to recapture the reddit experience.
Well it’s a good thing there’s already a place where you can do that!
Most people don't seem to be saying this. In fact, blahaj.zone does not seem to have a policy of defederating from porn instances in general.
Of course anyone running an instance can choose not to federate with any server for any reason, though most users might want to avoid instances that are inconsistent or unpredictable about it. The main issue here seems to be an accusation that lemmynsfw.com tolerates CSAM, or things meant to give the impression of being CSAM. That's a serious accusation, which its admins deny.
The issue isn't the defederation, it's that the instance is being presented as being at all fine with CSAM by blahaj admins, when it's actually very postive, and moderated well by reasonable admins judging by the convo between them.
