@staff I really am a supporter of free speech and free expression, but I *really* wish you would ban people posting homosexual pornography on your instance.

Gay pride is not about publishing gay pornography.

And it's especially a real pity because mastodon.social is a big instance and pretty central to the Mastodon corner of the Fediverse.

I really do not want to block your whole instance. But it's a real nuisance trying to Limit those accounts.

If people want to publish pornography of whatever kind, they really should join or create focused instances for that.

Don't we want to cultivate a more "family-friendly" environment that will attract a bigger public?

Uncensored pornography on Free Open Source Software networks is precisely what "Big Tech" points at when they say that only corporate social tools are child-safe. And yet we *know* that it's not the case.

It's already a certain workload moderating a Mastodon instance.

If we don't sandbox pornography, when why don't we allow gore and other offensive content?

I actually did a some six weeks of training as a moderator for Meta, so I do have some personal knowledge of the range of content you could be exposed to if nobody moderates anything.

Replying to @admin@burnout.cafe

@staff@mastodon.social hello . i am a supporter of free expression, which is precisely why i really wish you would encourage more people to post homosexual pornography.

i'm the admin of gaysex.cloud, where our official stance is that we actually think gay sex and gay porn is kinda neat and that both are necessary for a healthy gay pride gay rights society.

i really do not want to block your whole instance. But it's a real nuisance seeing all those cishet people not posting gay sex videos (under a content warning, of course)

don't you want to cultivate a "queer-friendly environment" that will attract a bigger audience of sex workers?

uncensored pornography on Free Open Source Software networks is precisely what makes us different from "Big Tech". if We didn't Allow Female Representing Nipples, we'd be just like Tumblr.

if we sandbox pornography, then we might also see less gore and other "offensive" art that people have poured their souls into creating, when those people have no outlet to share the things they made.
