We should defederate from lemmynsfw (kbin.social)

The mods there have decided to allow underage looking content, skirting close to CP. Unless we want such disgusting stuff on our feed, I think we should defederate from that instance.

Pinging @ernest as well.

it might be illegal.

Sounds like an existential risk to the server to federate with them unless they tighten things up then. @ernest is beholden to both the laws of where his server is hosted and where he lives, which I believe are Germany and Poland. If he violates either, there goes the instance and/or him.

Certainly. The instance must abide by the law of the country it’s hosted in. And we users must abide by the laws of our respective countries.

I’ll let ernest and instance mods to worry about the legality of the instance, but I’d like to be able to to control the content that ends up in my browser - domain blocking is a hammer, going forward it would also be nice to get keyword blocking and other tools.

if the instance is beholden to german laws it might be better to move to a new one before this gets too large. otherwise it'll suffer the same fate as traditional social media. no idea what the laws in poland are...
