It is right now super frustrating to be in the situation I do not see vast amounts of the lemmyverse, because of it.
One of the reason I joined this is because the sharp blocking of NSFW content goes against my principles of sexpositivity and I don’t believe a free community can exist without acknowledging that part of the user group. Nobody banned reddit for having gonewild, so what is going on here?
I don’t think its a flaw at all. The decentralized nature allows users to make the decision on which instance to browse that meet all of their needs. There are instances out there that federate with both LemmyNSFW and Lemmy.ML. You could just browse those instances and still see the content you like seeing.
You say that as if the blocks are a known factor. They are not easily visible to users, and instances can block others on a whim like beehaw did to some others very recently.
Worst of all, when users had subscriptions and connections active from a time when there wasn’t yet a block in place, they don’t even get warnings or notifications when trying to post or comment? Subscriptions don’t give warnings either?
