I am looking for a place that is as close to “as long as it’s not illegal, it’s allowed” as possible. Is there a good way to narrow down my search without going to every single server and reading their sidebar?
Wrong community; you want one of the Lemmy support forums listed in the sidebar.
Would be very helpful to have that for Mastodon as well. Kind of like a survey which the admins can fill out. I for example have a big problem with the Fediverse’s general strong aversion against sexually explicit content. Voluntary NSFW photos of yourself are also an important part of free self expression and know a bunch personally who do that on other sites.
Just kicking it into the “but this isn’t pornhub” bucket is plain wrong.
nsfw / pornographic content brings up a huge can of possible legal issues, however. So I can understand why instances would be adverse to hosting it
I understand, but Twitter, reddit and old Tumblr was much more open towards that in general.
And why do you think they aren’t any more?
Countries are requiring much stricter rules on it
Yea I mean that’s the whole thing right? Why does there need to be a “no porn” rule when we have Communities? Why can’t communities make their own rules about whether or not they want to allow nsfw? Sometimes I want news about movies or games or current events. Sometimes I want tiddies. I’d like to at least have the option of having all of those things in one place.
The whole point of federation is that you don’t have to pick just one place. You can add communities from nsfw instances, communities from nerd tv instances, communities from your geographic locality, etc…
Yea, if you can find them in the first place…
Isn’t there a lemmynsfw instance for that though?
Yes but even there it has a bunch of rules about which nsfw you can or can’t post. What I want is “as long as it’s not illegal. It’s allowed”
I love how you didn’t even read the sidebar of this community and just posted whatever you wanted anyway.
You are the second person who has commented something similar. I’m not asking about the mechanics of the search mechanism, I’m asking for suggestions. Its pretty easy to understand the implication with the way I worded the question.
