Next update... should we federate with NSFW instances? (self.meta)

So, a lot of features are coming next update to help alleviate some of the annoyance of federating with NSFW instances.

For context, I defederated from the NSFW instances because they clutter the absolute FUCK out of /all. I mainly anticipated federating with them in time when it could be hidden from /all, but domain blocks seem to be coming next update at least as well as disabling remote image caching.

Would yall be ok if I refederated? Or should we wait a bit more for community silencing and hiding as well.

Is there a universal definition of NSFW? I can imagine instances that would call beach scenes NSFW where less conservative groups would have no problem with them. It changes the calculus, IMO.

What’s your take on the question?

I didn't see your second response I am a silly goose. I think it's very much worth waiting, I have no issue with 18+ content but I don't want it to spam the hell out of /all. Like if there was a way to silence it from /all and make it follower only I would be fine with it

I agree with that position. Hopefully, those tools are on the roadmap. Maybe until they arrive, holding federation would be a good move. Anyone who feels strongly about it can create an account on the instance they want to subscribe to.

Porn is NSFW, I agree. But most erotica is also NSFW. Even some simple photos of shirtless guys or women in bikinis are NSFW, depending on context. It becomes difficult to draw the line. Then consider that we don't have a universally agreed definition of "porn," and we're deep into the weeds.

Basically pornography, like sexual depictions of boobs and butts and genitalia is where I'm gauging from

A good standard :)
