Lemmy NSFW

Maybe this is just a problem I’m having, but I can’t access LemmyNSFW with my VPN (Proton VPN) on. I typically have it running all the time, but it seems even more important that it work considering the subject matter.

One other issue I’m having is following users. Is that possible? Or am I just missing it?

I think this instance shouldn't try to be federate with the other and accept the role of being the porn hub of Lemmy in wich people makes and account to enter (I did to have porn separated of memes and news).

This should aliviate the need to be so restrictive, specially the broad and ambiguous restrictions like the ones on "nom consent" for drawings in wich consent is... In the eye of the beholder so to speak.

What should we use to post videos/gifs. It should be integrated in the site itself. No one likes to click a link and go to other site to watch a video/gifs.

I asked @yay@lemmynsfw.com a couple weeks ago about possibly having RedGifs links fully working with proper embedding (like on reddit). Not sure if the recent changes about the instance admins will have any impact on this kind of things, so I'm posting this just to check if it's something that it's still being worked on. Again, no rush :)

Yeah, I'm out. I was enjoying this instance at first, but it clearly has shown itself to not be hentai friendly. The rules are way too strict, and are about to get even stricter?? I was going to attempt to work within the rules anyway with my communities, but banning @paddedperson has shown me that I don't infact want to stay here at all. They were running most of the hentai communities here and we were starting to work together to make our communities even better. They had legitimate concerns about the rules that were not being addressed. I've also stated my concerns in this post and have not had any response.

I feel like the admins are disproportionately biased against drawn/hentai artwork.

A lot of the gonewild communities here are allowing unverified reposted images, and I’d venture a random guess that maybe 30% of the content is posted without the model’s knowledge or permission, which poses issues with privacy/consent law (etc).

So why ban hentai scat/bestiality communities yet leave the actually illegal communities untouched? If the admins were as strict with IRL content as they were with hentai, all of these legally questionable communities should be “temporarily” banned until better moderation tools exist.

There’s clearly a double standard here that exists.

I would also like the option to disable downvotes in my community. Thank you.

Edit: I meant disable downvoting for posts only, not sure about comments. It's currently too easily to manipulate voting like it is on reddit.

Not specifically about the instance but people only here to solicit customers for onlyfans cheapen the place, it would be nicer if there was a community for selling, and the rest didn't allow that.
