We have over a period of time gotten repeated reports of unmarked NSFW posts in certain communities. All of these communities share the same singular mod, who have shown indifference when content has been reported. As leaving NSFW posts unmarked is against our instance rules, we have moved to set the rule-breaking communities to hidden.
Those of you who subscribe to hidden communities will continue to see them as normal, for everyone else these communities will look empty and hidden from c/all.
The newly hidden communities are:
- !thiccmoe@ani.social
- !cybermoe@ani.social
- !fitmoe@lemmy.world
- !kemonomoe@ani.social
- !streetmoe@ani.social
- !midriffmoe@ani.social
- !fangmoe@ani.social
- !murdermoe@lemmy.world
- !officemoe@ani.social
- !gothmoe@ani.social
- !meganemoe@ani.social
- !morphmoe@ani.social
- !militarymoe@ani.social
We would also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that programming.dev’s policy is to by default hide political communities, pornographic communities and communities hosting bot spam. Users seeking such content can subscribe to hidden communities so see them as normal.
Just recently we also went ahead and hid communities from lemmygrad due to the politics clause.
As always we encourage our local users to report content that break our instance rules. All content you report are seen by the admin team and helps inform the team of what’s going on across the fediverse.
I don’t think so at all.
I am on sopuli.xyz mostly because it’s run by finns, but also because they defederate and block pornographic instances and communities, which I do not want to see.
Given that there is transparency, then, this type of instance-level curation, means each user can choose on what instance they would like to create an account, and get a starting-point for the kind of content they would like to curate.
This decision makes programming.dev a perfect home for users that were going to block these communities anyway.
Yeah, you can just block everything you don’t like, but if theres an instance with a policy that aligns with what you want, you can cut down on that work a lot by just setting up your user there.
