As admins, we removed the scat communities, thinking that scat was covered by the NSFL. However, some people have opposing views on this matter. What do you think about it? If people want it allowed, then we can restore content.

Edit: My answer for friends in the comments; The main reason NSFL was banned is because we currently don’t have the tools to separate porn from NSFL. I’m in favor of the ban because I think its the same way in scat. If we had enough tools right now, we wouldn’t be ban the NSFL either. Although, I agree that voting for niche fetishes doesn’t make sense.
Edit 2: Also I don’t want to think about shit anymore. I’m out 😀 https://lemmynsfw.com/post/117500
That’s how it works here too… what they are saying is should we ban the scat sub from reddit. If you don’t like scat don’t go to scat, or block the community.
Got it I misunderstood that.
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.
yaeh and they can do that but they will lose users. im not saying they should have to host things they dont want. I’m saying if they want a popular NSFW lemmy instance then banning random communities they dislike is a bad idea.
If clients can’t handle this seamlessly then the federated concept as a whole is dead on arrival anyway.
