All my nudes gone.
https://docs.lemmynsfw.com/ is still up but not updated in 2 years. That’s hosted separately on GitHub Pages though, we just know the domain owner is the same
Wait, what happened?
I liked leaving non sexual comments in the NSFW content. Like I would comment on the room decor.
That meme about the cabinets behind the girl with the milk, that was your fault? :D
Fuck! My first account was on lemmy.ee which passed away a few months ago. My second account was on lemmynsfw thinking the presence of porn would be a guarantee of its sustainability. It’s like been banned twice from Reddit.
FUCK SO THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED TO IT
Who cares 🤷♀️
If you want to preserve lemmy content launch your own instance and cache it yourself. If you want to control your own communities, launch your own instance and host it yourself.
You cannot expect to atomize your world into billions of isolated individuals without losing something. We need community, individualism will only get you so far.
That just isn’t how the fediverse works. It exists in the moment. If you want it to persist you need to back it up or figure out a plan. Just expecting someone to put up as server for you and leave it up forever is fantasy thinking. The people who don’t pay it forward and contribute are leeches, not community members.
Oh so that’s what happened. Damn, It was one of the servers with ZERO political brainrot to go & just unwind.
As for the admin issues, I saw some interesting points raised in the comments, wondering if Piefed will learn from it ?
You know what they say, don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
Real question - how does one host a Lemmy that accepts all sorts of content without having to keep constant tabs on it?
Like, if we did sprinkle nsfw content throughout dozens of Lemmy servers?
I’m asking this because I hosted a pixelfed server one time, allowed thousand users, and those abuse reports became hard on my soul. Some were pretty vanilla nsfw. But some required me to forward it to 3-letter agencies in the States. And while I’m not a fan of talking to the cops, I’m also not a fan of awful shit on my server.
It must be monitored. You need good mods and admins keeping things clean. There’s gonna be instances where someone will upload something fucked and that risk comes with hosting such a service.
I know Cloudflare has a built in CSAM scanning tool that requires registration to enable, but other than that, you’ll have to monitor your site.
I’ve got all my nuts in one sack though.
Fix it with stitches!
See? Centralization is a bad idea.
It’s a Valentine’s day tragedy.
As an instance admin myself, I’m so confused… If you went through the effort of setting up an instance, the effort of transferring all the access and stuff to someone else would be nothing. Just seems super weird to disappear without a trace and without handing it over to someone else.
They could be dead. Or imprisoned. Or just not interested anymore.
I mean there’s a high chance it also got ransomwared.
the lemmy nsfw admin had previously asked if anyone was willing to take ownership of the instance because it was too much mental overhead to moderate a space that could sometimes get dicey and be legally liable for what was hosted on the server. there were no takers. the fact that this admin has been silent leads me to believe that this was not an active choice and instead something away from the keyboard led to this, be that legal, personal, or mental concerns that took priority over something they already felt no one would take on based on previously asking
See @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone’s better explanation of the situation here: https://piefed.blahaj.zone/comment/3354654
I could just imagine someone’s wife finding out:
“Are you telling me that all this time, you’ve been running a porn site on the Internet? And you don’t even make money at it?”
That would be my last day as mod.
If they were actively losing a lot of money on it that could be a valid reason in itself, couldve added up as they scaled up storage
seems like this is what happened to Lemmy. ee too, nobody would take over some of the instance administrations.
They had two admins, only the first of which had the keys to the castle.
Ah! Thank you for the clarification. I’m glad you always know what’s going on in the metafediverse
Well if that is true, then that’s completely fair. If they looked for someone to take it and nobody did, then there should be no surprise that it is gone now. You can be sad about it but not too sad, you should’ve just taken up the charge yourself then.

Without porn, is a platform really a platform?
Tumblr has entered the chat.

Its zombie has, anyway
they still have reddit, where people peddle thier OF profiles are part of thier businesses all the time, by using hordes of bots.
a significant number of us are permanently banned from reddit for whatever reason
New email account, a VPN or new IP, new cookies, they can’t actually ban a person.
But screw reddit. People need to get off it.
We need a corp BS free, free speech, public platform.
They defend it now, one piece sub had a of girl post a cosplay, mod removed it because she had of links in profile, top post was them hating on the mod saying shes just an innocent fan who happens to have an of business lmao, I got the same hate getting a girls post removed on raves and she had posts asking about were to buy fetanyl before she started posting of posts to support her addiction. They come in acting innocent, but they’ve turned themselves into a business, so even when they aren’t actively advertising they are advertising, since they are walking advertisements for their of business and think like that when approaching things.
True
I’m sorry everyone. It was me. I recently found out about lemmynsfw and may have overloaded the server.
Glad I’m not the one having to deal with your insatiable needs - especially now.
There were little elves no one soldier can take down our world like this.
Rub one out for our homie.
What??? In the Valentines day? I fucking liked Lemmy nsfw
