The admins on lemmynsfw.com have decided to allow “non-IRL loli”, i.e. drawn porn involving children/teenagers. (Post: https://lemmynsfw.com/post/29633).

Irrelevant of the moral issues that this poses, such content is illegal in many countries (e.g the UK). Continuing to federate with lemmynsfw.com will put users at risk of significant legal repercussions.

Please would the admins consider defederating unless lemmynsfw change their policy.

UPDATE: The lemmynsfw admins posted an clarification here: https://lemmynsfw.com/post/29826. My original argument for defederating doesn’t stand any more.

    You can sign up for lemmy or kbin at a number of different URLs and they all work together. But each site is run by different people. I see you’re on kbin.social

    The kbin.social administrators can block entire other URLs, and all their content and users. This is called defederating. Since anyone can start a lemmy/kbin site some of them allow really hateful or gross things, and you can’t do much else but block them.
