Welcome to Burggit, You won’t find unreasonable content restrictions here! Your controversial legal porn is allowed here! Sit back, grab some lotion and a tissue, because I have a feeling things are about to get messy!

Just came over from LemmyNSFW to check out this scene. For those of you who are curious, it really is a hot mess over there.
It started out as a cool and relaxed instance with one of the largest collections of smut on the fediverse. Now over half of the communities I’ve followed are gone, one of the mods I respected was banned for reasons I still don’t understand, and the admins are arguing over the rules and whether or not they can determine consent from hentai.
That’s right, they are trying to treat cartoons like real life.
Oh, and pokemon stuff is now banned for some reason. As if we have to protect the pokemon from abuse too.
I am at a loss for words.
I’ve been on the internet for a long time and I don’t think I’ve ever seen an implosion this wild before. At least not since Myspace.
I have one foot over there still, trying to nudge it where I can in a more positive direction like before, but I’m thinking it’s a lost cause. We all see where this is going.
TL;DR I think my philosophy aligns much more closely with this place, and so far I like the vibe. So… you might be seeing a lot more of me around, lol.
Wow this actually makes my joke post seem less like a joke and more like a factual statement: https://burggit.moe/comment/64115
Absolutely rediculous what’s going on over there.
We’re happy to have you, look forward to seeing you around more.
Welcome to Burggit!
I definitely have no skin in the game here, but wow just skimming some of the discussion topics, it sounds like a small group of people want to monopolize a fairly easy to vocalize domain for a very specific purpose of power-modding it rather than any sincere attempt at being an all-encompassing community.
Kind of like how some people are moderators / owners for some 30-40 communities on popular instances and flooding some of them with submissions as if all they do for a day job is to do that under the guise of “sharing content” while giving little to no room for anything to stick long enough to garner discussion (I don’t know about the next person, but the “content” is the discussion, not the shared link).
These people are not leaders nor are they effective community managers. Rather they want to monopolize the community to serve a particular motive, and are leveraging the fact they’ve become “landed gentry” to shape a community that fits their wishes, rather than one spun together by the engagement of its members.
Think it’s funny that the lemmynsfw instance is having its own internal mutiny. tl;dr - ex-admin reported the server to their host prompting a server migrate
Leaving these here for archival as my account got banned.
below is the post which got me banned.
Well actually it was a post I made replying to the admin’s post telling them they clearly don’t care about legality if they’re willing to host pornography in a country where pornography is illegal. But I didn’t get a chance to screencap that one.
and here’s their “reason” for banning me:
I don’t understand the admin’s last sentence:
Isn’t it less risky if it’s legal? There’s no need to hide and fear repercussions from authorities? Them moving to Ukraine where any pornography is illegal is contradicting this statement lol. Perhaps they think that the Ukraine government has bigger things to tend to (well uh the war) and the provider would be willing to accept any money they can get right now?
