yaeh and they can do that but they will lose users. im not saying they should have to host things they dont want. I’m saying if they want a popular NSFW lemmy instance then banning random communities they dislike is a bad idea.

Definitely. I think regardless of who the torch passes to, there will be a need to work with others to do this. there arent easy anwsers to many of these questions.

My bigger concern with self hosted solutions is that it gives us a single point of failure for things like natural disasters/power.

the 2.5 gigabit should be enough for now, I think hetzner caps out at 10 gig uplinks, and assuming they didnt upgrade from their standard dedicated machines, they would have a 2 gig uplink now

if i were to self host it i have access to a 2.5 up and down link, and i already have experience setting up self hosted content This would limit scalability in the future ( although to what degree is questionable)

I was wondering about the “ensuring content is actually deleted” bit, as right now theres a bug causing deleted posts to show for people. That definitly will need to be resolved in terms of auto purging, we would have to look into it, but i would prefer an alternative solution or a higher bar than just certain types of reports ( like suspending the content until reviewed, or autopurging only on a higher number of reports) that way someone cant just take down comunities by reporting everything.

Yaeh, we would definitly need to migrate then. just becouse they havnet enforced it yet doesnt mean they wont. We could also look at alibaba cloud, which is what reddit uses currently. although then we would have to deal with that whole mess

honestly i had never looked at Hetzner before, and wow looking through its pricing its quite attractive (expecially in regards to network traffic) theres a very good chance i would stick with hetzner.

I beleive the repos are under LemmyNsfw’s git page https://git.lemmynsfw.com/lemmynsfw

It would take me a bit to do more thorough research on what is currently being used, and the issues that people have run into there. But i would be looking at primarily AWS, or Azure. Are you guys self hosting or using a hosting provider already ? Also depending on the current network traffic expectations its possible it could be self hosted (although again this would highly depend on what the current situation is and is very unlikely)

I am in canada, which has no laws preventing the hosting of gore content, They do (obviously) require we prevent CP both real and animated.

Yes I’m sure and i know that’s going to be difficult. Illegal content needs to be prevented on the site. Currently my understandings are that the tools available through Lemmy are slim, and much will start out as a manual process, and pressuring/ ensuring mods are active in patrolling their own communities to the greatest degree possible. However I understand that the buck would stop with me, not with the mods at the end of the day. Shit rolls uphill and if communities are unsafe that would be a failure on whoever hosts this for not providing support to mods, or for allowing unsafe communities to propagate.

I also understand that realistically its going to be a job where you get alot of hate for just about all your decisions :/

I would be able to,i would need information on what it is currently hosted on and access info, but i should otherwise be able to transfer it without issue.

Im a software engineer with a very stable job with flexible hours, and ive been looking for a long term project to get into. if it were transferred to me i could ensure a stable long term home for it. Edit:changing to=>for

I’m glad that’s how you feel, but for many in the us trans is worse than scat. For many in the middle east non straight is worse than scat.

We shouldn’t let the majority dictate what fetishes are allowed niche ones will always lose (again outside of legality issues/concerns, or ones that actively hurt society (even if CP was legal it should be banned due to the damage it does to those affected)

You’ll have to be a bit more specific as I don’t have time to read all of his works… is there a specific book, theory, or argument your referencing here?

so if porn was not allowed on this site, and was only hosted on site with bestiality or CP categories you’re argument is you would never look at porn ? people go to sketchy shitty sites all the time for porn thats not allowed in better spaces.

It really should. If you feel like “people consensually shitting on eachother” is the same as “people raping children” then you need to realize there’s a difference between " I don’t like this" and “this is illegal, rape, and deeply damaging to society”

Thanks for all your work on this, if you end up having a hard time finding someone I would definitly be up for it.

It was under its own community, they just banned that community

Who are you to define what is nsfl. There are people in here arguing consensual non consent is nsfl. How long till furry or trans communities are banned too

Would you guys federate with another instance hosting this sort of data if it gets banned?
