Definitely thought the one on the right was wearing a plug, at first.

I miss 90's techno-libertarian utopianism. A little naive in retrospect, but I'm still hopeful that it'll still have some relevance going forward.
- Comment on Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ? 5 months ago:
Yes, I block lemmy.ml communities when I notice them, just because I don't want to accidentally contribute anything to that instance. Some of the users are okay, but the admins are not.

You seem to be implying that I'm arguing something that I'm not? This thread started with me lamenting that piefed.social accounts are prohibited from accessing NSFW communities, and inquiring whether feddit.online would have the same policies. Along with some commentary on the general state of the threadiverse's culture.
Note that I haven't asked either admin to *host* said communities, and I specifically acknowledged the caching issue. Nor am I advocating for them to be treated on absolutely equal footing; they're specially marked so that people who don't want to see them can filter them out, which I think is a good thing.
what do you think will happen if you create an online space and put a big billboard saying "here you will always be free to share your NSFW content"?
If you're specifically advertising it as focused on that, then that's likely what you'll get. If you allow NSFW but don't center it, you'll end up with something like Reddit, Twitter, or pre-ban Tumblr. While there are things to criticize about those sites, very little of it has to do with porn.
Content discovery of porn should not be as easy and it should not be trivialized under the pretense of "sex positivity".
Why? That absolutely sounds like a sex-negative attitude to me. It's treating sexuality as something toxic that needs to be suppressed and hidden even from those that are interested in seeing it. Sex positivity means treating sexuality as a normal thing that is not unusual for people to be interested in.

Every one wants to talk about supportive they are on sex positivity until some men in uniform knocks on their doors because they are running a website that is available for minors all around the world.
Are you speaking from first-hand experience, or is this conjecture? At least in the US, complying with the law isn't that difficult.
Also, I don't even want to get in the discussion of "sex positivity" being associated with "easily available porn".
That's an odd way to avoid discussing it. Do you think the availability of porn (or prohibition thereof) within an online space has no effect on what kind of culture develops there?

I've considered it, but my skillset isn't really suited to it as a solo project. I can write code, and I have a reasonable understanding of the human factors side of things, but my IT skills are lacking. I'd be happy to join a team of like-minded people undertaking such a project, though.

It's not that I want the threadiverse to deliver porn to me. I'm capable of finding that myself. It's that I like sex-positive culture and think it's a good thing for humanity overall.
As I noted, my complaint isn't about any specific instance admin. Individually, no one should be required to host or cache anything that they don't want to. However, the overall trend of blocking NSFW communities is still concerning, and we should advocate for admins to not do that where feasible.
The design decision to hide NSFW communities from logged-out users also plays a part here. Community discovery is bad enough as it is, and this makes it even worse. Last I checked, lemmynsfw was having to maintain their own patch to fix it, and keep maintaining it as new lemmy versions are released. Kbin and PieFed also copied this decision, and I assume Mbin inherited it.

Good to see another public PieFed instance. Any idea if this one allows subscribing to NSFW communities? They're entirely blocked by piefed.social, unfortunately.
Nothing against @rimu (or any other individual admin) for not wanting to deal with having NSFW content cached on his server, but I find the collective prudishness of the threadiverse disheartening. I think it hinders our growth, and fosters a worse culture overall. It's kind of ironic that Reddit, for all it's other flaws, is more sex-positive than the threadiverse is.
