But it&#39;s a real nuisance trying to Limit those accounts.<br/><br/>If people want to publish pornography of whatever kind, they really should join or create focused instances for that.<br/><br/>Don&#39;t we want to cultivate a more &#34;family-friendly&#34; environment that will attract a bigger public?<br/><br/>Uncensored pornography on Free Open Source Software networks is precisely what &#34;Big Tech&#34; points at when they say that only corporate social tools are child-safe. And yet we *know* that it&#39;s not the case.<br/><br/>It&#39;s already a certain workload moderating a Mastodon instance.<br/><br/>If we don&#39;t sandbox pornography, when why don&#39;t we allow gore and other offensive content? <br/><br/>I actually did a some six weeks of training as a moderator for Meta, so I do have some personal knowledge of the range of content you could be exposed to if nobody moderates anything.<br/><br/>#mastodon #pornography 2026-07-03T19:56:33Z
