That is some wild dialogue. blobcatlaugh2

Those are some impressively short shorts

Good to have you back, Disa.

I also know that there’s been issues with the Lemmy-NSFW fork being used, some people want us to fork it, make modifications to it and use that. I’m going to shoot this idea down now. Burggit is just me and Burger, there’s no one else here, and we do have other things we like working on. We’re not maintaining an entire special fork. It’s likely that we will just go back to the main Lemmy branch, though I would be open to arguments against that or maybe even suggestions for already existing forks to use.

If compromise modifications aren't an option, then I think it's crucial that we stick with the NSFW patched version as it is. I conjecture that allowing NSFW posts and communities to be seen without logging in will make the difference between this place slowly growing vs slowly dying. I don't have access to numbers to back this up, and we'd likely need a longer trial run of the NSFW patched version to judge whether there's an inflection point. However, the "ghost town" effect that has been mentioned is real. People largely will not go through a registration process before they have an idea of what the site has to offer.

a significantly worse off reputation among those that hear horror stories of “Could you believe I saw ___ on the front page? God only know what they’re hiding behind locked doors for registered members if that’s what they show to the public”

This ship sailed long ago. There's no point in trying to appeal to those that are intolerant of the existence of fetish content.

Nah, I'm of the opposite perspective on this. Keeping NSFW stuff login-gated is a slow death sentence for the site. The change to show it to everyone seems (to me) to have resulted in a slight increase in new people posting, and probably puts us above replacement level instead of below. I don't have actual numbers to back that up though.

The only change I would make is to the initial content warning popup for logged-out users. Make it more specific to burggit, and notify people that by creating an account they can filter the more extreme content. A booru-style default filter that you can change or disable without logging in would be nice to have, but would be a much more difficult change to make. Even then, I'd only have it disable auto-expand for posts from the more extreme communities, rather than hiding them entirely.

I, for one, welcome our new mercantile overlord

This one is really good

"Wardrobe malfunction" has a more severe connotation in Kill la Kill

Yeah, letting your device talk directly to them would make the whole thing moot, of course. blobcatlaugh2

 

 

I made a bookmarklet for creating "image gallery" posts from shota.nu, inspired by @raman_klogius@burggit.moe's Helpful ShotaNu Cat script. Mine isn't nearly as featureful, but it doesn't require any browser extensions to use.

Just create a new bookmark and paste this code into the URL field:


javascript: (() => {
	const shotaNuUrl = "https://shota.nu/";

	if(window.location.href !== shotaNuUrl) {
		alert("Only works on " + shotaNuUrl);
		return;
	}

	let uploadsDiv = document.getElementById("uploads");

	if(uploadsDiv.childElementCount < 1) {
		alert("Upload some files first");
		return;
	}

	let fileDivs = uploadsDiv.getElementsByClassName("upload");
	let galleryItems = [];

	for(const fd of fileDivs) {
		let imgUrl = fd.firstChild.firstChild.href;
		imgUrl = imgUrl.replace(shotaNuUrl, shotaNuUrl + "ss/");
		galleryItems.push(`[![](${imgUrl})](${imgUrl})`);
	}

	alert(galleryItems.join("\n\n"));
})();

On shota.nu, after you've uploaded your images, click on the bookmark to run the script. An alert box will pop up with markdown code. Copy the markdown into your post on burggit, and you're all set.

And I'd just made an alt account there too. blobcatsnapped

 

I usually just stick to browsing the local feed here, but lately I've started to branch out a little more. I'm subscribed to:

It's kind of hard to find NSFW communities that are still accessible from burggit though, since the lists are all hidden. Anyone want to recommend communities that they like?

We've got some content on here that may be worth cross-posting to other instances for promotional purposes as well. Not the loli stuff obviously, but posts from the more mainstream-friendly communities like !general_hentai_and_lewd_art@burggit.moe. Would be nice to have some more activity on here, though the fediverse in general is contracting right now, and will probably continue to do so until reddit does something stupid again.

This is my NSFW account, so that's primarily what I'm focused on here, but feel free to post your SFW subscriptions too.

 

One of their users requested defederation because they didn't want to see loli hentai. The admin went through with it because of our stance on the DMCA, so that's new. Not sure what the "pornographic content illegal in the us" bit is about, though.

 

After losing their lemmy.fmhy.ml domain name, they're back at lemmy.fmhy.net. @Arisusanchez commented a few days about it in my old thread about them, but I missed it until just now.

 

FMHY is down for now, though hopefully not permanently. They were the only large instance that hadn't defederated us.

 

Another one down. Looks like their admin isn't actively hostile to us, they're just in a hostile jurisdiction:

I’m sure this will come as a disappointment to many of you as you have joined this instance specifically because we do not block or defederate with anybody. Unfortunately my hand is forced on this occasion.

As many of you know this server is hosted in Ireland. It has been brought to my attention that under Irish law:

Virtual child pornography is illegal in Ireland per the Child Trafficking and Pornography Act of 1998 which includes “any visual representation”.[Irish Statute Book] The country has strict laws when it comes to child abuse material, even if it doesn’t contain any “real children”.

As you can understand this requires me to defederate and remove the offending material from my server. There are newer admin tools in the works which will allow me to block specific communities instead of whole servers. Once this is in place I will refederate with burggit and block the individual offending communities.

This will also apply to other servers with offending content but as far as I’m aware burggit is the only one for the moment.

I still maintain my ideal of not defederating as much as possible but sometimes its out of my hands.

Thanks to everyone for helping create this vibrant community and for supporting. I am dedicated to make VLemmy the best it can be.
