Yup. Can’t find it any more, but one of the bigger instances apparently defederated from lemmynsfw over that. Not at all surprised since I think I first knew they existed when the admin (?) made that post that could be summed up as “Okay, I know I said we would allow all the loli hentai out there but a bunch of people called me a pedophile so we aren’t doing that anymore”. Didn’t really check back in, but sounds like they continued that boundary pushing and the folk who would have called Chris Hansen noped out already.

And that is really the problem. Moderation is a thankless and incredibly time consuming job to begin with. NSFW content is a multiplier on the time and psychic damage while also meaning you have almost zero chance of monetizing that to justify a second job. So you tend to get the same crowd who are 'free speech absolutists" and don’t really understand what they are getting in to.

It sucks because… porn is awesome. But people are crazy for getting involved with any “decentralized” service where they are storing content they themselves did not actively curate.

I mean, they do. DMCA “requests” go to the ISP and the customer and that is just as easily a starbucks as it is a residential home.

And I speak from (my niece’s) experience: Cops have no problems walking up to the counter in the middle of lunch, forcing their way past all the customers, and very loudly telling the pimply faced teenager that they need to speak with the manager about a child porn investigation. I was not privy to the actual discussions but… they lost a lot of business that day and, when I go back to visit family, I still hear that coffee shop referred to as “the pedophile place”.

This is WHY any sane public wifi is behind a captive portal and likely has a LOT of security and spyware running in the background.

I mean he’s not. He did literally allow CP to be uploaded. And he literally wasn’t legally protected.
