Any critiques, desire for clarity, outright hatred, whatever have you. I will respond the best I can.

I know there's been some blowback on some of the policy updates but it's been difficult to really explain fully that the restrictive content policy is temporary, this community was very unmanaged for a time and it had to be reigned in somehow and with the limited tools at disposal the temporary policy changes were made.

Here's a comment that also explains a little bit behind the decisions made recently as well.

For community mods, we have a community mod coord matrix group chat now. Feel free to DM about it.

Also, there's another ongoing discussion regarding SFW communities on lemmyNSFW here.

I feel like the admins are disproportionately biased against drawn/hentai artwork.

A lot of the gonewild communities here are allowing unverified reposted images, and I’d venture a random guess that maybe 30% of the content is posted without the model’s knowledge or permission, which poses issues with privacy/consent law (etc).

So why ban hentai scat/bestiality communities yet leave the actually illegal communities untouched? If the admins were as strict with IRL content as they were with hentai, all of these legally questionable communities should be “temporarily” banned until better moderation tools exist.

There’s clearly a double standard here that exists.

Maybe this is just a problem I’m having, but I can’t access LemmyNSFW with my VPN (Proton VPN) on. I typically have it running all the time, but it seems even more important that it work considering the subject matter.

Myself and @hellagooned are also having this problem as mentioned in our comments further down.

I'm not sure why this would be happening. I'll send a DM and maybe we can track it down.

One other issue I’m having is following users. Is that possible? Or am I just missing it?

This is a core lemmy enhancement. I don't believe this is currently on their radar. I will add it to ours and see what that would take. It might not be feasible to implement on our instance alone but if we can work it out I'll try to get it merged into lemmy.
