I think all the people that want questionable content legally hosted to do it their damn selves and learn the consequences of that choice or shut the hell up.

If clients can’t handle this seamlessly then the federated concept as a whole is dead on arrival anyway.

This is overkill, just don’t host anything you aren’t comfortable with, and let people go make their own for anything you aren’t. That’s the entire point of defederated design. Ignore the idiots who think this is reddit and are screaming about censorship and let them go deal with the headaches involved by making their own places. Signed a fellow sys admin of many years who actually knows what this is like.

there is no reason to feel pressure to host a community you don’t want to. That’s the entire point of defederation. They’re free to go host their own somewhere else, and you’re preventing a lot of issues with the current federation states by not lowering your own bar of obscenity / legal / censor risk past where you’re comfortable.

except this isn’t reddit. thats the entire point of defederated design, they can go make one and not cause a lot of problems for this one, not to mention that the admin doesn’t want to deal with it.

let me say it again, this is not reddit, there is no reason to force a fed to host something they don’t want to just go host it elsewhere.

To be explicit about it: this is how you lose the obscenity test and tank the entire community.
