Floating Is Fun

We're chasing that dream-like feeling of floating free in the air and playing around, be it real or fantasy. Any post type that conveys this feeling is welcome. Check the post flairs for examples.
What qualifies for Floating Is Fun is open to interpretation. I encourage everyone to post what they like to see. Give us a gentle push and we'll float pretty far.
We started on Reddit /r/FloatingIsFun in 2021 and moved here in 2023. All 400+ posts from the original from the original subreddit have been reposted here, so you're not missing anything.
On our home instance fedia.io, we have custom CSS with banner images by neko and by ke-ta

The current mod.
I can no longer upvote or comment, as I was banned for saying I would stop posting.
In short: The mod prodded me to tag a post as NSFW. The first time I complied but complained. The second time they wanted me to tag this as NSFW, and in response to that I said I would just stop posting because clearly my judgement is then insufficient for determining what is safe to post.
I deleted the post so as to not deliberately violate community rules, and removed the community from my posting tool, and by the time I was done I was banned for a year for "deliberately breaking community rules", when in reality I was literally committing to following them by no longer posting.
Yikes. I read this exchange and that was way more passive-aggressive than it had to be. I agree, though: you were more than willing to comply with [email protected] 's rules, and got banned anyway. You were civil in that post, and you've always been civil with me too.
What's NSFW is subjective and hard to judge. I'm lenient on our NSFW rule, and I've pushed NSFW limits a few times on occasion. I think this and this are perfectly fine. On the old subreddit, I used to tell people to keep NSFW things to their own subreddits, but those NSFW balloon/bubble/inflation communities don't seem to exist on Lemmy and Mbin.
Currently, my instance can't see [email protected], or but I'll post there when I can. ~~This could be due to Fedia's ongoing federation issues.~~ Ani.social isn't getting Floating Is Fun's updates either.
Edit: Fedia.io has defederated with ani.social. Well, uh, that complicates things. Hmm.
What has me really confused, is that VBB made the point that the sensitive tag is inconsistent and includes safe material because it includes everything that was in the old "safe" tag, yet their enforcement apparently does take the form of just offloading the rating to the boorus (as if they even contain every image ever drawn) where if any image happens to be rated sensitive there, then it must be tagged here.
They even went in and retroactively had zeograd add the tag on some old posts after banning me, that were apparently fine when posted, but are indeed rated "sensitive" on danbooru.
No use of ones own judgement allowed.
Oh and uuh, why is ani.social apparently worth defederating? Any word from the admins on that?
I looked around, but I couldn't find any word on ani.social being getting an #InstanceBlock from fedia.io.
The closest I could find was last week where programming.dev blocked a bunch of your moe communities there. It seems people aren't comfortable having moe art show up in their /all feeds, and that's understandable, but I don't think it's worth defederating a whole instance over.
No, I was in that thread agreeing with their decision. If their users don't like it, that's what they should do, but defederating is a much, much more severe action.
