As admins, we removed the scat communities, thinking that scat was covered by the NSFL. However, some people have opposing views on this matter. What do you think about it? If people want it allowed, then we can restore content.

Edit: My answer for friends in the comments; The main reason NSFL was banned is because we currently don’t have the tools to separate porn from NSFL. I’m in favor of the ban because I think its the same way in scat. If we had enough tools right now, we wouldn’t be ban the NSFL either. Although, I agree that voting for niche fetishes doesn’t make sense.
Edit 2: Also I don’t want to think about shit anymore. I’m out 😀 https://lemmynsfw.com/post/117500
Brooo, we’re so getting defederated.
Like, fr, I vote to ban it and this is why. An instance that allows gore and scat is almost definitely only going to be federated with other such instances. That stuff seriously needs its own instance, just for the safety of every other, more standard community. If scat shows in the all feed of another instance just one time, this instance will be instantly dead.
Does it matter if LemmyNSFW gets defederated? I don’t really care to see regular stuff on here. I’m here for porn.
Yeah, to some of us it does. I’d prefer not to have to swap between a bunch of identical accounts just to be able to go from checking the subs I mod to looking at tech news.
If you’re fine with being defederated, why not just start up your own instance and take on that risk yourself? No reason to have the rest of us get defederated just because you’re okay with it.
I think having their own instance would be better for everyone, and that goes for more than just the scat people
