I mean the obvious answer is that they’re commies, but why? My feed is so dead now

      Told the admins here that this would happen. I think I may jump ship as well then, it’s a shame there are no free-speech instances that aren’t filled with porn.

      Probably going to sh.itjust.works

          I’ll only use this account for when I feel like edgy shit. Don’t go blocking any instances, I won’t be able to talk to them :v

            How is that going to work if everyone you want to “talk to” is defederated from this instance? Defederation breaks contact in both directions as far as I can tell, and if it doesn’t, it definitely at least makes it so an instance that defederates with this one disallows this one from talking to it.

            That’s fine, but do keep in mind that it’s in our rules that when interacting on other instances, you follow the rules of those instances.

    It’s most likely our willingness to host loli/shota/cub and probably because we allow controversial opinions. They might’ve also found something we posted that went against the Chinese Communist Party or North Korea or some other communist country.

    Unfortunately, this sort of thing is inevitable and there’s little we can do to stop it beyond what we have already put in place to try and make peace with other instances. And we do not intend on changing our policies to try and appease other instances.

      You really should change it since why would anyone stay here if they’re limited by content they can see?

      Just put the loli stuff in an NSFW community, easy solution, no need to flaunt it and give other instances excuses to ban burggit. Oh and don’t even get me started with the hypocrisy surrounding banning NSFL content lol

        Sorry, we’re not going to change our policies, not for you, not for other instances and for no other reason so long as we can help it. Genuinely wouldn’t care if every instance defederated with us tomorrow, we won’t bend.

            We’re not a “Free Speech” instance and never claimed to be. We explain that pretty in-depth here: https://burggit.moe/post/5280 It’s a pinned post which is SFW and was available for viewing before you signed up.

            NSFL content would also only worsen the defederation issue, if that’s something you genuinely care about.

              NSFL is such an easy solution, just make a community for it. Likewise, it’s the same solution for the pedo stuff.

                You do realize all the loli/shota/cub stuff are in communities, right? Like it’s up to the individual communities on whether they want to allow it or not. We even have a few communities who don’t allow it. They’re also all NSFW communities which can be easily filtered out on a per-user basis, all posts marked as NSFW (also easy to filter out.)

                  That’s my point. Why advertise it in big letters saying, ‘HEY, WE ALLOW SEXUALISED IMAGES OF PRETEND CHILDREN’? Just say; ‘We allow any and all sexual content within law, blahblahblah

                  Or better yet, just don’t mention it anywhere and let users discover it by asking.

                  Least that way you won’t get other instances stomping this one into obscurity. Like why would I use burggit for loli shit when I can just go to pixiv or some other website that has far more and in better quality? Your priorities are all over the place, you should really hammer down on that free expression that burggit offers, since right now that’s what lacking in most of the available instances.

                  But hey, your server, you can do whatever you want with it, but I recommend nailing that freedom of expression and discussion part, that’s your strength. The loli shit just dilutes that.
