    5.0: Lemmy.World consists of a large number of communities from all around the world, leading our federated network.

    This sentence is a little unclear to a native speaker. Maybe change “leading” to “constituting”.

    I also suggest that maybe an extra clause could be added to pick up CP related content that may not be illegal, such as drawings, hentai and AI generated content that depicts minors involved in sexual or other inappropriate acts. It doesn’t quite fit into 5.04 as it may not necessarily be illegal (IDK) , or 5.06 as it may not necessarily involve gore or violence.

      Well good luck in defining what constitutes “a minor” in a drawing.

      I think it’s fine like this, most openly loli/shota-friendly instances are defederated anyway, I don’t think the “gray area” where most hentai falls is bothering anyone.

        It’s not about defining it, it’s about giving yourself a pre communicated basis to remove content that may be disagreeable but not strictly illegal.
