So, a lot of features are coming next update to help alleviate some of the annoyance of federating with NSFW instances.

For context, I defederated from the NSFW instances because they clutter the absolute FUCK out of /all. I mainly anticipated federating with them in time when it could be hidden from /all, but domain blocks seem to be coming next update at least as well as disabling remote image caching.

Would yall be ok if I refederated? Or should we wait a bit more for community silencing and hiding as well.

    I agree with that position. Hopefully, those tools are on the roadmap. Maybe until they arrive, holding federation would be a good move. Anyone who feels strongly about it can create an account on the instance they want to subscribe to.

    Porn is NSFW, I agree. But most erotica is also NSFW. Even some simple photos of shirtless guys or women in bikinis are NSFW, depending on context. It becomes difficult to draw the line. Then consider that we don’t have a universally agreed definition of “porn,” and we’re deep into the weeds.
