A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

My opinion:
There are a lot of lessons we can learn from the downfall of tumblr for the Fediverse aswell. I am glad there are Mastodon communities which welcome explicit content creators. But some of the comments for that video suggest that they aren't able to connect to people outside of that bubble, since these people's instances might block NSFW ones.
In addition to that, blocking tags like #abuse is an awesome mental health feature which should definitely be embraced by the Fediverse and Lemmy in particular.
I think a lot of times that's due to the risk of hosting potentially illegal federated content from nsfw instances.
yes, doesn't change that it's an issue.
