A user on our instance reported a post on lemmynsfw as CSAM. Upon seeing the post, I looked at the community it was part of, and immediately purged all traces of that community from our instance.
I approached the admins of lemmynsfw and they assured me that the models with content in the community were all verified as being over 18. The fact that the community is explicitly focused on making the models appear as if they’re not 18 was fine with them. The fact that both myself and one a member of this instance assumed it was CSAM, was fine with them. I was in fact told that I was body shaming.
I’m sorry for the lack of warning, but a community skirting the line trying to look like CSAM isn’t a line I’m willing to walk. I have defederated lemmynsfw and won’t be reinstating it whilst that community is active.

Depending on who you ask, I “don’t understand”, I “haven’t read sufficiently”, I’m “body shaming” or, as you claim, I’m acting selfishly.
The truth is it’s none of those things.
I’m trans myself, and I’m quite clear on what I’ve done and why. I understand that not everyone agrees, and that’s fine. There are other instances and communities out there, and most of them federate with lemmynsfw. I am doing my best to foster a safe community as best I know how. That’s never going to be what everyone wants, and even for those who do want the same, the specifics of how to achieve it will vary from person to person.
If the vision of this space fits your needs, it’s here for you. If it doesn’t, there are no doubt others that do fit your needs. And you’re welcome to exist in both spaces if that suits your needs. But what I’m not going to do is turn around and enable content that can be easily mistaken for CSAM because people think I should.

If your request is “I want to have access to a space that generates content that can be confused for CSAM”, it’s not going to happen.

It feels like it’s more about you wanting to force pornography on people that clearly aren’t interested
You can go join a different community.
Spin up your own even, and defederate with blahaj if it bothers you so much. That’s what the fediverse is for.
Not for you to have a temper tantrum that easily accessible CSAM was pulled away from you.
