Couple thoughts:

• It might be smart for the admins to make a community specifically to ask the admins questions, or a thread somewhere. I think people might have questions or suggestions.
• Could there please be a site-wide rule about communities not using NSFW/NSFL images for their community icons? Ngl, it’s kind of gross to be scrolling through the community list and see a close-up of a butthole. It defeats the purpose of marking things NSFW and having pics blurred to be considerate to other users.

Ahhh, that makes sense. It’s unfortunate that Lemmy doesn’t have more than just the NSFW tag. At least embedding images still work!

Honestly I wish Lemmy would allow for some mechanism of creating custom tags/content warnings. NSFW is too in-specific in general. It would be cool if Lemmy could at least allow admins to create custom tags for their instances like fictional gore versus IRL gore, or drawn porn versus IRL porn.

Why must guro not be in the actual URL field? If you mark the post NSFW, doesn’t the image still get blurred? It could be required instead the title contain the words [Guro] or [NSFL] to warn people sufficiently. I ask because linking to the image means you need to leave this site and load some other site, which is annoying and slow and I’d rather not have to do when browsing casually.

1 million dollars in this economy is sadly not worth as much as it used to be, so I’d probably invest it. After growing the money a bit to the point I’m set for life, I’d start philanthropizing. I’d probably ask people smarter than me about what the most good I can do with the money I have is, ala effective altruism. I might start my own charities/organizations. I can’t really imagine myself splurging much on expensive things without feeling guilty about the people who need my money more than me that I could be helping. I’m a total simp for ethics.

If I was rich enough, I’d hire lobbyists to try and get the goverment to tax the rich, get rid of the electoral college, and ban lobbyists lol, among other things. Idk, I’d just try my best to make a dent in the suffering people live through.

Ooh, I how echo that sentiment! Tbh the “pedos aren’t automatically evil” thing has become a litmus test of open-mindedness/friendship material for me. If somebody passes that test they instantly gain my respect, because the type of person that can think beyond their own reactive disgust to a topic and end up defending the most hated people in our society simply because it’s the right thing to do, is the type of person I want in my life lol.

I’m curious though, how did you accidentally become passionate about this topic? (You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.)

I searched for loli/shota communities on lemmynsfw.com to see if they existed there, because didn’t specify if they allow that type of content, and I was curious if they did. I noticed the only two communities that popped up in the search both led here. I clicked apprehensively, because the type of places that allow loli/shota can be a real mixed bag lol.

I was very pleasantly surprised to immediately see the pinned post “Welcome to Burggit! We’re not what you think we are!”. Good sign! Then I saw y’all are explicitly trying not to be like Voat or Kiwifarms, and that’s an even better sign!

I don’t even like lolisho content. It’s just an important ethical issue to me that fictional content that hurts no one should not be treated the same as actual CSAM. And that people who like said content shouldn’t immediately be assumed to be pedophiles. And that pedophiles not be immediately assumed to be abusers/molesters/evil monsters. It’s an issue I’ve accidentally become passionate about. I’m likely to meet people with this same mindset here. So I joined!

Burggit also got a genuine chuckle out of me when I read the DMCA policy on the sidebar. The bluntness is hilarious.

I have to admit I hate the logo for this instance tho lmao
