isn’t that fine? if i don’t want to interact with marxist-leninist instance, for instance, then i don’t itneract with posts or people from there. That’s why we have instance blocking.
I thought the idea of instances is to cater to different clubs or tribes of people.
Also the ideology of a nsfw community is a straight-forward issue.
Also the ideology of a nsfw community is a straight-forward issue.
You’d think so, but like… What about disagreements over what type of content should be allowed? Should they allow AI generated stuff? Revenge porn? Illustrated art depicting minors? Specific extreme fetishes?
That feels like a weak argument, revenge porn is a crime, so is illustrated csam. A quick check of why someone thinks either of those should be allowed would either lead to their greater understanding of the topic or the realization that they’re not qualified to make these decisions.
Extreme fetishes could be a hard topic. Needles and blood play skeeve me the hell out, but the flow chart goes “all parties consent and enjoy -> does not incriminate host-> allowed to exist.” So it isn’t up to my skeeves to yuck someone’s yum.
Also the ideology of a nsfw community is a straight-forward issue.
What does this mean? I’m talking about how an instance should or can be governed. Poster before me indicated an instance should be managed by a community, which drags politics - thus ideology - into the conversation. It’s hard to create community governance on a platform with a single root admin. This is also the case on git repos in terms of governance. And when that is the case, moving away seems the only option, unless the platform developers feel adventurous enough to implement a whole community-as-root-account feature, where they will then run into the questions I’ve mentioned.
