I’m curious to hear how a non-corporate NSFW community can thrive safely? You said you don’t have any answers - does anyone else?

I have the technical knowledge and plenty of money to run a lemmy instance and enough time to dev some moderation tools. But it seems like the issue isn’t technical.

If somebody brought me a few full-time moderators and a lawyer or two (who I don’t have to pay), I’d happily spin up an instance with terabytes of storage and start developing whatever tools the mods need. If somebody guarantees me I won’t be liable and won’t EVER see CP, I’ll provide the servers, sysadmin, and some dev work.

Reddit has something special with their unpaid mods - I can’t see it working any other way, but a group of mods like gonewild or something is probably one in 10milion.

Quick edit: I also want to say that I agree with everything you said :)

I watched that wayyyy longer than I thought I would, like most other people here lol

But it was still disappointing that he just hand-waved the two good fridges already having cold stuff (that’s when I stopped watching). Anyone from somewhere with constant hurricanes knows that thermal mass is important when keeping a fridge at temp

Why? Racists and fascists can stay on their own instance. If you want to read those posts so bad, just find a server that federated with exploding heads or whatever. Or run your own instance, the one your account is on doesn’t federated with either exploding heads nor lemmygrad.
