It is. It has the same people on it from exploding-heads and is currently linked to nostr.

Yay! Some cool new features it seems

It’s a known issue with lemmy right now. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2072

I actually helped discover the issue and triage it with others, so hopefully there will be a fix for it soon.

mastodon and lemmy interaction is very wonky unfortunately

Lemmy UI updates broke our frontend that allowed NSFW without logging and we’ve been too focused on other things to be able to fix it

Thank you! This is so awesome

100%, we will implement it when we can :)

Hey, please tag this as NSFW

What porn instances have defederated from each other? None that I know of have.

Seem it might’ve gotten lost during the migration, we’re figuring it out.

They are causing issues overall, so we can’t really leave them alone since they won’t leave others alone.

Hey, this could have been better as a DM to either an admin or the user. This is a conversation worth having, but doing it in this way is not productive nor is it respectful.

By default lemmy as a software, the whole photo database is stored directly into a file folder that links itself to the drive. The entire photos. And of course the drive just rapidly inflates like a balloon since it stores not just local images but federated images

That’s how Lemmy does so by default. I wish I was kidding 🙃

It’s ironic cause object storage for pictrs is a relatively new feature

Admin for lemmynsfw here, and I just wanna say that we desperately need instance blocking for lemmy. Or at least some way for instances to be able to restrict NSFW content in /all. Some people do not want to see NSFW content or simply can’t, and that’s more than fine.

I’m not really down with this being presented as drama, it’s unfortunate the way it played out but overall its their choice to defederate. We actively encourage other instances who forbid pornography to defederate from us. Lemmy.ml, sopuli, etc etc we are totally fine with, we have no malice or hate towards them because thats their choice and their reasons and concerns for doing so are more than legitimate especially with how limited lemmy is right now and the locations that they host their site at. We have open discussions with other instance admins and welcome discussions of their potential concerns, it’s just we didn’t really know what the concerns were beyond “this looks wrong because it looks wrong delete it” which made it extremely frustrating to try to figure out concisely what the problem was so we could address it.

My only issue is it being presented as if we are fine with CSAM, when we aren’t and to be accused of that is extremely serious.

It was. I had a conversation with the community moderator, and concerns were expressed due to the legal grey area it falls under. The mod was not punished nor was in any kind of trouble. The deletion was amicable. I gave the moderator a go ahead previously while it was discussed with the team and while we were figuring out how to best navigate our rules. After a bit more consideration and talk with the team and looking deeper into emerging AI laws, we felt it was too much of a grey area to leave up.

Oh hey, I didn’t see you deleted the post my bad. Lemme just copy what I was going to say if that’s alright.

So, we allow people to talk about and tell others to go to burgitt.moe but we do so with an asterisk and when we see people post about it we really try to make an effort to warn others about what they might be getting into. We aren’t deleting the posts talking about it, because overall if people want to go that their choice and thats the nature of the fediverse.

The issue with burgitt isn’t exclusively the loli/shotacon thing. Yeah, it’s a big factor but there’s a lot more to it for both our team and many other instances. They explicitly are trying to replicate reddits openness that led to the r/jailbait scandal, and there needs to be reasonable limits on social media sites for very clear legal reasons. Lemmy is limited in more ways than reddit is (and was even then) right now, and to host NSFW content of any kind you kind of need to jerry rig shit together to make it somewhat functioning and be able to address issues. There’s limited confidence they will be able to properly report, address, and handle suspected illegal content on their servers due to their hands off management. Maybe they have procedure, I don’t know and can’t say. Another thing with that is that they explicitly ignore DMCA requests, which is also extremely legally problematic for federated content hosts.

On top of all that, their site is hosted in the Netherlands. A place currently being circled by Interpol for hosting a large portion of CSAM online. The EU is specifically building ways to crack down on websites that host any legally problematic content in the Netherlands purely due to the sheer mass right now. Beyond that, they may not be American but their refusal to follow DMCA also presents a risk of being raided by Interpol as well. There’s a legal misconception that the Netherlands is a safe offshore host for ignoring DMCAs, and that just isn’t true. They are a part of the EU, and actively cooperate with American authorities because they legally are required to. Specific companies do not fuck around when it comes to DMCA.

All of that leads to the Interpol risk, and what that means. If they seize the site, they would try to read the database and almost certainly attempt to scan thru it. And authorities seizing fediverse based websites isn’t even a new thing either, there was a Mastodon instance that was raided a few months ago with the database being analyzed by authorities and it has been up without any info of that raid serving as a honeypot collecting user information. That’s a risk you are putting yourself up to.
