People are generally good with having their own freedom, where they get outraged is when they discover that other people have freedom. Obviously this situation can't be allowed so rules need to be made, and enforced, so those other people have to conform.
The same arguments daily! Even as a politically active American it's utterly boring and unnecessary. Yes, we get it, you hate $PoliticalTribe and feel that you need to show everyone how awful they are. Yes, fine, they are truly terrible. Now lets talk about something else for a minute.
IMHO solving 1 needed educations, but that’s also a big American no-no
No it's not. For all of their ills, stupidity, nonsense, fraud, and extremely questionable decisions the NRA does run education campaigns with their "Eddie Eagle" program. A big problem is that it has been kicked out of schools, especially schools in Blue States, so they're unable to reach one of the audiences that need it the most.
It's like Red States kicking Sex Education out of schools and being shocked at teen pregnancies. Education works far better than restriction. Always.
Why would they face any legal consequences any more than any other social media?
Instance location. Content comes at you from all over the Fediverse but once its in your instance it's actually located on your server. It's obvious how even regular NSFW stuff can be a problem if your instance is sitting in a ME country but perhaps less obvious (and more troublesome) is text based content.
For instance if a user is enrolled on an instance located in Germany and then subscribes to Neo-Nazi content from an instance located in the United States. That NN material is now on your instance but much of it is probably illegal in Germany. What happens when the German Authorities find out and come knocking?
Even "Child Porn" isn't nearly as cut and dried as most people think. Things like /c/tinytitties or /c/flatchested from lemmynsfw are arguably illegal in a place like Australia since the person can be perceived as under-age due to their physical characteristics. It gets worse when you toss in the AI Generated stuff.
Big Tech does a lot of juggling trying to stay clear of these problems and they have large legal teams to help them when they run into trouble. I rather doubt that most instance admins have the resources for it.
I mean, I say ‘announce’ but the message is “she’s home. Panic and tidy!”
This is basically what I'm looking for! Thanks for the link to the Alexa Media player, do you happen to know of a write up for putting the HA / TTS / AMP pieces together?
It is I, the user in question! I've been busy on another instance and hadn't checked in here for a few days, so apologies for that. I'm not a "powermod" nor am I "squatting" on communities as some kind of power play. The particular community you want is an NSFW adjacent space that's helped untold thousands of people over the years and it absolutely REQUIRES a sex positive moderation team without any egocentric jackassery in order to function correctly.
The /c/ you asked me for is, as you know, based on a Reddit sub and one that I'm heavily invested in. I've been part of that community as both a user and moderator for a very long time. I am quite literally one of the people who helped build and maintain what you enjoyed.
Is it "Reserved" for Reddit moderators? No, or at least not really. When I created that /c/ it looked like Reddit was going to come completely unwound very shortly (still might actually) so I was making some elbow room in case we needed to shift over in a hurry. In fact all of the communities I created here are the same way; I'm not just "a" mod in the subs those lemmy communities are based on I'm actually a builder of them. It's also why some of them have "placeholder" posts, so if another mod from that sub happened to wander by they would know to make a request.
With that said you are absolutely correct that I need to either do something with the /c/ you requested or let it go. So with that how about you join me in building a similar community here on lemmy.world?
