• student brought a bb gun to class and fired it at the japanese exchange teacher
• graduating year kids decided to “prank” a pregnant teacher by covering the stairs to her office in slippery material (eggs, iirc)
• another graduation “prank” was to let horses out of their field; they got onto train tracks and, well … no more graduation pranks
• history of teachers and staff sexually abusing students
• graveyard full of dead monks

“Considered Harmful” Considered Harmful, 2002

I’m with HE on this one. KF is absolutely against their ToS, and if the various middle providers between HE and KF aren’t going to step in, they’re within their rights to drop that traffic.

At this level the Internet is still somewhat decentralized. KF can continue to find other hosts and ISPs that condone their horror, and said providers and peers have the right to drop them for being terrible. They could register their own ASN, broadcast routes, and other providers could still refuse to peer with them. I think this is good, actually.

but what about The Slippery Slope? next conservatives will be making ISPs take down vulnerable minorities! shouldn’t legislation be handling this?

The conservative folks are already attacking LGBTQ+ and any other minorities they want via legislation. Why would you think this is a good argument?

encino man > george of the jungle

and i will fight anyone who disagrees

whoa whoa whoa

how can we have a flamewar if youre going to be all reasonable like that

i mean

i picked blahaj as my main and have felt vindicated in that choice repeatedly

the admins moderation and federation stances are solid imo

and they know what theyre doing on the technical front too so i dont expect downtime to be a concern

valid

thank you for the first civil and kind disagreement i have had on social media since

well

probably ever 💖

when those users find out a instance largely made up of queer folk defederated with their instance don’t you think they’d be more likely to make an account on another instance and bring the hate here?

I can’t think why that would be the case. Bigots gonna bigot. I think they’re likely to harass queer people because we exist, and anything that makes that harder (e.g. defederating instances that protect them) is good actually.

“Don’t feed the trolls” never really worked, it just meant they continued to exist without opposition.

unless the admin is supportive of that behavior it would make more sense to give them a chance to deal with that on their own

I disagree. Harmful, bigoted content is already being posted there. Defederating now protects this community from being exposed to it.

If the admin is responsive and deals with the issue, we can always federate with them at that point.

gods i love this place 💖

My issue is not with the individuals portrayed, but with the community, the framing, and the instance’s administration. My understanding is that the blahaj admins have similar issues.

But sure, have fun arguing with the strawman you’ve constructed.

The point of federated instances is that they can make their own decisions around federation, moderation, administration, etc.

This post is not intended for negotiating and arguing about this decision. This is the admins of this instance letting members know of a decision they’ve made. If you’re a member here, cool, this affects you. It’s not going to change, though, so if you don’t like it there’s plenty of other instances that will continue to federate with lemmynsfw.

If you’re not a member, this doesn’t affect you, and your opinion is literally just noise here. Feel free to start a post decrying the prudish, authoritarian stance of the blahaj admins and espousing your need to allow CSAM adjacent material literally anywhere else.

thank you 💖
