@pixiv Hey! I hope you realize this is not personal. In the west, loli content is not acceptable in most places. Do you intend to moderate it in the future, or will you keep allowing it on your instance?
@Nicra I wouldn't characterise this as a freedom of speech issue. The content in question is illegal in some jurisdictions.
Not only that, but because Mastodon instances can be moderated then the Admin of the instance can be held liable for the content.
This isn't a case of "I'm not federating with you because I don't like what you say", this is a case of "If I federate with you and this sort of content is being shared I can get in serious shit"
@Nicra You know he took the decision to not federate between mastodon.social and pawoo.net as the admin of mastodon.social right?
This wasn't a decree from on high from the developer, this was in his role as an admin of an instance.
@troubleMoney No, I didn't know. But I hope other admins will act differently. This is like playing "god" in my opinion (and introducing too much politics in his administration). He is being too serious about his "social responsability". Everyone should be allowed to decide for himself what kind of content he wants to be "exposed" to. Hopefully, Mastodon allows users to bypass admins who feel overresponsible for their users. :) @gargron #FreeSpeech
@Nicra That's basically the point of the decentralised nature of Mastodon, if you disagree with the decisions of one instance admin then you're free to either start up your own instance or find a different instance that more closely aligns to your views.
@troubleMoney Yes. We just need a clear description of the policy of every instance, so that we don't need to move several times before finding our "home" (for those of us who want to post controversial content )
@troubleMoney @Gargron shouldn’t think of himself as a kind of father-like or god-like figure presiding over every aspect of the universe he created (no offense meant). Let the police do the policing (if they can 😊)
@troubleMoney It belongs to specialists (lawyers/judges) to discuss & decide those issues in every jurisdiction. Web developpers arent liable for the behavior of those who use their tools, no more than BMW will be held accountable if I use their car as a weapon. #Mastodon isnt a malware. The admin of an instance may get into trouble with the law, but this is none of @Gargron’s concern. No one is supposed to be conversant with the law of 150+ countries. #FreeSpeech #JustMyOpinion
