A user on our instance reported a post on lemmynsfw as CSAM. Upon seeing the post, I looked at the community it was part of, and immediately purged all traces of that community from our instance.
I approached the admins of lemmynsfw and they assured me that the models with content in the community were all verified as being over 18. The fact that the community is explicitly focused on making the models appear as if they're not 18 was fine with them. The fact that both myself and one a member of this instance assumed it was CSAM, was fine with them. I was in fact told that I was body shaming.
I'm sorry for the lack of warning, but a community skirting the line trying to look like CSAM isn't a line I'm willing to walk. I have defederated lemmynsfw and won't be reinstating it whilst that community is active.
You can always check out pornlemmy.com. They are not about anything drawn or even close to underage. And with the issue that lemmynsfw.com had with their loli fiasco, I get more worried about it now.
we are treading strange waters, but it's easy to agree, i want none of it; it being sexualizing children
i was about to write a big thing, badly, but fuck all that
That is not true. I found 3 communities in pornlemmy which feature body types very similar to the ones in the comm in question. The description of the last one is blatantly worse than the one in the comm in question
spoiler
someone who's better prepared than me needs to set up an instance kinda like pornlemmy except for "unambiguously legal drawn/animated porn" as there's plenty of it out there but because Redditors(tm) (derogatory) we can't have nice things
i am nowhere near patient enough (nor have the resources) to set up something like that but it feels like with the trajectory lemmynsfw is taking we're gonna need one
