It takes as much effort as that comment did.

Who cares ‍️

If you want to preserve lemmy content launch your own instance and cache it yourself. If you want to control your own communities, launch your own instance and host it yourself.

Fuck! My first account was on lemmy.ee which passed away a few months ago. My second account was on lemmynsfw thinking the presence of porn would be a guarantee of its sustainability. It's like been banned twice from Reddit.

I did some rough math on this and that would be the least of the worries. The cost of hosting a nsfw instance would easily be $500-$1000 per month.

Which leaves me wondering if part of it going down was funding.

You can block instances instead of whining about them.

Wait, what happened?

You cannot expect to atomize your world into billions of isolated individuals without losing something. We need community, individualism will only get you so far.

Real question - how does one host a Lemmy that accepts all sorts of content without having to keep constant tabs on it?

Like, if we did sprinkle nsfw content throughout dozens of Lemmy servers?

I'm asking this because I hosted a pixelfed server one time, allowed thousand users, and those abuse reports became hard on my soul. Some were pretty vanilla nsfw. But some required me to forward it to 3-letter agencies in the States. And while I'm not a fan of talking to the cops, I'm also not a fan of awful shit on my server.

I liked leaving non sexual comments in the NSFW content. Like I would comment on the room decor.

Your point of view here is always wrong. You ALWAYS protect access to the NSFW content regardless of your own frequency of use, because the nut jobs always come for it first, and you're not far after.

https://docs.lemmynsfw.com/ is still up but not updated in 2 years. That's hosted separately on GitHub Pages though, we just know the domain owner is the same

That meme about the cabinets behind the girl with the milk, that was your fault?

Don't make your porn addiction our problem. You can disable show NSFW or block instances and/or communities. You can also switch to an instance like programming.dev which hides pornographic communities by default. You have to manually subscribe to them to see them. Tons of things you can do instead.

That just isn't how the fediverse works. It exists in the moment. If you want it to persist you need to back it up or figure out a plan. Just expecting someone to put up as server for you and leave it up forever is fantasy thinking. Doing it yourself can involve teaming up with people to launch instances or pay for service. The people who don't pay it forward and contribute are leeches, not community members.

My porn addiction?

You people are crying over NSFW being gone, which according to other people here is 95% porn, so please explain which one of us is actually addicted to porn?

Fucking troglodytes need to get your hands out of your pants

Yes I LOVE whack-a-mole, on my media feed. GOD it's so fun.

All I see is crying

Conservatives love to demand everyone else censor themselves for the comfort of conservatives.

You don't want an instance in your feed, you can block it.

'Doesn't agree with me? CONSERVATIVE'

Get fucked, keep your hand out of your pants.

Edit: unless LemmyNSFW going down was actually the result of censorship, at which point imma need you to point to the dots I need to connect.

‘Doesn’t agree with me? CONSERVATIVE’

I can't help it that you want people to censor themselves for your comfort just like conservatives. All you had to do was block the offending instance.
