As you may notice, downvotes have been completely off for the last few days. I did this because I couldn't resist the pressure of some friends :/ I still don't know what to do about this. The majority of members probably want it to be completely open. As mods, posters and admins; some think it should be closed, some think it should be restricted (I guess).

I guess there is no solution that makes everyone happy. I realized I don't have admin skills in stressful situations, I'm a fucking stupid lol :D I miss @gabe so much.

lemmyposter212 suggested "fuzzy votes" or something that can work for us too. I think I'll just ghost this issue for a while.

Donations

As you know, all our donation accounts have been closed. Since it was my first time opening a site in the NSFW area, I had no experience. I reviewed some adult donation sites but most of them were shady. Honestly I couldn't trust them.

There are only coins now. But I guess most people don't want to deal with coins. It is because I didn't get any donations about 4 months now :D Those sent from Github Sponsor or Patreon were also returned to donators as well. I received $200-ish donations so far.

We are currently the 2nd largest instance in Lemmy. After lemmy.world, we're bigger than lemmy.ml and lemm.ee! I don't think it will work this way anymore. On an annual basis, I need to spend a month's salary for Lemmy NSFW.

Does anyone have an idea to solve this problem?

Human body disgusts me, and I am entitled to have this feeling as I am a human.

I choose to use a sfw instance and I expect systems to respect my choice. If some malicious actor posts NSFW stuff then ok. There is a report button and moderation will remove it as it is against the rules.

~~But in this situation there isn't a clear viaiolation of rules. So I need to change the system itself. This is open source. I can change stuff and I will.~~

Actually lemmynsfw.com prohibits nsfw avatars under temporary rule no. 1

I will just report that.

~~I will defederate on the instance that I am an admin of. I will petition for defederation on instance that I am using. I will open a github issue and make my case for developers. I won't make a PR as it beyond my skill level but that is just a skill issue.~~

Your entitlement to your feelings doesn't dissolve you from abhorrent public comments. At least now you have a proper avenue in which to address your issues with the information you have found. I hope you look for such paths in the future instead of the nasty comments you made hastily. Again, you can expect a system to respect your choice but that doesn't mean you will be protected by said system. I hope the great devs that continue to improve this platform are able to address the nsfw avatar as many can have profiles which may offend others.
