I have been hearing all weekend about the server mod asking another server, one that allows adult content, to ban it.

Curiosity finally got the better of me, and I looked it up. Unsurprisingly, the server trying to moderate others has the longest list of server rules I have ever seen.

@maxleibman they don’t want porn at all? Or just “homosexual pornography”? Because that’s… oddly specific

I get server rules for what your member can post. But rules like that for who you’ll federate with? Is this a case of things not being properly tagged or marked with a content warning? Or they just don’t think it should exist at all?

I recently came across a post tagged “fitness” that I assumed was CW’d for like a sweaty face or something. Nope, it was a dick pic. I blocked the account but certainly didn’t message my server admin to defederate the entire instance.

I see posts tagged nsfw or similar and I choose to not view the content. That seems like everyone is being a good neighbor.

Sorry for the long post, this is just…. Well it’s weird.
