We have over a period of time gotten repeated reports of unmarked NSFW posts in certain communities. All of these communities share the same singular mod, who have shown indifference when content has been reported. As leaving NSFW posts unmarked is against our instance rules, we have moved to set the rule-breaking communities to hidden.
Those of you who subscribe to hidden communities will continue to see them as normal, for everyone else these communities will look empty and hidden from c/all.
The newly hidden communities are:
- !thiccmoe@ani.social
- !cybermoe@ani.social
- !fitmoe@lemmy.world
- !kemonomoe@ani.social
- !streetmoe@ani.social
- !midriffmoe@ani.social
- !fangmoe@ani.social
- !murdermoe@lemmy.world
- !officemoe@ani.social
- !gothmoe@ani.social
- !meganemoe@ani.social
- !morphmoe@ani.social
- !militarymoe@ani.social
We would also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that programming.dev’s policy is to by default hide political communities, pornographic communities and communities hosting bot spam. Users seeking such content can subscribe to hidden communities so see them as normal.
Just recently we also went ahead and hid communities from lemmygrad due to the politics clause.
As always we encourage our local users to report content that break our instance rules. All content you report are seen by the admin team and helps inform the team of what’s going on across the fediverse.
Hiding communities outside our predefined rules (politics, porn and bot spam) isn’t something we take lightly, and we are only hiding them now after several months of reoccurring reports that break our instance rules (3.4).
We will do our best to be transparent about when and why we hide a new communities, and be aware that subscribing to a hidden community will unhide it for your feed.
If you do have concerns and suggestions on how to alleviate those, please know that we are happy receive feedback.
