The admins on lemmynsfw.com have decided to allow “non-IRL loli”, i.e. drawn porn involving children/teenagers. (Post: https://lemmynsfw.com/post/29633).

Irrelevant of the moral issues that this poses, such content is illegal in many countries (e.g the UK). Continuing to federate with lemmynsfw.com will put users at risk of significant legal repercussions.

Please would the admins consider defederating unless lemmynsfw change their policy.

UPDATE: The lemmynsfw admins posted an clarification here: https://lemmynsfw.com/post/29826. My original argument for defederating doesn’t stand any more.

    A quick glance at the post gave me the impression lots of people from that instance are against the change. I’d wait and see how things settle before defederating. Defederating is detrimental to lemmy/kbin growth, it should be a last resort approach.

      The problem with that approach is that it puts users here in legal jeopardy. Right now if I browse “All” rather than “Local” I’m risking jail time

        Not really, mens rea is a pretty universal requirement to be committing a crime

          The problem with that is there are so many. Id rather just be able to block the entire instance all at once. I know for certain I want nothing from lemmynsfw period or any other porn instance. I should be able to just block them off.

          In my mind there’s a big difference between NSFW and child porn, and where I am, that content is considered to be child porn. I’m happy to deal with filtering NSFW content for myself, but I don’t want to risk CP.

          The reason I phrased the OP as a question was that I suspect most users here will have a similar view to me and be in favor of blocking servers hosting CP. If that isn’t the case I’ll happily go find another instance, I don’t want to enforce my boundaries on everyone else.

              The problem is that in my country those drawings are legally the same thing as child porn. As I said in the OP, I’m not making a moral judgement here, but as a purely practical matter that content is concerning to me.
