As admins, we removed the scat communities, thinking that scat was covered by the NSFL. However, some people have opposing views on this matter. What do you think about it? If people want it allowed, then we can restore content.

Edit: My answer for friends in the comments; The main reason NSFL was banned is because we currently don’t have the tools to separate porn from NSFL. I’m in favor of the ban because I think its the same way in scat. If we had enough tools right now, we wouldn’t be ban the NSFL either. Although, I agree that voting for niche fetishes doesn’t make sense.

Edit 2: Also I don’t want to think about shit anymore. I’m out 😀 https://lemmynsfw.com/post/117500

      $2 per user is very expensive!

      It’s only the cost of a cup of coffee. Your users can afford it, easily.

      In any case, your argument seems to hinge on ‘the instance isn’t yours, so don’t try and change the rules’.

      My argument is that if you don’t like the rules of this clubhouse, decentralization allows you to go start your own clubhouse, with your own rules.

      If you like being lead around on a leash, why aren’t you hanging out on Spez’s Reddit?

      I’m not being lead around on a leash. I’m not the one who has an issue with banning poopoo from one instance.

      The admins here have chosen to be mature and democratic, and listen to the requests of their community. That’s why they opened this vote and are seeing it out; they’re good people.

      And my vote says no. Most votes say no.

      The bar for entry to create, manage, and gain traction for an instance is still high no matter how you look at it.

      Bullshit. There’s already 824 different instances. There’s no reason there can’t be a 825th instance. The only bar that’s lower is the bar to coup an established instance.

      As a result they’ve decided to at least take another look before throwing a niche part of their community into the grinder.

      Even if they didn’t, they’re not under any obligation to cater to that niche. There’s no reason the niche needs to be a part of that community. It can just as easily be a part of another community. The admin team of LemmyNSFW cannot stop you from sharing poopoo on Lemmy, not even with an authoritarian ban. It’s trivial to circumvent their authority, with your own instance.

      Democracy is never a bad thing ❤

      Completely agreed. More reason to start your own instance, with your own voice, rather than drowning out someone else’s voice on their instance.

          you side-stepped, re-worded, ignored, or outright lied in answer to my points.

          No, I did not.

          I think you’re trolling,

          I’m not.

          but if you’re not then please consider being more respectful in the future.

          Cut the bullshit, maybe you can earn my respect.
