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

    It’s another of those things where it won’t be problem once lemmy develops more.

    Right now, if I’m scrolling all, I can get hit with a face full of scat before I can implement a block. Which is a major problem for anyone using anything but jerboa or web, since none of the other apps can block things yet.

    Lemmy doesn’t have a flair system to auto filter things preemptively (though I think the connect app does it an the app).

    I’m not a prude. I used to be a nurse’s assistant, so nudity is meh to be, and I’ve seen more feces than is fair. I’ve had more feces on me than most people ever see in their life, tbh. But it would be very nice to not have to run across it because someone here made a brand new c/ that I haven’t blocked yet. And again, and again, and again.

    Hell, all the damn furry futa is at least funny for someone that isn’t into the kink. But, for fucking real, I have seen all the shit I want to see in my life. That should be opt in only kink, you feel me? I can’t opt out of seeing it the first time. So, yeah, maybe the idea of someone making an extreme kink instance that’s easier to avoid since everyone will defederate it while leaving this one alone is a good idea.

    Just saying, there are some things that are just not going to be welcomed by other instances. Scat is one that’s likely to cause more trouble than it’s worth.

      I would like to continue browsing all to pick up on interesting slices. I don’t terribly mind filtering out stuff I’m not intersted. What I mind is the ridiculous amount of communities being pumped out for every concievable permutation and subvariation of interests.

      Off-topic, but I’ve seen this sort of hopeful thinking a lot on here, and I’m not really sure where it’s coming from. When are you expecting Lemmy development to fix this, and what are you basing that on?

        It’s a necessary function. It’s just a matter priorities and time.

        So, manually basically part hope, part prediction, and part projection lol.

          I just worry about being too presumptuous. I don’t want to crush any optimism; I’d love to see the project grow and improve with new features to better serve the community’s needs. On the other hand, I also realize those changes won’t happen simply because everybody expects them to.
