This may be more of an “out of the loop” thing, but I’m new to this site and I’m noticing that lemmy.world seems surprisingly bereft of any substantial NSFW content. I’m surprised! Isn’t the adage that porn motivates technological progress?
What’s even more surprising is that the NSFW instance seems brand spanking new.
Is there some code-of-conduct thing which has prevented NSFW community growth? Or is it just a demographic thing where there wasn’t much/any demand until the Reddit exodus?
One of the benefits of the fediverse is that there is no over-arching code of conduct, precisely because there’s no way to enforce it. Each instance’s owner decides on what they are willing - and not willing - to host on their own instance. Other instances can “defederate” from yours if they don’t like what’s hosted there, which means the two instances will stop talking to each other, as beehaw did with lemmy.world. But there is no way to globally ban an instance off the face of the internet.
