Can we get a consensus on whether our community should de-federate with servers that host loli? I personally think we should block them, and if that ends up not being the consensus here then I'll probably sign up on another server. I hope we can all agree to set that boundary though because I like it here and it seems otherwise pretty cool.

This post has the same energy as parents asking legislative bodies to not allow nudity or violence in media for the entire country. What you gain in ease of use, you lose in censorship by not getting the choice to decide.

I don’t particularly care for the loli stuff but asking the admins to make that decision deprives me of choice. This instance already defederated lemmy.grad because they’re tankies and while that happens to align with my personal beliefs, it is a slippery slope.

Loli stuff is illegal though, at least in the United States. Viewing even accidentally can be considered a crime. The OP has a valid point.

As far as I know it isn't illegal in the US since the Ashcroft case in 2003, but exists in a gray area subject to the standard Miller test for obscenity that all pornography is subject to. I seriously doubt incidental viewing of it would be a crime. But I 100% could be wrong as I am not a lawyer.
