I recently was scrolling through my All feed and noticed some NSFW content on lemmynsfw.com. It was blurred but I wasn’t expecting it. What do you all think of this? Should we continue to federate with some NSFW instances? I’m personally OK with it as long as the content is blurred unless I click on it but wanted to get your opinions on it.

Edit: Completely forgot about the NSFW settings that everyone has. We’ll continue federating with NSFW instances going forward.

Not a lawyer. But I would say if the content exists on your host, even in a cache, you would be liable

That’s where I landed too. I’m tempted to run my own instance just for me to avoid hassle with defederations down the line, but it’s a no-brainer to block all nsfw content right now, the risk is crazy.
