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 gonna lie, off topic but this post is a great highlight of my biggest annoyance of this federation stuff.
You say “we” and “you all” in your post but I’m browsing from kbin and had to bother checking wtf “we” meant to see if it even affected me at all. So while I’m not part of the “you all” you address in your post, I’m here.
I just thing that people need to be way more mindful of their language to avoid confusion with all the federation stuff.
No, they’re not.

You should get information from the source rather than playing telephone.
Defederation should be a last resort for problem instances. I don’t understand why so many people are suddenly so defederation-happy all of a sudden. Turn off NSFW content in your settings and just block any communities you don’t want to see. If it remains a problem down the line, then consider defederating.
I’m ambivalent on the issue. I don’t plan to use this instance for NSFW content but I’m not opposed to it. Also, it’s your server, your call. There is an option to not display NSFW content in user profile settings so, as long as content is appropriately tagged, I don’t think it’s a problem.
I agree with most of the sentiment in these comments. Allow users to adjust filters & setting individually. Block individual users if they’re reported. Save defederating for hate speech, brigading, trolling, etc.
