As I said elsewhere, the “cost” argument doesn’t hold in my opinion. If I with my lemmynsfw account subscribe to /c/tractors on a completely different instance, that entire community’s content gets pulled to this instance anyways, so whether or not the community is created here or elsewhere, if there’s at least 1 user on this instance subscribed to it, it’ll create exactly the same cost on this instance, that’s just how the fediverse works…
But you have to admit that even that workplace line is blurry at best right? A celeb in bikini, on the catwalk with massive cleavage, on a red carpet with a slightly risqué dress,… To me as long as there’s people finding it sexy, attractive, arousing… I’d say it fits in this instance’s theme. Everything else is purely up to taste and you’ve got the block community and subscription functionalities to tailor the available content to your taste. You’re already using those since I cannot imagine anyone existing who is into each and every single fetish that’s available on this instance.
Now if its the amount of communities that you have a problem with, then it’s a different discussion. Then I’d say it becomes more so about what we consider to be be spam creation of communities and what not, because mind you, for each community dedicated to a specific celeb, I can guarantee you there’ll be one for an adult actress as well.
In short, I think the discussion is much more nuanced than saying we’re just gonna blanket x or Y content because some people don’t consider it nsfw enough :)
So what do you do with communities like gone mild, gentlemanboners, cosplay, or, to walk the line even closer /c/feet? The majority of the content on the latter one is purely pictures of feet, nothing else, would you ban all that as well then? Where do you draw the line? How much clothes does someone need to wear to be considered nsfw? Or is it the pose/actions? Is there some clothing/lewd action ratio that demarcates the boundary between sfw and nsfw?
Given the fact that your communities pop up regularly in active/hot, I’d say there’s at the very least a fair bit of interest in them from the people on this instance, so I definitely wouldn’t feel bad about it, it’s clear that there’s plenty people enjoying your content
Where do you draw the line though? I personally agree that a community for each and every celeb might be a bit excessive, especially with the celebs rule enforcing the title=name of the celeb the community making it easily filterable. But in terms of taste, to each their own. Are we gonna ban any post/community that’s not explicit? No more cos play girls, gone mild, bathing suits,… Full frontal nudity or bust? The argument about server space some people bring up is a bit weird imo. If someone on here were to subscribe to c/tractors on another instance with their account on this instance, all of c/tractors would get pulled into this instance as well…
Heads up, title violates rule 1
FYI, you might want to adapt your title, it’s violating rule 1 of the community
