If that instance is too much for even exploding heads https://exploding-heads.com/post/139643 then it should also be too much for us. Almost all other instances also block these types of instances. Especially since this instance is Canadian and I bet a lot of us are Canadians and I think the laws relating to this type of content are far more strict here. I would prefer to be completely unrelated to these types of communities and instances.

I am generally against defederation but to me this is even worse than the botted instances.

Edit: I hope that as people find new instances or new instances like this open up we can proactively also defederate from them.

    Hey all, after finding out that they were a loli friendly community I went ahead and blocked this instance. Didn’t want to wait to go for a vote on this for obvious reasons shared by many of you. Thank you for your support

      Sadly I don’t think they are the only one. But it’s good that we now know where we stand with these instances and they can be defederate as the show up. Thank you for your hard work @[email protected]

    aye child porn content seems like an emergency

    Id argue the admins are compelled by law to act on this without any agora process at all.

    Aye.

    This is a Canadian instance and depictions of children (real or drawn) for sexual purposes is illegal in Canada.

    Aye

    Drawn child porn is not something I want on my timeline. I’ve blocked multiple communities, but they keep getting made. Especially since jerboa doesn’t blur NSFW yet this has been exhausting.

    There was a fucking graph one made showing what was allowed on their community. It started at 19 ended at 1. The ‘not allowed’ section was at the extremes, both too old (late teens) and too young (babies).

    Fucking disgusting pedophile shit.

    Aye

    I believe defederation should be reserved for severe issues, and I absolutely believe this qualifies.

    I don’t know what it is, but if it really allows what the exploding head thread says, I say defederate it.

    I think this post should be a [Discussion] post first, before it goes to the [Vote] stage.

      I don’t think there needs to be much discussion here. Drawn child porn is a fairly well understood concept.

        You’re not wrong. This is one case where I’d agree that they should be defederated.

        And it’s been done: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/401417 TheDude just defederated them.

        I’m just hoping that we can get some ground rules in place for how we post to The Agora. Jumping straight to a vote should be left for extreme cases (and, this could be considered one.)

        Let’s make The Agora a place of thoughtful discussion, where people feel like they can speak their mind without being attacked for it, where people can respond to others without being attacked for it, and where courtesy and respect are freely given.
