Update: I contacted with current big owners, other older friends and lastly from some friends from here. Mostly all of them living in US so they don’t want/can’t host it. So I’ll keep hosting without being on moderation side. @[email protected] will post about details I guess. @[email protected] is the new top admin.

As you know, it has been 2 weeks since I opened the instance and it has grown quite a lot. Likewise, the time I have to devote to this work has increased a lot.

I’m dealing with lemmynsfw more than my IRL job right now :D This is bothering me. Also, having an NSFW instance instead of a normal instance makes things much more difficult. If you remember; I had my biggest scale fuck up with the post “we allow loli content” :) This situation wore me out. Also a lot of problems are bothering me, both as a software and as a community.

That’s why I’m thinking of transferring the instance and the domain to a person I trust. Who can maintain the deployments and also know this stuff. I will also roll over any donations made, excluding the current month’s expenses.

I’m sorry if I’ve upset anyone. That’s all from me.

    You explicitly invited content that would be difficult to discern from illegal, underage nsfw content

    And that was a problem–Yeah, no shit

    To borrow from a comment about kbin: “Making that work requires more mods than a Bethesda game”

    I genuinely appreciate that you wanted and attempted to run an instance that would be largely nonjudgmental on content, but, damn, you really shouldn’t be surprised that inviting “loli” content would be (at the very least) an enormous challenge for moderation

      Dude didn’t know what “loli” actually meant because he’s not a native English speaker. Cut the guy some slack already, it’s not cool to kick sometime when he’s down.

      Instead of downvoting with no response I feel like its worth clarifying, from what I have discussed (to my own knowledge) the intention was not to intentionally invite illegal underage nsfw content or content that is hard to discern from such. There was a desire to establish community transparency on the matter and engage in a discussion on the nuances of such a rule and how far the limits should reach, and it wasn’t really handled well due to a very big language barrier not being able to properly convey the intended conversation in the way it was meant to be presented. FWIW, I am very much personally against loli/shota content and wouldn’t have offered to help out if this wasn’t the case.
