Welcome to Ask Burggit, wanted to get it off the ground and make an initial post, and I was kind of curious to see what people would answer.

Every reddit alternative that I’ve been looking at for the last year had an anti NSFW policy, much less an anti loli policy. This is the first reddit alternative that I have seen that has a open loli policy. I can for sure see why they would block us just because we have porn. I feel the same is going to soon happen to the other NSFW instances if they keep up their non consensual porn like celebrity leaks. I hope we can successfully navigate the narrative and not become early adopters of say, a nazi channel. Or other such extreme indefensible community. One thing I worry about is if your anti-DMCA policy will attract a pirate community that uses this instance as a non-clandestine hard drive for movies and games.
If this was to happen, they’d be fine hosting, say links to torrent files or what have you. But they’d quickly reach the file size limit if they tried to upload full games/movies on our own servers, causing the upload to fail. So that shouldn’t be a huge issue.
This is an interesting one as, technically, it’d be allowed. However, they would likely want to avoid us, since we require users not directly harass or call for the death of specific groups or individuals. This would be… very difficult for that specific ideology to do. They would most likely prefer a different platform, which did not restrict things in this specific manner.
We also have no interest in being another Voat, Gab, Kiwifarms or similar type of site, and we have no issues stepping in if it seems things are starting to head that way.
Hope this addresses and ideally eases these concerns that you have.
I wouldn’t really count on that happening. Poison seeks its own kind and they’ll likely just make their own lemmy instance rather then set here. Especially considering that stuff did actually happen before and it ended miserably for them, when gab tried to open themselves to federation and promptly took themselves after being ridiculed and spammed from many, many sides and circles of the fediverse.
This is also what we believe will happen, those groups of individuals will be more likely to stick with their own kind. We also have a few things in our rules/description that have a very high likelihood of turning away those with extremely radical beliefs.
