EDIT: It could be that this list is incomplete or something went wonky when they went through their domain drama. Looking around some of the larger servers hexbear.net is on the blocked list, but that isn’t being reflected on the tool linked above. Some servers are defederated from either side but certainly not most.
By many less liberal lefties, porn is seen as inherently exploitative. The roots of the industry to this day are in some circumstances watered with human trafficking and barrels of cum misogyny, so it’s not a totally unreasonable position, it just is one more issue that is construed as black or white when in reality, the subject is far more nuanced.
Edit: Also many instances have no age verification and might be by local law obligated to block NSFW-content for their users.
They’re defederated from a couple of the larger servers and a few of the smaller ones.

Working is inherently exploitative but sex work is just another job.
If the sex worker is doing it voluntarily. That is sadly a very, very big if.
