This is an interesting point. I am reading this from a different instance. I wonder if merely federating with this instance from a US based instance requires the same thing.
Well, there's a discussion on the lemmy github that sort of touches on this issue, because right now instances cache federated content. So let's say somebody posts a bunch of illegal content here, and before it gets nuked by mods it gets federated to beehaw, which caches the material. Now beehaw is technically hosting illegal material, and they may not even realize it.
Honestly would make more sense if everyone defederated it for this reason. If you want lemmy.nsfw, go to lemmy.nsfw. That way none of the other instances have that risk. And I personally would be fine if NSFW didn't show up randomly in my feed. When I want to see it I can swap profiles or switch instances.
Sure, but that disincentivises people from posting and participating in the community, because forcing people to have two profiles is a significant barrier. Easier and better to just implement not caching images flagged nsfw in the codebase
Yes, mainly because there aren't many instances where you can reach every other instance. FMHY is nice in that regard, but if the mainstream instances defederate from it, I may have to do the same. Really hoping that won't happen, but it seems inevitable.
Most third party apps for Reddit had profile switching built in. There's a third party Lemmy app called Connect for Lemmy that just came out that boasts multiple profiles for multiple instances.
You're not wrong about the second part, though.
Jwrboa already handles that as well.
