I just posted this post pretty much verbatim here in !shota, and I’d appreciate if you checked it out if that’s something you’re into. Note that I’ll be taking feedback from both posts into account.

This post is copied pretty much verbatim from this post in !toddlercon. If you’re into toddlercon, I’d appreciate if you checked out that post as well. I’ll be taking feedback from both posts into account.

The third image here needs to be tagged as either NONCON (or RAPE). Spoilering it in the post’s body would be enough. Additionally, gallery info should be in brackets, i.e. [+13 Pics]. Also, while it’s not against the rules, I would prefer if the most of the posts here at least have the author’s name in them (for a gallery like this, listing them in the post’s body instead of the title would be acceptable).

TLDR: If you abuse children (including sharing CSAM) or only on this site to post about how much you want to have sex with children, fuck off.

For now I’ve been using Links to upload stuff.

Even before the performance degredation, it was recommended to use shota.nu for file uploads since it “saves us storage and will result in less upload failures because the built-in Lemmy uploader sucks” (from the Burggit tip).

This should go in !discussions or !loli

I’m not sure if the concerns of the “ghost town” in the original post can be resolved by having non-registered viewers see a bunch of NSFW posts.

99% of the posts here are NSFW (I wouldn’t be surprised if that wasn’t an exaggeration), so someone visiting the site for the first time would only see the other 1%. Given how few of SFW posts there are and how they don’t tend to have much interaction beyond the occasional comment or two, it wouldn’t be unreasonable for them to assume that this place is pretty much dead. By showing NSFW posts by default, new users would get an accurate measure of how active it is here and would be more likely to stay (and (hopefully) less of them would be scared off by extreme content than would leave due to lack of content).

Honestly, I’m not sure why the NSFW Lemmy UI removes the blur and auto-expands posts in the first place (though the option to automatically do this is appreciated). Reverting these is a no-brainer IMO, and it would bring the experience in line with vanilla Lemmy after creating an account (and enabling NSFW posts).

Kbin can federate with more software than lemmy, so there are more places to reach out to. Lemmy can pretty much only federate with other lemmy instances (or at the very least, it’s not very good at federating with non-lemmy instances). Based on what I’ve heard, kbin should also provide a better experince when federating with mastodon, pleroma, etc. since its UI’s more suited to it, but I haven’t used it for more than a few minutes.

I think the best way to get more users is to get more of the existing users to post (more) stuff. People aren’t going to pay much attention to a smaller instance like this if it doesn’t seem active (especially with all the defederation), and even just getting more of the current userbase to be more active would help with the “ghost town” feeling. Maybe we could have an Introductions community or weekly pinned !discussions thread or something. More community variety would probably also help, even if it’s just porn (at least it’d give people more of a reason to be here). I wonder, how many people are fine with loli (or any specific genre of porn) but aren’t really into it?

Not sure how I missed those tbh

Has registration been opened yet? If so, how do I register? If not, can I have a homeserver account?

It wasn’t something I had considered at the time. If I had known, you would not have been modded, and quite possibly banned.

It’s arbitrary in the sense that hitting a certain age doesn’t all of a sudden mean you can consent, though in the case of literal children (i.e. < 13) I think it’s pretty clear cut.

Contact stance isn’t really about current society, it’s about whether or not you would agree with a future where it’s destigmatized.

This definitely isn’t the case for all Pro-Cs, and doesn’t really affect my point.

But it shouldn’t arbitrarily be illegal for them to have a relationship with someone older than them.

It’s not arbitrary, it’s based on the notion that children can’t consent.

Ultimately, you’re not going to change my stance on this. I will not appoint a Pro-C MAP as a moderator on the grounds that I won’t work with someone who thinks children can consent (in either a real or hypothetical society).

It’s more than that, and to pretend it isn’t is disingenuous.

It still includes the “adults should be able to have sex with children” part, and that’s the part I take issue with. Also, considering that the ‘C’ stands for “Contact”, it’s hard to believe.

Society believes that minors… can’t consent, and that even consensual sex between minors is rape

This is definitely a problem, and some states have so-called Romeo and Juliet laws for situations like this. As somewhat of an aside, isn’t the age of consent below 18 in some countries (iirc it’s still 16 in some states)?

Do you really think this is acceptable?

No

Being a Pro-C MAP is about advocating for their rights, because no one else will.

There are people advocating for their rights, which is why we have things like Romeo and Juliet laws. Maybe you believe that it’s not enough or that there should be more advocacy, and I don’t think I’d disagree with that. But no part of minors’ rights implies “adults should be able to have sex with children”, nor is it a necessary position to take to advocate for minors.

How so? They think that children can consent, and that it’s therefore okay (or should be okay) to have sex with a child. Much like the rest of that list, this isn’t an “agree to disagree” sort of situation.
