We don’t want to overmoderate, but we have to add some rules for ease of moderation and cooperation with other instances in the federation.

  • 1. Non-flagged NSFW posts: Although we already had a rule about it, we were applying it a little more flexibly. From now on, posts that are not properly flagged as NSFW will be deleted without notice.

  • 2. NSFW community icons: As NSFW status can be added to communities, we think that hiding/blurring community icons is the responsibility of clients like Mlem, Jerboa or Lemmy-UI. That’s why NSFW community icons are allowed.

  • 3. NSFW user avatars: Unlike community icons, users do not have an NSFW status. For this reason, NSFW user icons are banned. This rule may change as a result of improvements in Lemmy.

In order to apply the 3rd rule, the user will be informed first. Any post or comment made afterward may result in a ban due to non-compliance with the rule.

    Nope, SFW ones are not required to be marked. With your example, content from the celebs community is not required if it’s SFW.

      Hi, thanks for the clarification, I’ll re-set /c/celebs as SFW and keep the flags only on actual NSFW posts

        Just my 2c, I’d suggest keeping /c/celebs marked NSFW… in case anyone posts something NSFW without marking it. By the time mods catch it, it will already be in SFW federation feeds. Does this make sense?
