I was initially sus of lemmy.ml since they defederated from nsfw instances
That's right, not wanting to have SFW communities interrupted by porn and gore is sus.
that's just very controlling which is what authoritarian tend to do.
Right. Sus, like I said. You can't trust people willing to use their authority to protect kids.
Although, when it's put like that, it seems people are also sus who want to or would use their authority to force users to accept the risk of seeing porn and gore by allowing NSFW communities. You know. They could always go somewhere else that already allows it but no they've got to cry that they want it here or there, a place they already don't like and don't want to visit.
Censoring is protecting right.... Nsfw should be in the options to enable, not on by default, but to censor it completely is authoritarian. Dictating which content is allowable= authoritarian
