The mods there have decided to allow underage looking content, skirting close to CP. Unless we want such disgusting stuff on our feed, I think we should defederate from that instance.

Pinging @ernest as well.

This seemed odd to me, so I went to investigate. A clarification was posted 2 hours ago. Stating very clearly that:

  • loli/shota are BANNED and not okay in any way.

  • IRL kids are BANNED OBVIOUSLY because no shit.

  • characters who are petite/young-looking but not obviously underage are ALLOWED because as an instance the votes decided that banning all of it was destructive, and differentiating between them can be impossible.

So, it seems like an anti-witch hunting measure, which has ironically caused a massive witch hunt for the instance as a whole. These guys don't seem to in any way support pedophilia (thank God).

Petite / young-looking but not obviously underage

That still might actually be illegal in some jurisdictions. The wording of the British law on it bans "pseudo photographs" of people who are underage, and the definition used would probably cover that.

I think Canada has a law against it?

Yep, and so does several other countries.
