Hi all! As promised, here is the proposed text of the newest version of the rules. The staff has gone through like eight drafts and literally thousands and thousands of matrix posts to get here, so please be kind. You can see @limeey’s comment on the transparency post if you want more insight into how this sausage was made.

We are opening these rules to commentary from the community before they go into effect. To be clear, this isn’t a vote, but we will take all community feedback into account and answer whatever questions we can before finalizing anything.

Please keep in mind that we are not Reddit, we do not have Reddit’s resources, and safety and consent are our priorities.

I’ll post the draft in two parts in two comments: The new sidebar, and the FAQ/clarifications page.

    Congrats on reaching this set of sane rules. The efforts of creating an admin community behind the scenes are really starting to show off.

    Request for clarification for uhmm, a friend of mine: When someone creates that own instance, with blackjack and hookers, and one of your users subscribes to a community there, it will synchronise part of that content to lemmynsfw. What will you do then?

    I’d like to remind you that some beautiful maniacs can be quite reasonable ;)

      So long as it follows our general ethos and their admins are responsive to concerns just like any other federated instance, it will be fine. So long as it’s not hosting illegal (or borderline illegal) content it should be fine. If it comes to that point, we will very likely not be the only instance concerned and feel a need to take action. We want more instances! It’s the point of the fediverse, the more the merrier!

      There’s no one-size-fits-all answer for your, ah, friend. It really depends on the instance.

      If this But we’re hoping to have a NSFW lemmy image that would implement a community level no-federation. This would allow the instance owners to say “I do not want this community’s content sent on the federated platform” - at which point, you could run the instance, host your loli, and just don’t share it with us.

      I mean, it’s your world over there. The shit we’re taking a stance on is mostly legally gray as all hell though so be careful. Also you run the risk of people/instances defederating on principal of “they’re into loli we don’t want anything to do with them”
